How are your celebration plans coming along? Are any of you planning a get-together for this weekend? Since we're ending the Cure a couple weeks later this year than last, we're now finishing smack dab in the middle of Holiday/Cocktail Party Season. So we're curious how many of you are hosting holiday parties, and if so, are you folding your Cure Celebration party into that?

Flickr member Cowgirlinwellies got her "heating disaster hole" cheered up for the holidays by putting together a log display with twinkle lights and candles. Great job!

In my ideal world, the Fall Cure would start a week or so after Labor Day. It's a bit stressful to get ready for the winter holidays and Cure at the same time.
Nobody's stopping you from starting earlier but yourself, wig3000. You can do The Cure 365 days of the year if you want to.
Ha! Don't I know that, Aimsly. I usually like participating in the groups Cures though.
Most of my projects have been on the smaller side, but they've had a lot of significance all the same, and I wouldn't have been as persistent if the only Curee would have been me. Knowing that there are many others out there pushing on in their respective homes has been crucial and the weekly assignments and articles with comments have been equally important.
Maybe a good time to start would have been the beginning of September? That way we would have finished before Advent.
Oops, forgot the comment question. What will stay on the top of my mind from this experience is that it's necessary to have some kind of Cure mentality all year round in order to maintain a pleasant state, which doesn't explode completely in your hands; "one item in, another out" for instance.
