Having a birthday between Christmas and New Year's means you get a whole week of celebrating. Last night we met friends out at Applebee's about 9:30 PM, and so enjoyed ourselves with yummy appetizers and drinks. I hate getting older but celebrating is fun. Shimelle asked us to document our personal weaknesses for the holiday season today, and a challenge to use columns. I really wanted the color scheme for this entry to be green and red because it's only this time of year that I truly like these colors together, nevermind I just created a red and green dining room in my house (so I have an exception!)

Here I have worked ahead in my Christmas Journal . Today's entry: Reality Check. Tomorrow's entry: Stockings. Sunday's entry: left with space for journaling and photo to be finished on or after Christmas Eve.

I haven't had much internet access as my home office is undergoing it's makeover. Plus getting the house ready for the holiday! Hope you all are well and happy!!! Merry Christmas. :)

Most of the credits are the same - 100% digital. I will add in the credits on Tuesday. Take care.

Noell asked a great question so I'm posting my answer here for all to see. She asks:

Julie Ann, I'm curious about whether you already had the little products and embellishments that you're using, or if you went and purchased a bunch at the beginning when you started, or if you have gone back to the lss periodically throughout this project for things you wanted to put in the book.

(I'm curious about people's system for a project like this).

Also, who makes the book you're using?

Thanks!

My Christmas journal is 100% digital. I bought several kits and downloaded a bunch of free items that were offered by digital stores or on blogs (you can find out about most of them at www.digishoptalk.com)

The journal that I use is:
www.scrapgirls.com - Mandy Steward Life Journals

The main kits that I purchased were:
www.scrapgirls.com - A Joyful Season by Erica Hite
www.digichick.com - Holly Jolly collaberation kit
ww.elementalscraps.com - Pajamas 4 Love kit created for charity

Smaller kits that I purchased for this were:
www.digichick.com - Fee Jardine's Lil Christmas doodles
www.polkadotpotato.com - Faith True Christmas Word Art
Poppy Andrews - Jolly Bits kit
www.twopeasinabucket.com - Sande Krieger Season's Greetings

It is my first Christmas season since I started digital in the spring of 2006 so I really splurged!

I had skipped a page way back in the beginning so I am adding this page in. Then I have my entry for Day 21 : Last Minute Preparations. Happy Holidays!

Today's entry is about having to ship packages for Christmas. I have something being delivered to Ohio and a Buffalo Bills sweatshirt being delivered to my husband's nephew in California (I have never met this young man but I will meet him in February). I shamelessly snagged the antique map image off the internet. Credits include Erica Hite, Gina Cabrera, Jen Wilson, Katie Pertiet. Let me know if you need specific credit information.

Speaking of deliveries - I am stuck here at home waiting for a furniture delivery! For my home office I am getting from Office Depot the Christopher Lowell collection credenza, hutch and bookcase. Yes, I'm very excited!!!
