WE HAVE SNOW!! OMG!!

I completed my 'Journal Your Christmas' last night and took a pic hence it looking a bit yellow LOL Hope you can still see it alright..





Just a very simple page. For those that know what I am on about, I made my manifesto in the form of a letter to my children.

Dear Logan and Emily,

This will be the second book I have made for you to record our christmas. Every year we make new traditions, visit festive places and ultimately try to make each Christmas as happy as possible.

I hope that one day you will look back through this book and see how much we love you.

The best thing about Christmas is you.

All our love
Mommy and Daddy

yeah just put in another vote for our lovely Mel from my work pc (where I am now so can't stay long!!)

Also wanted to say that we watched the film 'Christmas on Chestnut Street' as a family last night as it's now December so we can!!!

Todays advent activity is writing father Christmas letters then I can see if I need to get any last minute stocking fillers etc for the kids!

There has been so much to catch up on in the past few pages I have missed!

Big thanks to everyone for thinking about me and still continuing to find ways to vote. I don't know whether to be totally embarrassed or just bawl my eyes out. I have never had such lovely friends before. That makes me a saddo doesn't it.

I am trying to do Christmas Bingo but I don't get paid until friday. I shopped at tesco and Ebay but nothing has tracked which is slightly INFURIATING me. I will probably shop at Marks and Spencers this week and could do Asda too. I'm not sure where else yet.

:j Thankyou

mel that is so beautiful. I love the letter to your children.
do you just get the prompts or does anything come with it? I love seeing people's scrapbooking but wouldn't know where to start myself!

pinkladymel

I have been ahem emailing people about the prompts if you want to PM me your email addy? It is so easy and worthwhile. You can do it even if you just want to write in a nice christmas notepad every day.

You get a pointer and examples of everyones work, one a day so that you finish up with a record of your christmas. I look back at mine last year and I treasure it. Also, it has become one of my Christmas rituals that I look forward to.. Settling down each night to do it

Shevs

Finally cought up, Mel have voted for you twice and will vote from home computer too!!!! xxxxx

pinkladymel

SHEVVSSSSSSS... I have missed you where the hell have you been!! What you been up to my christmas elf.

hi there,
well days are just disappearing before my very eyes, no time for anything at the minute and hate missing any of your posts!! Work has gone frantic, i usually work 2 days a week for 2 weeks then 4 days a week for the other 2 weeks. Last week everything went mad, business doesnt want to turn orders away with the current climate so i've been asked to do almost full time this week and next. Well money will be very handy but mucking up my plans off being organised. Lists have gone to pot, each night im getting home and rushing around trying to do little jobs here and there. At work at mo but needed 'a post fix' getting withdrawal symptoms knowing everyone is chatting and im missing it!. Anyway later today i hope to pick up another pressie in town, post xmas cards, hopefully start to wrap a few more items,
plus a bit of general house work. Will try to post again later, coffee time x

pinkladymel

More money would always be good LOL Try not to get yourself too many jobs to do FindingMyFeet you sound so busy it has made me tired LOL Nice to see you pop on x
