I hope you all had a lovely holiday!
We did :o)
I might even go to detail one of these days, but with the kids home and even DH off work this week (it's his birthday today!) my computer time is limited.
I will share this photo from Christmas Eve. Not your typical Christmas photo, but one of my favorite things.
This is a shot taken at the biggest graveyard in Helsinki at 8.30pm on Christmas Eve. The tradition here is to take candles to your loved ones graves at Christmas, it is an ocean of flickering candles where ever you look. I only wish I had taken my tripod along... this shaky shot was taken leaning to a tree and holding my breath LOL! I've fallen behind on my journal again, not surprisingly though. But here are days 21-25.
Photos of my home that day. And yes... we were not supposed to use red and green...but ROFL... call me a rebel.
My to-do list that day. I only missed one thing then....and that was ironing...
Our stockings, not part of Finnish Christmas, we adopted them during our years in Michigan. We also adapted the tradition to fit, ours are dug into already the morning of Christmas Eve.
The big day for us. Family, food and gifts galore.
Christmas Day for us is lazing around and playing with our new toys :o)And if you haven't figured out my format... the same square and rectangle shapes, white journaling around the edges, ribbon tab and a transparency on every page. And sticking to a color group.
Love your Christmas journal, Sus! :) Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuski, you best answer my questions woman or i'll be forced to stalk you:
ReplyDeleteOne, what exactly IS a Christmas journal? Purpose? I've never heard of this is all. It's gorgeous beyond belief.
Two: why can't you use red and green? I think I missed something.
Please, help those of us who are less fortunate in the brain dept.
Enjoy your blog so much!
Happy Bday Mika!! (Paljon onne avaan...)
