Journal Your Christmas – Page 23 – Stockings



We don’t really do stockings. I never understood the tradition so much.
I sewed a little pocket and put my card in it.

Journal Your Christmas – Page 22 – Left to Do



I still haven’t made the ornaments I’ve been meaning to make for weeks.

Journal Your Christmas – Page 21 – Your House Now



The outside of our house as of 3am last night. I love the lights.

Journal Your Christmas – Page 20 – Unexpected



My pleasant surprise this year was how wonderful Jake was about the
holidays. He put up the lights, he took us tree shopping. He washed the
tree and did everything. He is wonderful.

Journal Your Christmas – Page 19 – Letter to Santa



Had fun with this one. Sewed a mesh and put my letter in it. Ho ho ho.

Journal Your Christmas – Page 18 – Dinner



Since I don’t cook, there will be no cooking for Christmas. At least not
by me.

Journal Your Christmas – Page 17 – The Perfect Gift



This prompt was about finding the perfect gift. I did all my shopping in
two hours and didn’t get to buy anything ideal for anyone.

Journal Your Christmas – Page 16 – Thankful



Thankful for so much this year.

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.
