Christmas Journal — Day 3

Christmas Journal Day 3

I decided to go with a slightly goofy photo for the card itself, as well as using both the card and the really goofy picture for today’s journal.

The upper right text reads:

When the boys were little we sent out long letters with a full page of photos that looked back over an entire year. It’s been several years since we’ve sent out anything — no one (me) has been in the mood to mess with cards.

I took today’s journal prompt as the sign that it was time to send cards out again.

The lower left text reads:

Trying to get a serious picture of the boys is something of a challenge. I’m not even sure why I attempt it! The picture I chose (and this outtake) let’s their true personalities shine through.

There is still much to be done before the cards can be sent out — envelopes to order, address list to make, design approval (from Mark), stamps, to buy, and etc, but I feel good about having gotten this far already this year!

I added the chipboard letters to make the title at the very end of the process. It wasn’t until I was doing so that I realized the irony of the word itself, and the placement over the two “cards” that were making a funny face at the camera. Even when I’m not paying attention, I’m all about the cheap puns, don’t you know???

TTFN-

    You’ve done a great job with the three journal pages so far. Now I’ll have to make sure I get to see the rest. I’m trying not to think about Christmas too much. After all, we’ve still got heaps of time left, haven’t we?

    It makes me miss my boys – not twins but just 18 months apart in age. I’ll see Adam tomorrow and Chris will be here for Christmas but I like it best when we’re all together like we were just before Thanksgiving in GA.

    It also makes me kind of glad I had my kids at a young age! I don’t think I have the energy to keep up with 8 year old boys!
