Sorry there's been a bit of a gap here again. I was ill last week, and the doctor said it hit me worse than it should because I was over-working myself and getting stressed. So I've been trying to take it easy this week. I'm not very good at relaxing, I like to be busy and multi-tasking all the time. This week I have actually sat and watched telly without blogging or crafting at the same time - shocker! Anyway, I think I'm now fully recovered and back on track.
Luckily I had prepared most of my Journal Your Christmas album before I was ill, so I've already been able to complete the first few entries. I haven't done a title or manifesto page yet, I'm hoping to get them done tomorrow or Monday. But I have managed pages for the 1st through to today (the 3rd):
They're quite simple, and not entirely co-ordinated. I'm trying not too worry about it too much - my aim for JYC this year is to get the story and photos down, (and use up a lot of old supplies), as I know I'll treasure it even if the pages aren't 'perfect' for my scrapping style. Then next year I can fuss over it more and get some new, more co-ordinated supplies to use!
I'm feeling in the festive spirit, as I had Christmas tunes on while I was putting these pages together, and I'm off out for a Christmas meal tonight with some friends. I'm looking forward to having a chance to chat, and let my hair down! Hope you are all having fun, festive weekends. x

Beautiful pages. I'm glad you're feeling better now xx
Lovely pages - I totally agree that it's better to have imperfect memories than nothing at all, but these are great!
I never worry too much about coordinating at Christmas - you should see our tree! We chuck everything on it! I'm glad to hear that you are back on your feet and fit for a few festivities
I'm loving the shape of your pages, i must try this size myself one year. You're right you'll love your JYC book no matter the style and supplies. I look back at my first JYC and although my style has changed greatly over the past four years I still totally love this book and the memories it holds.
Only just catching up, Jennifer, and hope you aee now fully recovered and able to make more lovely pages like these. :)
