wow … 2 posts in one day. shows you what i can get done when spending a holiday by myself. lol! so today is the 24th … and i’ve done 9 pages … which means i was now 15 days behind in my christmas journal. lol! you should see my desk right now … covered with pages in the works. i have 4 that are totally done and wanted to share them … but bare with me because by the time i got them journaled i had lost my good lighting for taking pics! i will re-take them hopefully wednesday and then replace them here … these are so blurry and bad.

edited to add: new pictures added … not quite so blurry as before. lol!

day #15 … to journal about who you visit or who visits you on the holiday. most of our years are the same … same people, same relatives, same places. so this basically sums up our schedule. super simple … in fact, i feel like i need to add something. making memories pattern paper and chipboard stickers … heidi swapp plastic letters.

day #17 … to journal about a gift that you had got for someone … one of those "i saw this and totally thought of you" type gifts. doesn’t happen often for me to be honest. lol! i decided to do one of the gifts i got for sarah. first time i saw these "webkinz" i thought they’d be perfect for her. although to be totally honest … i just went and got her 2 of these this morning. lol! making memories pattern paper, tags, metal snowflakes, brads … heidi swapp chipboard letters … and autumn leaves rubons.

day #22 … to journal our "to-do" list. i know, i know … my list doesn’t look that long, right? lol! i just couldn’t think of anything … although i’m sure there is more that i’m just too scattered to keep track of. making memories pattern paper, ribbon, line art stickers … heidi swapp chipboard letters … and buttons from my stash.

day #23 … to journal about our stockings. our stockings are old … and i don’t love them at all. is that bad? i want new stockings every year … just never look for any. i did see some on clearance last night at michaels … but didn’t get them. maybe i should have … they were simple and the perfect color. oh well. we never hang up our stockings until christmas eve … so they’re really only up there for one night. just too hard with the little kiddos running around … they would totally yank them down anyways. making memories pattern paper, trim, snowflake stickers, ribbon … heidi swapp plastic letters … 7 gypsies stickers … and daisy d’s tag.

hopeing to get a few more pages done tonight. would be fun to bring this album tomorrow and show the family. i never did do the album cover. i used a 8×8 album i had laying around … it’s super thick and can hold a ton of pages. i was thinking that i’ll add in all the cards we got this year … and maybe even do a few layouts with the pictures we take tomorrow. would be fun to have the entire christmas in one super thick album!
