Finally got started on Shimelle's christmas journal this is the altered album I used basic grey romany papers for the front with gold ribbons.

I have not posted or started my Christmas journal yet as 1st Dec started off badly for us as we got news that my father in law got his leg amputated due an infection which upset the kids, the tree didn't go up until yesterday.

This is the before picture of my Christmas journal, I am going to alter it.

I need to get started on my Christmas journal but I am still waiting for the papers to arrive from one of the UKS sponsors, I ordered them last week and they are still not here yet. I am loving everyones entried in wrttendown.

Its December the 1st and the first day of Shimelle's class! I am so looking forward to getting stuck into my Christmas journal.

First I have to get the christmas tree up this afternoon the kids are excited about it! It kick starts with Cliff Richard "We should be together" playing as soon as they come in from school... I am more excited this year somehow thinking of photos to snap and pages to do for my Christmas Journal.

I also have reached a stumbling block I am not sure how to cover my post bound album for this journal, I will have a wee play this morning see if it is possible to cover it before going back to the drawing board.
