since my minds works better in totally random thoughts … why not do my "journal my christmas" pages in random days, right?!?! lol! i’m not going to think of how behind i am … just glad i have 3 more done. definately going to do some more this weekend though … because i truely love the idea of this journal the more i think about it. love getting all that christmas goodness down in writing … so that my girls can look back and remember just how we celebrated!

first up, day 5 … journaling about how we count down the days until christmas. i thought about taking a picture of the advent project i made this year … but i like the way this album has no pictures so far. lol! makes it easier somehow. making memories pattern paper, metal snowflakes, and glitter brads … american crafts chipboard numbers … and a rusty pickle sticker.

day 7 … journaling about our quest to finish the christmas shopping. i have to say … my journaling on these 2 tags went in so many different directions. a few times i wasn’t even sure what i was supposed to be journaling about. lol! so basically, one tag is about my procrastination on my shopping no matter what my intentions are. and the other tag is about what the girls are getting this year … not showing that whole tag just on the off chance they stumble upon this post. lol! making memories pattern paper, stickers, brad, ribbon … scenic route chipboard letters … 7 gypsies stickers … and the polka-dot tag was from some daisy d’s paper.

and day 10 … to make a page using some of the wrappings you intend on using this christmas. the idea was to use a piece of your wrapping paper and add a to/from tag. i figured this paper went good with the colors i’m using in this album … and the chipboard tag is actually from the christmas card kit i used this year (it came with all these tags that i’ll use instead of the normal tiny sticker labels i use). just added a few heidi swapp chipboard letters … some making memories rubons … and my journaling.

so now i’ve done 6 days … only 8 behind now. lol! more random updates to come later … have to get back to the kiddos now!
