Journal Your Christmas - Dec 8

I am continuing on my December Journal but because this weekend has so many things going on (events I actually want to document), I have decided to step away from Shimelle's prompts and focuses for a few days.  (Although I have been reading them and archiving them for future!)

December 8th started off with a little time with just me and my sweet Piper.  She told me a funny thing she imagined with the nativity scene.  I grabbed my camera and took a picture as she described her Nativity Play and how all the ornaments wanted to audition for the role of the Virgin Mary.  Then she picked up a frog dressed like a little man, in a suit with a vest, and told me he was the director.

The page and frame were die cut.  I traced the photo and hand-cut it to fit.  

Later in the day, we carted her off to her grandparents' house, dolls in tow, to spend the night while my husband and I took care of a company banquet.

I usually have some sort of job involving a camera at these events and was so glad I did as a promoter played a practical joke on my husband.  Honestly, it was a lot of fun and everyone was in great spirits.

I created mini Polaroid look-alikes for this page.  The "oh my" text and date medallion were die cuts.

I really enjoyed doing these pages and they served as a fun little escape from the work of the day.  Thank you for checking out my blog post today.  As you can see, I haven't quite figured out how often I want to blog this journal, sometimes doing so every couple of days or more... or less!  I have been crafting them every morning religiously before I officially start my day and wake the household!  I may have a hard time ending....
