Songs that Make me Happy



I used the CI D-Mensions Blossoms and Piggy Tales Jack and Jill lines
that the AMM ladies sent
me for DT spotlight.



Here’s small version of the journaling:

1. Son of a Preacherman – my DH, his roommate, and I played this on
repeat non-stop (night and day) for over 5 months when I was in college

2. Something to Talk About – first week of college, my first set of
friends played this on continuous loop for a Freshman talent show and we
used this song to cheer us up all throughout college

3. Cinderella – This is a song from high school, always always cheers me
up. The journaling is about how hard it was to find the CD for it since
I had no idea who sang it.

4. The Wrong Way – DH and I listened to this over and over again,
driving from NYC to Boston, where our parents were to meet for the first
time

5. Making Love Out of Nothing At All – My favorite memory ever, a few
weeks after DH and I started dating, we were at the airport, returning
home for the holidays and I was on the plane, listening to this song,
looking out of the window, when I saw him at the terminal waving at me
(even though he couldn’t see me). He waved the whole time until my plane
pulled away.

Here are the rest of the pages:





Keyif



I love this wonderful paper. This is a shot of David relaxing and
enjoying his life. Keyif is a Turkish word for bliss. I used the Piggy
Tales Jack and Jill lines that the AMM ladies sent me for DT
spotlight.

Haircut



Really simple but I kind of love it. I used the Piggy Tales Jack and
Jill lines that the AMM
ladies sent me for DT spotlight.

Amore and Opapa



A wonderful photo I captured while my mom and dad were here and playing
with David. I used the CI D-Mensions Blossoms chipboard and Autumn
Leaves papers that the AMM
ladies sent me for DT spotlight.

Ornaments



Ornaments for David’s Christmases. I used the CI D-Mensions Blossoms
chipboard that the AMM
ladies sent me for DT spotlight.

Journal Your Christmas – Day 15 – Visitors



We prefer quiet and family time during the holidays.

Journal Your Christmas – Day 14 – Christmas Songs and Carols



This is all about how I learned about Christmas songs along with my
fifth grade students. The background is white felt.

Journal Your Christmas – Day 13 – Opening Presents



We open them in youngest to oldest order, one present at a time.

Journal Your Christmas – Day 12 – How Things Are Changing



Today’s prompt is all about past Christmases and how things change over
the years. For me, it’s all about how we now have our own Christmas time
and we celebrate it “just us.”

Journal Your Christmas – Day 11 – Our Tree



Since I’m Jewish and I bought all blue and white ornaments for our tree,
we now have a family joke that we have a Jewish Christmas Tree. I love
the blue and white lights and ornaments. It looks so pretty.

Journal Your Christmas – Day 10 – Wrapping Gifts



This year, I decided that maybe we should wrap plain and not waste more
paper. Maybe I am crazy?
