Its That Time of Year Again...

And I am sooo excited! What time of year, you ask? It's time for Shimelle's Christmas Journal! I finished last year and had so much fun doing it. This year, I am going to go with a completely different look and size. Last year my journal was approximately 5"x7 1/2", if I recall correctly. I am considering doing 6"x12". I haven't worked with that size before and it seems like it would be fun to do that. The daily prompts start Dec. 1st. Join us!

We've started getting into the holiday spirit at our house. I took Lisa Damrosch's Make it Merry class at
Big Picture Scrapbooking and our first project was to make a holiday planner. Lots of fun. Now I am slightly more organized... I just need to actually start planning! Emilie and I are working on week 3's project which is a countdown calendar. It's great fun to have a little one to work on Christmas crafts with because she really enjoys it.

Another project we have started is Tia Bennett's Button Tree. Thanks to Ali Edwards for posting this project. Love it and very simple to do. Emilie is 7 so project is very easy for her. We are waiting for more buttons so that we can finish. We actually bought 3 styrofoam trees and weren't able to finish one! I thought I had so many buttons that we could do all 3 but apparently not.

Tis the season for crafting!
