Journal your Christmas 14th – 20th

Where did that week go? In a haze of work mostly and at home we are under siege from the dogs muddy feet. I am sure she has another one or two legs this week. I try to catch her as she scoots through the door but she is so much quicker than me.

I am always in a dilemma about keeping the carpet sparkling (ish) especially at this time of year because I remember my friend visiting me one Christmas, she had cancer and knew she didn’t have long to live. I had cleaned the carpet (again) but that morning Pepsi brought what seemed like, half the garden in, I was so fed up but my lovely friend told me that the state of my carpet was not important, in the big scheme of things it was more important to sit with her and be together. So, my carpets have muddy paw prints on again this morning but you can’t see them and actually neither can I. Pauline’s face is in my head and I can here her talking to me…

I have some catching up to do. Pages to post and blogs to visit, I can’t wait to look at all your fabulous pages. What a creative bunch you are.

If you wan’t to read my ramblings journalling, click on the pages, they open in a new window and should be big enough for you to read.

If you made it to here, thank you x
I hope you are happy and content and have a wonderful Christmas.

Journal Your Christmas 12th and 13th

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?

Journal Your Christmas 11th December.

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.

Journal Your Christmas 9th and 10 on the 10th

A traditional red & green Christmas for me

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….

Journal Your Christmas 7th & 8th

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.
