article: Day 1 - Preparation | written down

Hurrah – I’ve finally moved beyond just doing the journalling and choosing supplies to completing an entry. And only 9 days late!

Text says,

“In December 2006 I am going to complete a Christmas scrapbook. No really, I am. A whole scrapbook.

I participate daily in internet scrapbooking discussion forums (especially UKscrappers) but hardly ever do any actual scrapping. I’m hoping to be motivated to scrap more this month by Shimelle’s “Journal your Christmas” class, and to get back to good habits where I include lots of journalling on my layouts.

I’m a big fan of Christmas and hope through these pages to touch upon different aspects that make Christmas magic for me. As a Christian I’ve always had a focus on “the reason for the season”, and having a child makes it all the more special.

So let’s start the journey, as I reflect on the Christmas past, enjoy Christmas present and dream a little about Christmas future.”
