Well, it's Monday again, and the start of another week, and we are only twelve days away from Christmas!! Are you ready? I'm sure you have been asked that a million times already! I know I have. And the answer for me is NO, I am not ready. There are still a lot of things to get done... finish shopping, wrap gifts, buy stocking stuffers, make more holiday gifts, and finish mailing the rest of my Christmas cards. Yes, I still have some cards to mail. Oops! They are actually getting mailed out tomorrow though, so they should get everywhere they need to be in time!
I have some more JYC pages to share from over the past few days. These pages are from the 8th and the 9th of December.
On the 8th we discussed the signs of Christmas that we can see in our city, neighborhood, home and more. I decided that I would share the signs of Christmas in my home and others that I know. The pretty ornaments coming out and being put on the tree, the lighted and decorated tree, you know, all of the pretty stuff! I included a photo of my sisters Christmas tree and some shots of a couple of the ornaments on my tree. I used a circle punch to cut out the photos and mat them on some pretty patterned paper.
The 9th of the month was about our Holiday Traditions. On my page for this day I shared our tradition of making homemade ornaments with the kids each year. We try to make different kinds each year. Then we hang them on our tree and give some away as gifts or as part of the gift wrapping! Another tradition we have is our annual trip to Ohio to visit Keith's family during the holiday season. We generally wait until after Christmas and go closer to New Years. I can't wait for our trip this year!
Having grown up not celebrating Christmas I am loving creating new traditions with my own family over these years. It means so much to the kids and to see them happy means a lot to me!
On another note, I wanted to share with you that I just got a new job!!! I will be working for k. hall designs in the manufacturing/production department. Yes, I know, totally not a hotel, but this will be stress free, and I get to help add handmade touches to awesome products!!
Here is a link for a tour of this awesome place:
