Christmas Journal 2013

I'm so excited to start working on our Christmas journal for 2013. I took some time yesterday to pull out all of my Christmas related scrapbooking supplies.  I ordered a few new things and pooled them all together.  I'm thinking I may try to divide the supplies up by color and style. This would be ideal for going back through the years and putting together an album for each Christmas season. I would love to see all of those memories gathered together in a way that makes it fun to pull out each year and remember what we've done years past. I love traditions and memories we've created together. I am also looking forward to making new traditions and memories as my family grows and our lives change. 

Here are a few pictures I took of the supplies I sorted yesterday.

Embellishments, washi tape, Rhine stones, ribbon, brads and pictures from an album I need to finish. 

Letter stickers, tools, 3x4 and 4x6 cards, more stickers and large 12x12 patterned paper. 

Christmas journals, more stickers and a large metal container that I spray painted and used to hold all of the supplies when I needed to set Christmas aside and work on Project Life. I think I may repaint it as I'm not loving the pink color. 

After I sort through all of my supplies, I will post what I'm planning to use for our Christmas Journal 2013. I would call it December Daily because that's where the idea came from but it's not just December that ends up in our journal. I often start with decorating which happens in November and preplanning, Black Friday shopping and craziness.  I'm also going to be journaling past the 25th of December so I won't use 25 Days of December either. When I started this in 2008, I just called the album our Christmas Journal.  I guess I'll stick with that unless I come up with something more fitting. 

Post links to your albums in the comments, if you'd like.  I'd LOVE to follow and see inspiration and what your family is doing/enjoying this Christmas season.   I also love to see what traditions other families share.
