Time for another JYC pages share!! I love moments like this! Seriously, I do. :) Creating this album has been a fantastic project for me this month. It's quite fun making these mini layouts and expressing myself more with my journaling. I don't normally journal so extensively, but I have been for my JYC album.
These two pages are from the 10th and 11th of this month.
The 10th was about gift wrapping. Believe it or not, even though I am a crafter, I stink at wrapping gifts! I would be better off buying gift bags for everything. I did do that one year. However, I didn't like the way it looked, not to mention it is really hard to pack a Rondo full of gift bags. At least you can stack presents. For me it's the thought behind a hand wrapped gift that counts, regardless of how it turns out looking. Keith's mom is an expert gift wrapper. She can turn a gift into a piece of art. When we go to visit her for the holidays I'll be sure to take photos of the gifts she wraps. It looks like something out of a home decor magazine. Seriously. It's so awesome to look at, and when you get your gift, you don't even want to open it. I have saved some of her bows and ties over the years because they are so beautiful. I would love to be able to wrap gifts like that!
The 11th was about our Christmas Tree. We use an artificial tree. I would love to have a real one, but it just isn't a good idea at this point in our lives. We would probably kill it. I can picture it not getting watered and the cat getting electrocuted like in Christmas Vacation. Yikes! Not a pretty picture. We decorate the tree together and the kids put up all of their ornaments first, then they help Keith and I with the rest. The last ones that go on are the ones that belonged to my great-grandmother and grandparents. It's fun to tell the kids about them. They are handmade ornaments and super cute. I love our modge podge of ornaments and how it looks on the tree. It's fun and I love fun trees! Maybe one day we will have a themed tree, but while there are kids in the house, I'm not going to push the issue.
Well, only ten more days!!! Hope you had a wonderful day!!
