Sparkle & Jingle #1

I have missed blogland whilst I have been busy with the new store. I am going to jump back in and see how it goes. Thank you for still reading.

I am following along with Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas. I am not actively doing the prompts but using them as a guide to get me thinking and mainly recording the day to day.

I am also using it as the starting point for a Project Life boost. I have only scrapped the 'big' events for a few months and none of the detail that I really love. So, lots of journaling for PL and I am also making a mini book (just because I love them) with a quick pic and sentence.

I'll show you the mini book first. The kit is made up of Alison Kreft's It's Christmas collection, Studio Calico's Magical, Pink Paislee Luxe Collection.

Day 1. My lovely Christmas Jumper *sigh*.

Day 2. Craft Fair Frenzy.

Day 3. The boys were under there all that time. Doesn't Ali look charmed by the experience.


Untitled
Day 4. New mobile contract time.

Untitled
Day 5. A view of my neighbourhood that I have taken once a month this year.

Untitled
Day 6. I had a stall at a craft fair. DIS-AHSTER DAH-LING. Enjoyable though =)

Untitled
Day 7. Spent hours sorting out the new iPhone including speaking to America for a while.

Untitled
Day 8. A lovely day just crafting, I put the kit together and got it organised and spent all day working on it.


Untitled
Day 9. Homemade Cookies and Hot Choc. Like being bludgeoned by a sugar bag. I didn't hear any pleas for pudding after that lot.

Untitled
Day 10. We went to see Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire. As soon as the boys saw the camera they slunk down their chairs, as if the camera couldn't see them.

Untitled
Day 11. Ali's Christmas Show: Primary School Christmas Musical. A spoof.

Untitled
Day 12. Up to date now with some snaps of Louis in front of the tree from our annual "Mum makes us sit in front of the tree for ages to get some mediocre shots that look nothing like the ones on Pinterest"

Phew. Well done if you are still here. And you still have some bandwidth.
I'll show you the Project Life part tomorrow. Consider yourself warned.
