Today's prompt was advent calendars with the request to incorporate numbers onto your page to represent the countdown to the BIG DAY!! It took me a while to figure out words that would add up to 25 so that I could hide the numbers behind the letters. Santa Claus is coming to town! also has 25 if you count the exclamation mark... LOL - how sad am I???

JYC December 5th
Today's prompt was advent calendars with the request to incorporate numbers onto your page to represent the countdown to the BIG DAY!! It took me a while to figure out words that would add up to 25 so that I could hide the numbers behind the letters. Santa Claus is coming to town! also has 25 if you count the exclamation mark... LOL - how sad am I???
I am not sure I have finished with today, I may add some journalling and a photo to a tag to go with this... but the book is not looking any thinner... so maybe I should just leave this as a thin page!! ;)

Journal Your Christmas Album
Well, just in the nick of time... got my Journal ready for the first prompt on Monday and I am hoping that this year I am a little more prepared and ready for the off!! ;)
I have gone for a 12 x 9 album split through the middle to reduce the thickness.
And I have engineered the closures so that I can move the brads into different slots as it grows!! Who said I never learn from previous experience???
The actual pages are large pockets with a tag inside... so each pocket covers 4 days of prompts which should keep the whole thing under control and it will be easy to add extra tags for photos etc if I need the space.

Journal Your Christmas
So today is the day I am going to start making my album for this year's Journal Your Christmas with Shimelle. I have an idea that I hope will work - just need to transfer it to paper and chipboard - which is where leaky elbow syndrome sets in!! LOL You know... where the idea in your head sort of leaks out of your elbow before it hits the paper??? Last year the album became a bit unruly and morbidly obese but I love it anyway and this year with being in Saudi Arabia it will be a very different Christmas from the one at home in Scotland and to be able to compare the two in future years will be interesting.
I met some lovely people on last years journey and we managed to keep each other motivated to the finish line so I am looking forward to travelling with both old and new friends again this year.
