For a number of reasons, I’ve decided to call it good enough: I’m finished with my Christmas journal. Some of the ending prompts were leaving me a little cold, and I woke up ready to be done with this project. The decorations got put away yesterday, and I don’t want this project hanging [...]

I really was goign to go to bed, but my Christmas journal kept calling to me, and since these pages were done and I was still up, I thought I might as well go ahead and post them. I actually whipped out 3 pages this evening!
For those of you keeping track, yes, I’m jumping [...]

Most of the rest of my journal pages are going to be about the text — I wrote a lot when I was at my sister’s! When I copied and pasted the text, I found some typos. I’ve fixed my original, but the image below does have some misspellings. Joe was looking through the [...]

The 20th says:
Just a few weeks ago, I wouldn’t have believed that I would have a picture of my boys with their Smeigh cousins to put in my Christmas Journal. David’s phone call telling us that he and his family were coming — all the way from Tunisia! — to spend a few days at [...]

This is normally a Christmas Eve thing, but since my niece and nephew won’t be here then, we decided to give the kids their jammies tonight. They were playing Mouse Trap, and I tried to get some pictures, but mostly what I got were big blurs of silliness.
This one turned out pretty well:

First, I must report that my brother and his family did arrive safely right at supper time last night. We are having a lovely visit: the 4 cousins seem to have bonded pretty well, and the adults are having a nice time visiting and catching up. They went to visit Great-Grandma Humphrey today (plus my [...]

The little tag says “I’m a lucky girl, with a lot to be very thankful for.”
It is not the best picture of my husband, but I do not have very many pictures of him. If I take a better one of him sometime soon, I’ll replace it.
The lyrics along the side are from the song [...]

If you click the pictures, you’ll be taken to Flickr where you can see the credits for the pages. I’ve just realized that my text for Day 15 is running a little crooked (I had it crooked, and then straightened it back out, but obviously didn’t get it completely straight….)

Now I’m only going to be one day behind. Hopefully this weekend I can get caught back up, before the craziness of next week descends upon us. (It’s a good kind of crazy, but crazy nonetheless… 
We are headed to the movie theater to see Beowulf tonight.
TTFN-

The prompt was Christmas Past — to think and record more memories (there was more to it than that, Shimelle had a number of ideas and directions this could go). Based on the recent Santa related events, I decided this was the most appropriate thing for me to think about/document for this year.
