Poor Neglected Blog Again!!!

I can't believe I haven't posted since December 2nd!! I wasn't able to keep up day to day with my Christmas journal but I only have about 7 days left to complete for it to be finished. I post some pics once it's done.

I did so many Christmas gift projects that I am really behind again! I did do some Valentine's Day projects for the Memory Bounch Design Team. I'm excited about having Valentine's decorations now!

Here is a altered paint can that I punched holes along the bottom of...i put in a couple of flameless tea lights inside.

Journal Your Christmas Day 2

I love the first real snow of the season. Looking out the frosty window to see a thick layer of snow covering everything in site. The tree branches struggling to hold the weight of the freshly fallen snow. Christmas lights glistening off of the snow mesmerize me.

Jackson seems to love snow as much as I do and we went outside today to play. We built Jackson's first snowman and he was so excited about trying to create all the important parts. The snow was perfect for snowman building. I snapped such a cute pic of Jackson looking lovingly at his first snowman.

Journal Your Christmas

I read about this wonderful online class of sorts called "Journal Your Christmas" on Jen G's blog and I signed up for it right away. Christmas is my very favorite time of year and I love the idea of doing a special journal for Christmas each year. The first prompt today was about writing a manifesto for our journals. I'm going to jot some stuff down here on my blog and transfer it to my journal once I get my supplies all together.

My Christmas Promise
Christmas is my very favorite time of year and I absolutely love everything about it. I actually get depressed when the holidays are over because everything seems so bare and quiet. I want Christmas to be a special time for Jackson and I want to document all those little things about Christmas that I think I will remember but know I won't. I promise to write a little something about his magical holiday each day and to combine my love of photography and scrapbooking to create a journal to house all the memories. I am so very excited about this!

Get Inspried Expo 2008

I attended the Get Inspired Expo this past Saturday and had the pleasure of scrapping with some really cool scrappy gals! Brandy had a class with THE cutest mini album which I cannot wait to put pics in and finish. I didn't get as much done as I had hoped but had such a fun time! I cannot wait for next year!

Here are the layouts that I did on Saturday. As always I still need to do my journaling. :)
