Journaling Reads:
In 2007, I took Shimelle’s class on making a Christmas minibook. That 31-day course was the first time I created a book focused on the season. The next year, I discovered Ali’s December Daily and I was immediately in love.
Since then, I haven’t missed a year and each year I prepare my book earlier and earlier in anticipation of all the wonderful memories and excursions and family time we plan during the holiday season.
This book has become my favorite project of the year. It’s my way to capture my artistic width and depth and for me to capture the way we’re living our lives right now and for me to take a moment every single day to remember how grateful I am for my life. For our life.
These books are among some of my most cherished items in my life. We regularly look through them and talk about the memories. It’s a minibook that always sits on my mantle. This is not just another scrapping project, it’s a way for me to enjoy Christmas while it’s happening and it heightens my awareness.
I totally cannot wait to see your album!!!!
I was all enthusiastic last year, got my MM felt album and began, December rushed past and I have 8 days done and absolutely no inspiration to finish it.
Do you use Shimelle’s prompts to know what to make your pages about on the day, or do you see what happens on the day and take it from there?
I have got Ali’s templates and overlays this year and reckon I’ll digi it all. The week in the life was finished one Sunday morning and I reckon I can get the December thing done weekly as well.
Trust it isn’t weakly?
Hope you’re feeling better?
Me too!!!
