Sarah and Adam were here for just one night before flying out to the west coast to visit Adam’s family. It wasn’t long enough!! The last time we saw them was in July–and yes, they will be back in a week to celebrate Christmas with us, for which I am truly grateful.
Tracy and I managed to finish five kinds of cookies today in a baking marathon. Tomorrow we’ll be frosting sugar cookies and gingerbread teddy bears. There are still several varieties to go, but the time-consuming ones are out of the way.
I took a break this afternoon and finished two pages for the Christmas journal and did another two tonight, so I am caught up until tomorrow. I still have to do my title page and I finally decided on how I wanted to decorate the cover of the album. Perhaps tomorrow . . .
Day 13–used an old photograph from 1994 on this page of Matthew and his Aunt Susan.
Having a stash of supplies is a good thing. None of the Basic Grey papers really worked for this page and I have no photographs, but in my patterned paper stash was this 7Gypsy paper–just perfect.
Another page where the stash came in handy. I love these 7Gypsy’s stickers. This was supposed to be the prompt for Day 16, but I mixed them up. No one except the members of the journal class will ever know.
This page was a lot of fun. When I first read the prompt, I thought “We have no visitors at Christmas.” And then Dawg arrived.
How cute! Love that you have a fish visiting!!!
Love your pages – and love that you have a little fish as company too!
Karen, I really enjoyed looking at your pages, your style is so elegant clean and simple (my favourite), your Christmas journal is going to be a real family treasure!
Really like the coordinating clean look of your pages. Lovely.
