How are you getting on with recording your Christmas memories this year? I am really enjoying documenting my December with
Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas and as always we started out with our manifesto.
So many people are having a hard time this year and with our recent fundraising for the Philippines and accidents and illnesses in the family, it didn't seem the year for poetic phrases about sugar plum fairies and sparkles of joy. That's not to say I'm not hoping for magic because I am, very much so. This could well be the last year that my son especially believes and so recording it and trying to make it as magical and special as possible is still right up there, but with an understanding about others less fortunate, more so than ever before.
As well as setting out my intentions for this season, this page also sets out my intentions for my colour scheme and embellishments. You can see the splashes of gold from the Studio Calico stars and polka dot vellum from Shimelle's Christmas kit and the Studio Calico veneer stars and Bundled Up papers from
S J Crafts.
This page is the reverse of the double page that I shared in the previous post because I loved the pink snowflake paper so much that I couldn't bear to hide it! Ahhh... pretty paper... it's definitely my kryptonite!
Bye for now

I love your manifesto and I love the page. I'm nearly 42 and I still believe in the magic of Christmas so your son might believe for a few more years yet...or he might be a normal, sane person unlike me :) xx
