i'm LOVING shimelle's journal your christmas class...LOVING it...
i've got my journal, i've done each prompt so far (don't fall off of your chair, there's only been 2...lol)
i'm bound & determined to celebrate this christmas
each & every bit of it...
every last jingle bell & brandy alexander :)
here is my page from day 1...it is my "manifesto"...my intentions & desires for this exercise...
what a fabulous idea! just put it out there right up front...shoot for the stars...lay it on the line...
i'm using an altered vintage book a la kerry lynn yeary...it makes me happy b/c when i open it each day i get to think of my sweet, sweet friend...it is like having a bit of her california sunshine here in snowy new york with me...
& speaking of snow...we got 2 inches here this morning
& it is continuing through the night...geez that makes me even MORE excited for christmas...the kids are bouncing off the walls they can hardly contain themselves...i'm thinking we may have a snow day tomorrow with icy roads...we may just get our letters off to santa :)
& another thing that is super D duper cool is that i'm the guest designer at tarisota this month!!!
i did a jig when tamar asked me...i've admired her website & style & amazing team for so long...to be included this month really is such an honor for me....so i've been playing with the gorgeous berryluscious collection all weekend...SO wonderful
hope your weekend was wonderful too!!!
happy monday!!!!

Loving the start to your journal gigi! Going to try to do one also this year - and hoping I can keep up with it :)
Also had to laugh because I got a similiar picture of my three kiddos in the snow this weekend too - although mine don't look nearly as happy as yours.
