finally got to creating a few more pages for my "journal my christmas" class. did these 3 yesterday.

this was day #11 … to journal about your christmas tree. this year i actually used new ornaments. i had bought about 6 boxes of the glass balls … something we never have had. i got jewel-toned reds, greens, and pink. i put them on the tree … and then had every intention of adding in some of my more crafty-styled ornaments from the past years. but they never made it on … i like the tree simple like it is. this is making memories pattern paper, ribbon, line-art stickers, chipboard accent … rusty pickle tree sticker … and brads left from the christmas card kit.

day #14 … to journal about christmas music. i’m all about the more up-beat christmas songs. i have a small collection of christmas cd’s from over the years … but the ones i pull out the most are amy grant and harry connick jr. but this year i’ve been more into the disney stars music … i’m a sucker for their stuff (as i’m sure you’re all aware by now. lol!). making memories pattern paper and ribbon … rusty pickle sticker … and super old buttons from ek success.

and day #16 … to journal about a few things that you are thankful for this holiday season. just a few things i randomly jotted down. making memories pattern paper, trim, chipboard letters and accent, glitter stickers … and brads from the card kit again.

off to try and wake up a little. i had one of my kiddos show up this morning that i didn’t know was coming. lol! actually, it’s her normal day … but she had been away for the weekend and there was a mixup on what day she was coming back. i thought it was tomorrow … apparently it was today. yeah, i was totally asleep … and get a phone call that they’re waiting outside my door. lol! for some reason … this has really thrown me off today … i just can’t get going. but since i have 7 kids here … guess i better wake up!
