Well, I don't know what happened to the month of November, but it whooshed by amazingly fast. We had a nice visit from Todd's parents over Veterans' Day weekend, we had a terrific Thanksgiving with our friends Dawn and Dave Pullman, and I don't know what happened to the rest of the month!
Since it's December 1st, that means it's time for another year of Journal Your Christmas. This is a yearly class I take, along with hundreds of other people around the world, in order to make a journal or album about our Christmas season. This year--my sixth year!--I'm using an 8x8" chipboard album with page protectors of different sizes and shapes.
Here's the album cover. I ended up feeling very confused about what to do with a bare chipboard album. I don't like using paint (too messy), and covering it completely with paper (via Mod Podge) is something I never have luck with (and also messy.)
I ended up just making a decorated block to cover most of the front cover, and I'll probably just leave the rest plain. Oh, and I'll eventually make a title block for the spine.
The first of December is always a day where we look ahead and think about what we envision for our Christmas, the things we want to focus on. I'm starting with an 8x8 page today.

I love your journaled Christmases! I'm so glad you're doing it again. I think I'm doing a daily December blog post again...just need to find a template.
Your goals for this season are wonderful. I'm going to go right ahead and borrow a few for myself. (Get a kick out of the little things is my fave!)
Ooooh, lovely! What a great find.
I think I'm going to do a December album this year, for the first time. We shall see.
That's a wonderful idea! I like how you set goals for the holidays. Such a busy yet fun time of the year.
Blessings
Linda
