I have my pages 12 & 13 to share with you today. I had Friday off work this week so was able to catch up with a few things, not least of which was a bit of housework! I soon got fed up with that and returned to finishing card making. I have left it so late again I won’t catch sight of the second class stamps again this year!
I wonder if I am the only one left who is posting her cards so late?
Do you have a favourite carol?
I had some time to myself on Sunday which is just as well because my journal entry for 11th has taken on a life of it’s own. I seem to have so much to say about Shimelle’s prompt for wrapping and then there was the story of the reindeer to tell. If only she hadn’t mentioned that this could be a really quick page to do!
My pages are quite small (5×7), so one page has turned into 5!….and the 11th wasn’t wrapping…
That’s the joy of this project though, no rules!
If you would like to read my journalling click on the page, it should open large enough to read in a new window.
Shimelle’s prompt today is Tradition.
I am so traditional at Christmas! Some of our traditions I can see in my childhood Christmases, a few from my husbands family and some of course we have made along the way. This is as many as I could get on my page!
I am linking todays page with Shimelles 10 on the 10th, her monthly challenge to post about 10 of anything you like. Your hopes, dreams, shoes, films, hats, anything you can possibly imagine will be linked here today.
10 lovely Christmas quotes to share
Ooops..I forgot to say if you click on the pictures they open full size in a new window. Hooray! I have finally worked out how to do it….
I have my pages 7 & 8 to share with you today. I am amazed that I am actually keeping up with this as work is taking all my energy at the moment. I read Shimelles prompt in the morning and if it ‘speaks to me’ I try to think about it as I am driving waiting in traffic. I am so pleased that I made a page template, I find it relaxing at the end of the day just to switch off and type up my thoughts. What do you do? Are you terribly organised? I don’t know how you manage with children still at school. I would love to have done this when my boy was little but I am sure I would never have found the time!
Only joking Ben, of course you can have it all!
note to self: remember to win the lottery this weekend.
I might add in some more pictures as the days go by.
It has stopped raining here, the fierce wind has dropped and the sun is shining. I’ll send you some calm today.
bet you thought I wasn’t going to include any!
I do want the main focus to be on my journalling this year, which is why I joined Shimelles class (loving it so far!) Lots of colour will come from the Christmas card on the left hand page and I have pretty digital tags from Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals that I have printed and cut ready to attach to the pages. There is room on the back of the tag for extra pictures or handwriting. I will put some pages together at the weekend and show you something that looks a bit like a book. In the meantime here are my pages 5 and 6.
There are such lovely journals on the forum and over the internet this year, very inspiring indeed.
How’s your journal coming along?
