Today's prompt, naturally, was all about resolutions ... I'm keeping them so far :D Searching out the Christmas waistcoat photos from my Sunday Storytelling gave me the ideal picture for "Innocence" for Day 2.
I found a half-used (?) Thank You note left around after a trip to the post box today - perfect for today's page. Day 35 in the Christmas House was about Reminders: mine for next year from this Christmas are basically to get organised in November so that December is less fraught!
Depending on your point of view the 5th, or possibly the 6th is the final day for taking down the Christmas decorations ... neither would do for us as we were celebrating our eldest's forthcoming birthday before he returned to university and a) we did't have time to pack them away and b) I didn't want the house to look bare! This last page also earned me some team points for the last week's challenge over on UKS, not the full set, because I couldn't use any new stash on the page - this whole project has been so cheap to make with zero embellishments and it has made a dent in my Christmas papers too.
I have to admit that I did start de-decorating once everyone had gone home and we'd tidied away the buffet and bottles; I managed quite a lot before midnight ... superstitious .. me?
Congratulations on making it to the end of the album! The 'now' and 'then' photo of them all sitting together is a lovely touch. Hurrah also for thank-you letters - keep the flag flying!
ReplyDeletewell done on making it to the end, I have a long way to go. Great pages there love the photo of the cousins
ReplyDeleteFantastic stuff Jemma! I bet it feels great having the whole thing put together - I've done my pages but I haven't bought an album for them to into yet
ReplyDeleteLove the photo from the 2nd, priceless :)
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel, I'm looking forward to getting back to 12x12s again.... although I do have some Christmas pages to do :D
That last page with all the children is great especially as you got them to sit in the same way with the two on the ends sitting on laps.
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting all the decs down by the end of 12th night too.
These are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed looking at your album...and I know what you mean-I loved my JYC (which I've just finished today!) but am ready to move on to other things now.
