WOOHOO!!!

I did it! I actually finished my Christmas Journal, and within a month of Christmas no less! :) I'm fairly certain that if I hadn't had to go home to Ontario for 2 weeks over Christmas that I would have got this puppy done on time. Until the day I left I was completely on track with doing my one page a day. But, while I was away I made sure to do my journaling on the important days, and sketch out ideas for others. I would have finished earlier, but I was just waiting on getting back a couple photos from my sister's camera. Got those last night, and slapped my last couple pages together. So now, I present to you, my COMPLETED Christmas Journal!

I did my pages in all different sizes and mediums, and I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out. I feel like I could just flip through this thing for hours :) I'll share with you a couple of my favourite pages:




So there you have it! Christmas in an album :) I don't think i'll really scrap too many other Christmas photos now that I have this, maybe just a couple of Nate (cause he's too hard to resist!) And I'll DEFINITELY be doing this project again next year, and I highly recommend you all signing up along with me at Shimelle's site. You only have to sign up once and you can join in every year :)

I will leave you with something completely unrelated to Christmas... my 365 photo from yesterday:

Yes, that's right... it's a skeleton... from Hallowe'en! lol It sort of blends in with the window and I never notice it, so it's just stayed up since October! Oops! I felt I should document that before I took it down, which I swear I'm going to do today! lol

Happy Tuesday!
<3 Gillian

Love the Christmas album! Did you use Christmas cards? Genius if you did. I've been thinking of what I should do with those for years. I never throw them out. Thanks for the idea!

I'm taking bets that the skeleton will still be there when I get home in 3 weeks!

Happy you got your album finished - although I still have a few more Christmas pics to upload to Flickr!

good job on getting that Christmas journal done. I know after the fact I'm always so reluctant to just go back and get it done already.
