Day Three
Well today I turned my attentions to Christmas Cards and the fact that I am so unprepared in this department. Normally I would make my own but time is running out...I have a recovery period coming up following my surgery so maybe then will be more fruitful in the cards dept...The added pressure of friends and loved ones expecting handmade cards...after all I am a crafter, just makes it more important to crack on...I feel a production line coming on. xxx

Journal Day two
Oh the weather outside is frightful......so much so I'm not in work..Snow stops play as they say..Its awful to think the slightest change in weather has such dramatic effects on our daily lives...Ive enjoyed my day crafting quietly and reflecting on christmas past...2004 to be precise when on christmas night we had a little floury of snow.. just enough to remind us of the magic of Christmas.

Glorious Snow
What a wonderful image greeted us this morning.. a beautiful blanket of snow.The children were thrilled at the prospect of snowball fights and snowmen in the garden, it recently occurred to me how few snowy pictures I have of the children in the snow.I think we get a bad press in England as people who don't live here think it snows all the time..when actually we receive very little snow fall.
So camera in hand and wellies at the ready we headed into the front garden for an impromptu picture shoot.

Journal Day one..

My head is filled with lots of creative ideas and a rosy glow slowly warming me to the upcoming festivities ..I can hardly wait to revisit the lovely childish feelings and cosy family times to come. xxxxI am truly blessed.*

December the first.... and so the journal begins....
Journal my Christmas because..?? I want to find time in my hectic life to do something I love just for me...
To try to make sense of this festive time and teach my children to appreciate what it really means by re-visiting my own beliefs and values around this wondrous season.
To think more deeply about how it all makes me feel and remember Christmas past and dreams for Christmas's to come.
But most of all to document and savor my wonderful family memories... I can't wait to begin......oh, it seems I have.xxx

Hurray we are in December... where did the year go.....
