Journal Your Christmas--Week 2
I am so excited about my second week of work on Journal Your Christmas with Shimelle Laine. I am having a lot of fun, and trying to use each day to think about the holidays in a special and joyful way. This has been a bit of a challenging December, as my DH's family is facing some difficult health issues. This makes Christmas planning a little more challenging than usual.
I have stuck with my plan of using divided page protectors, and I am loving the small size. It is quite manageable and I am just doing the prompts that make sense to me this year. As this is my first year, this seems like a good approach.
Here is page 2:
I have our Christmas card, along with our Christmas letter (tucked inside). I journaled below all about our process for creating, choosing and mailing our cards. Did I mention that I LOVE Christmas cards???
This page includes responses to the prompts for days 3 (Christmas card), 7 (Christmas to-do list) and 9 (Christmas tradition).
One thing that I love is my hidden journaling. I cut an opening in the top of the pocket so that you can pull the hidden journaling out. Here is a picture:
Overall, I'm very happy with my progress! I can't wait to work on this more and share my progress. I will probably keep up this pace with about one full page each week. So, check back later this week!
