too tired from my "unpacking, sorting, and putting away" activities today to talk much … so i’ll just share some more of my journal pages with you. i did update the last 4 pages with better photos. i ended up doing my title page and 7 more pages all from start to finish on monday … not too bad, right?

this is my title page for the journal. this is one big chipboard word! keep in mind these are all 8×8 pages … so this awesome "joy" word from making memories was a perfect fit … plus, i adhered it using pop-dots so it’s extra bulky! and i love the little sticker on the bottom that says "created by the head elf"! lol! making memories flocked paper, rubons, chipboard word, ribbon, metal tree … 7 gypsies sticker … circle sticker from the CK card kit.

day #9 … to journal about some of your family traditions. i really couldn’t think of many … is that bad? need to make more traditions next year! making memories pattern paper, ribbon, stickers, line art stickers, chipboard accent, glitter brad … 7 gypsies sticker … heidi swapp chipboard letters.

day #13 … to journal about gifts … how they get from under the tree to the person they’re meant for. and tell me we’re not the only family that uses a laundry basket in the center of all the craziness to catch all the wrapping paper? lol! making memories pattern paper, stickers, line art stickers, chipboard accents, ribbon, chipboard letters … and one little 7 gypsies sticker at the bottom.

i have one more … but apparently i forgot to get a picture of it. i don’t think it really matters … but i’m trying to keep this all in order. but since i’m not working in order i keep getting confused. lol! i pull pages out and then add them back in … double checking over and over to see if i got them in the right order. maybe numbering them would have helped. lol! the other one i had done was the "menu" page … what we all ate on the big day. so i’ll add that in the next time!

as of today … i’m 10 days behind. and i believe we still have 10 to go if i’m counting right. it’s actually through the first week in january. my album is already super thick … so hoping i can fit in 20 more pages. and i’m beginning to worry that i may not have enough pattern paper to finish … really trying to use all my scraps. i may have to track down a few more sheets to finish!
