Journal Your Christmas - the completed album

My Christmas Journal is complete.....starting at the end of  November and finishing at New Year......and with minimal embellishing......it hasn't ended up too fat this year [or should that be last year??].

 All put together with rings.......and finished off with some fibres and ribbons.

I have loved doing JYC this [last!] year.....more than in previous years......and I think the reasons for this are
1. Making the basics of all the pages in November made it so much easier to complete each page in
    December. The entire preparation took me about 2 hours.......I could easily have spent that amount
    of time faffing around choosing supplies each day!!!!
2. Using one set of supplies.....Simple Stories christmas pad.......meant everything co-ordinated and
    it was easy to find a small selection of matching embellishments. I ended up using very few
    extra embellishments as there were plenty of useful bits left in the pad to add to pages.
3. All the above meant that each page only took about half an hour on average to complete in
     December.......time I could easily find.......so no stressing!!
4. This December I had far more than usual going on......this meant I hardly used Shimelle's
    prompts.....even though I read them each day.......if I had less going on another year......I'd just
     refer to the prompts more.
5. Deciding not to number the pages made it much easier......many of them didn't have to be done in
     any particular order.......and I liked just dating those that did occur on a set date.
6. The size worked really well.......7 x 7 using  6 x 6 papers.....small enough to complete the page
     quickly........but large enough for more than one photo when I wanted.

I'll definately be doing it this way again next [this] year........thank you all so much for all the lovely comments that have been left throughout my postings.......and I've really enjoyed looking at all your JYC postings as well.
