Days 12-15

OK so here are days 12-15. I am really loving doing this - it's been so much fun

Day 12 - memories of Christmas Past

Day 13 - Christmas Music - faves? Do you like it? etc....

Day 14 - gifts on the big day - when do you open them, who gives them out?

Day 15 - visitors - do you have any over the holidays, etc..

That's about it for now. Am hoping to bake some gingerbread today - YUM!! Love it love it.

Till next time

Stll here and still Journalling

OK so I've been sick the last week so haven't been doing much blogging and I got a little behind on my journal. Then on Wednesday night Joel had a shocking tummy bug and was vomiting most of the night/early morning so that wiped us out as well. BUT i am all caught up now! I will post Days 7-11 now and then 12-15 tomorrow as I haven't photographed them yet and it's getting a bit dark now.

Here we go

Day 7 - all about our to do lists.

Day 8 - we had to share how it's looking like Christmas around our house/street/city!

Day 9 - we had to scrap about our traditions. I did this last year so I focused on a childhood tradition which was going to/watching the John Martins Christmas Pageant in Adelaide.

Day 10 - wrapping - what are we using? do we enjoy wrapping presents?

Day 11 - the Christmas Tree

OK hopefully Ill be back tomorrow with the rest of the photos and then I am planning on staying on track.

Till next time

JYC Day 4, 5 & 6

OK so I wasn't back yesterday BUT Andrew went to Sydney for a wedding over the weekend and took the camera. SO I couldn't take any pics of my pages. But here they are

Day 4 - we had to write about our Perfect Christmas. I have all photos of pretty things, catalogue and movies Christmas scenes. But that's not what my perfect Christmas is

Day 5 - we had to document how we countdown to Christmas or our Advent traditions/calendars.

Day 6 - share 2 stories of Christmas pasts - 1 good and 1 not so good. Mine were both from last Christmas. Good - it was Joel's first Christmas. Not good - first Christmas without Nanna and Mum & Dad moving away.

So I'm almost up to date!!

Till next time.

JYC Day 3

Still keeping up with Journal Your Christmas. Woo Hoo! Hoping I can go the distance.

Here is my Day 3 entry - it was all about Christmas cards. Do we make them, buy them , even send them, etc...?? I journalled inside the card.

I used a copy of the Christmas Card I'm sending out to people on the page.

Till tomorrow (hopefully!)

JYC Day 2

I KNOW!! 2 entries in 1 day. SHOCK HORROR!!
Here is my entry for Day 2. I only just got Day 3 email about 5 mins ago so technically I am caught up!!
We had to journal about the Christmas weather - snow or lack there of here in Australia

Ok that was all - just wanted to share!

Till next time

JYC Day 1

So here is my entry for Day 1 of Journal Your Christmas. They asked us to write a manifesto, a promise to ourselves. So here it is. Cause the prompts are coming from the UK, I am always going to be almost a day behind but that's ok. Joel is asleep now so I am going to try and get Day 2 done.

Christmas tree is half up. Well the tree is up and the decorations are going on tonight when Andrew gets home from work - pray that Joel doesn't trash it too much!! LOL!

Till next time!

Journal Your Christmas

So this year I am doing Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas again. I really loved doing it last year and think it will be something I try and do every year. I may mix it up a bit this year and use the prompts most of the time but also use the journal as a bit of a December Daily diary a la Ali Edwards (see link in sidebar)

So, as today is the 1st of December, the fun starts.

Here is the cover of my journal/album. I really love how it turned out.
MM Poinsetta glitter paper, MM green spot paper, AM Felt Thickers, Typewriter Letters from Willro&co Designs, little Tree badge from AM.


I am hoping to post a bit more regularly during December - just to share lots of Christmas love and joy.

Till next time.
