Day 5 was on topic, but for the 6th, rather than contrast two aspects of Christmas, I used the page to contrast with the previous one and think about Advent Calendars when I was small.
Vaguely back on prompt for the next two days with Day 7, documenting my geeky way of organising the family Christmas fund (well with £961, donated by 10 couples, to spend between 34 individuals, I need all the organisational tools I can get!) Day 8's sight of the season is a photo across a local field - that's not snow - it's frost - possibly rime, or hoar, or a combination!
Finally Day 9's subject is the increasingly "traditional" Christmas Market which seems to be creeping across from the continent. We visited these a lot when we lived in Holland and they are gaining in popularity over here now.
I may be failing to keep up; I may be failing to share my pages regularly; I am, however, having a great time creating quick and simple pages :o)
AND you are getting all your important Christmassy jobs done too, so I think that definitely counts as "keeping up"! I love your journaling about the advent calendars - in our thrifty house my mum used to iron down the doors again so we could use the same calendar the following year! Obviously she was not thrilled with the introduction of chocolate filled calendars..
ReplyDeleteWell the pages are looking fantastic so far, keep going - it's going to look wonderful when its done!

Love the common theme of the kraft paper with the colorful white/green/red patterned paper! It's a fabulous look I'll have to steal sometime. Also, I need to remember to use my corner rounder. It does add something quite trendy & fun to your pages! I'm also far behind ... would rather cruise blogs this morning than catch up on my JYC. I'm 4 days behind, now! ACK!
ReplyDeleteThe pages are so beautiful and clever! Remember, there is no 'keeping up' or 'falling behind' in this project :-)
