Are you getting tired of JYC yet?

I spent the weekend at a crop that our church was hosting. What a great time. My goalwas to complete my JYC album. I am sure that your are thrilled to know that I am almost done. I have to get some more pictures developed, but otherwise all pages are complete. Now I can move on to Sarah's album. I really am hoping to get caught up with her stuff now. I have all of her 7th grade year cropped and the paper picked out. Will see what happens next.

Journal Your Christmas Again

I keep plugging away at this album. I am really looking forward to getting it finished. Hoping to finish next weekend while I am at an overnight crop.

More Journal Your Christmas

I am finally getting a chance to work some more on my Journal Your Christmas Album. Here are another 6 pages. I have really enjoyed doing this and can't wait to get the entire album finished.

Journal Your Christmas

While I kept up with the daily journaling for Journal Your Christmas, I am finally get a chance to complete my pages. Today, I was able to finish my cover page and the first 6 days of pages. 7 done only 31 left to go. Feel free to jump over to my family blog Flathers Family to read the journaling.

Date Stamps

Tonight, I took a break from decorating the tree to begin my JYC project. I created my date stamps for each page. I decided for my first year to go with something a little simple. I simply punched the 37 circles and 74 holly leaves. After putting the numbers on, I attached two holly leaves to each circle. I decided not to distress the edges as I am not sure what papers I will be using this year. I know some people are using the page maps to create their pages ahead of time, but since I don't know what I am doing, I will make my pages as I go along.

Journal Your Christmas

Last year while surfing some blogs, I came across one blog where the blogger had posted a page from her Christmas Journal. I really liked the idea and decided to ask the blogger about where she got her idea and her prompts. She referred me to Shimelle's blog. I chose not to sign up last year as it was already half way through the month of December and I felt that I was too far behind. I kept watching the sight and signed up once the post was up for this years class. I am really excited about doing this and hoping I can stay on top of things. Usually December is very busy, but since Sarah is in high school we have two fewer programs to attend for the month. I plan on posting my layouts to this site, so check back often, this may help keep me accountable.
