So back in Dec 2017 I made my first attempt at Blogmas and despite struggling here and there I managed to do it. At the time I said never again, I had enjoyed it but it had been a little tedious and too much hard work at times. Fast forward to 2019 and here I am ready once again to give Blogmas another go although this time I will not be putting any pressure on myself to daily blog, instead I will post as and when I can or when I have something I want to share. In all honesty I had wanted to start on Dec 1st but being sick last week and having a busy weekend put an end to that. Anyway I am here now with my first post.....
Decemeber Daily
Another thing I said I wouldn't do again is a Christmas journal. I have started them so many times and apart from one year I never got past the first couple of days so they just ended up getting ripped apart and binned. As my creative mojo appears to have returned I decided to do one again this year but make it a little simpler by doing something along the lines of a Project Life journal. For this years December Daily I am using a Simple Stories Snap album and papers that I got from a online store called Craftie Charlie. In addition I will be adding bits and pieces from my stash to decorate and embellish my pages. I also have some ideas saved on my Pinterest that I am planning to try and use within the album. The pictures below show the album and some of the pages that I have made so far, and I have to say I am actually enjoying it. As well as daily pages/photos I also have some ideas to fill the album with details of our Christmas traditions etc.
As the days and month progress I will share some more pictures of my journal both on here and over on my Insta page (there is a link to that on the right hand side of this page). I would love to know if you do any thing like this at Christmas, leave me a comment below if you do.
Christmas Planning
Usually by this time in December I am one of the smug ones who is happily announcing to everyone that we are done and all the gifts are bought, wrapped and under the tree. This year its a totally different story in that we are nowhere near done, we still have a load of gifts to buy, nothing is wrapped and we haven't bought one single Christmas card let alone written any out. Thankfully we still have a few weekends until the big day so there is time to get it all done, in fact I am hoping that we can get a big chunk of it done this coming weekend.
How's your Christmas planning and shopping going? Are you all done or are you still running about trying to get everything organized?
