I'm really pleased with this album I think it's my favourite out of the three I've made, it's a great size and shape too so might do it the same next year!

CJ 11-18

Thanks for all your lovely comments from the SC Blog Hop and welcome to my new followers, thanks for following! :)

I have finally finished all my wedding invites so I've been slowing catching up on my Christmas Journal here's where I'm up to at the moment. Pages 11 to 18!

Day 11- We went and picked our tree and bought it home, here it is waiting to go in!

 Day 12- I went to help at school making Christmas cards then I finished off my handmade decoration of a Christmas pudding, which I must say made a lovely addiction to this years tree! I've already been asked to make some for my sister next year!

 Day 13- Went into Clifton to my sisters flat as they were meant to be having Christmas carols in the community gardens, we got all wrapped up only to find no one there!!! They did have a huge Christmas tree in there though, it was 50ft!!

 Day 14- we had a dusting of snow, shame it wasn't more!!

 Day15- This years Christmas tree all decorated!

 Day 16- I stayed over at my brothers as I had to look after my nephew for the day.

 Day 17- We went to the Tobacco Factory to see Cinderella, it was brilliant and so clever as there only 5 people in the cast!

 Day 18- Had a lovely Sunday lunch with family and then wrapped up the presents!

That's where I'm up to at the moment, quite a bit more to do!

I've also been doing a lot of crochet as I'm making a blanket for my nephew that was meant to be finished for Christmas!! It's looking great though! I'll be back with some photo of how it is looking!

Thanks for by by!
Back Soon! xx

Christmas Journal 2-10

As promised I'm back with some Christmas Journal pages it has taken me a while to photograph them as you have had so many grey days! Anyway here are page 2 to 10, hope you like it! Be warned there's lots of photos!

Day 2 - Warmth is about the warm weather we were having compared to last year when we had snow!

Day 3 - I was asked to do a Christmas fair at a play school with my Phoenix cards, there wasn't many people there so it was slow!

Day 4- Mince pies we made our first batch! 

 Day 5- I started making some Christmas cards for family and friends.

 Day 6- We went to the Christmas market in Bath, we go every year.

 Day 7- I went to watch my class that I help at school do their nativity it was brilliant! One of the boy drew this for it, how good is that cow?!!

 Day 8- my sister came around for the evening and we made her Christmas cards, 50 of them! They were all really easy just using punches, how lovely is my new MS snowflake punch?! I've always wanted one!!

 Day 9- I bought some new fairy lights, they are lovely!

 Day10- We took my nephew on the Santa Express steam train, it was great to see his little face light up when he saw the train!

That's it for now I don't want to over load you! I must admit I am behind with it as I've been mad busy with the wedding invites.

If I don't get chance to pop back in before, I would like to wish everyone of you lovely blog readers a very Merry Christmas! Have a good one!
Thanks for stopping by! xxx

Christmas Journal 2011!

I gone for a different size of Christmas Journal this year it's 5"x 8" and I've gone landscape too. I'm really enjoying it being different! I kind of run out of ideas for pages doing the last two all portrait!  Here's the front cover:

Here are some of the foundation pages, with some paint splatters! Different sized and shaped pages again, I love them different! This is a red envelope, never put an envelope in before but love it already!

I have only put one number in it as I knew what I would be doing for this date, the rest of the pages are number free so I can swap them around it I want to.

I've stamped on some of the pages too. this page as stamped snowflakes and the word believe!

 And finally the first page- Advent my little advent calender are these Reindeer Droppings, you taste surprisingly lovely! I have one dropping a day!

Hope you like it so far!
Back with more pages soon!
Thanks for stopping by. xx
