Manifesto - the page!

This is my manifesto translated into an actual page. I also completed my numbers for the pages this afternoon, although my nose is still a bit yucky! I decided on red circles with drawn on 'stitching', topped with a 'present' made of white paper squares and ribbon. The numbers were die cut using my Sizzix.

Journal Your Christmas - Front page

So, this is the front page of my Journal - I mainly used acrylic paint and chipboard but I also added decorative snow which I've had in my stash for ages lol!

Journal Your Christmas - my manifesto

Wow....September 2008....I didn't realise it had been that long!

So, in my last post I mentioned how we had booked our Disney wedding- and here we are, December 1st 2009, and we've been married for 3 and a half months.

- this is something that I've wanted to do for a couple of years but have never got round to signing up for. Our first prompt is to write our manifesto. As I am currently typing in bed on my work laptop, having sent in my cover work, feeling sorry formyself, I figured I would state it on my blog:


We'll start at the very beginning...it's a very good place to start! So why am I doing this? Because I'm mad? Because I finally have my mojo back? Because I want to make this Christmas special? To be honest, it's probably a combination of all these things. Over the last few years, December blurs into a tiring mess of work and social life, with very little "me" time inbetween. So this year, I promise myself at least 20 mintues a day to concentrate on my project. I also want to document my first Christmas as a married woman - how many more Christmasses will we spend as just the two of us before kids come along? But that's a question for another day. For now...on with the show!
