It's that time again...it's January, and time to post my December
Daily album. Now honestly there are a few little touches I need to add
but for all intent and purposes it is complete. I am still waiting on a
photo of Jeremy from his birthday....I wasn't there for that and this
weekend is HB Costco's Holiday party so I am going to have a few photos
from there that I am going to include as well but rather than keep you
in suspense until I finsh I decided I would post the album now.
This
year I learned that each and every December Daily album I have done
(and I have done 5 of them now) seems to take on a life of it's own.
When I start creating I am not quite sure how it will all turn out in
the end. I started with Teresa Collins Countdown to Christmas kit this year and added some of her Christmas Cottage line as well older papers from my stash and went from there. So I highly recommend you read this post when you have some time. Sit back with something warm to drink, relax, because, this year my album is huge. =D
Some years I stop with
December 25th other years I have gone on til the end of the year and
this year I went clear through the 12 days of Christmas and finished up
on January 6th. My projects just seem to get bigger and bigger. This
years album required 2 inch binder rings and is over 60 pages! (GASP) I used
many of Shimelle Laine's journaling prompts for my entries as well as my
own ideas for stories that I wanted to tell. It truly has become a
labor of love. With me working in retail, (aka Costco) it is easy to
loose sight of what is really important during the holiday season. As
crazy as this sounds, creating this journal at this insanely busy time
of year helps me stay focused on what is important and what I do want to
remember about the season. Thank you Shimelle for all your hard work on
JYC....your prompts are amazing and they truly helped me to do just
that, Journal MY Christmas.
