Counting down...

...to the start of Journal your Christmas on 1st December!!

Journal your Christmas

I am really looking forward to this. My plan is to do a layout for each day, setting aside 40 minutes each day to journal about christmas in our house and to recall my memories of christmas gone by. I'm looking forward to taking photos of all aspects of christmas and hopefully capture the detail and magic, following Shimelle's daily prompts. For more information on this take a look at Shimelle's website right here

I've bought myself a new 8.5 X 11 American Crafts album and some new papers and embellies especially for this project. I'll post pictures and updates on here as I go along.

Journal Your Christmas

I have been doing a lot more scrapping lately and saw some info on UK Scrappers about Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas online course. I thought "that sounds fun, why not?!" Next thing I knew I'd signed up for it. As if I'm not busy enough at Christmas!! But then I suppose that's the appeal of it, to take a little bit of time each day throughout December just for me to reflect on Christmas, to journal and scrap about the day. As Hannah is 5 years old now, it really is a wonderful time of year for her and I would love to record that magic for us all to look back on when she's older!
