Yes, Christmas has been and gone, and I hope your day was very special for you all... What a gorgeous journal to put all your Christmas memories in. I hope the weather isn't too cold there, and I wish you a very happy new year for 2025 ❤❤❤
I know. It seems like the blink of an eye. The weather is very mild today. The day has been quite foggy. Happy New Year Chris. I hope 2025 is very good to you and Clare ❤️❤️
Again , beautiful, love hearing you talk about your mother and family, I love the idea of adding old photos to a current Christmas journal, I think I will add some of my memories of my mum and dad to my current Christmas journal 🩷💙
What a lovely journal you have crafted, I love all the fun interactive elements you've added to it. Christmas is probably the most difficult time of the year for me since my mother passed away in 1998. I try to stay positive and live in the moment with my children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren, but my mom was a huge part of my life and my children's lives, especially at Christmas, it just has not been the same since losing her. I have thought about making a memory book/journal all to do with her, her life, her legacy, to leave for my children, and seeing your journal just confirms that idea for me. So, thank you. I hope you had a very blessed and merry Christmas. Here's to pressing onward as we move into the new year. xx
Interactive elements add such joy. I know how you feel around Christmas. My mom was the same way. It’s important to stay positive but to take your moment as well when you need it. I think that’s great to create a memory book for you and others. Happy New Years and I hope 2025 brings you peace and joy ❤️❤️
Great journaling ideas!!! Love the pictures and the sweet stories. This is a great book to have full of sweet memories. Inspiring as usual. Have blessed rest of the year and an even more blessed new year.
Hi Mich, hope you have had a wonderful Christmas, I just love this journal and what a great idea with the cards. I keep meaning to mention the Custard cream cookies. When I saw them in Superstore I bought two packs, they are so yummy!! As I spent Christmas with the family they are coming here for New Years Day…I am looking forward to cooking for them, it has been hard since Bob has gone but we will have a good time I am sure we will reminisce of days gone by also about my Mum who passed on December 11th, 15 years ago & her birthday was Dec23rd. So it is a hard time of the year. Warmest wishes for the coming new year and hope that you get all that you hope for especially peace and kindness all around. Hugs to you and Chester 🥰🌷❤️🌺
It was great thanks Lynda. I’m glad you’re enjoying the journal. Yes I love the custard creams. The other thing I’ve started missing is Twiglets. I was craving a bag today. It will be nice having your family in. I know how hard it can be. All the best for 2025 ❤️❤️
@ Oh my Mich, I so love Twiglets as well, it is the Marmite taste…I am hoping to visit UK 🇬🇧 next year, it is just a thought at the moment but I will bring a couple of bags back with me & mail to you. Wishing you all the best in 2025 and look forward to viewing all your videos…you are so inspiring and of course I love to hear Chester when he puts his two pence worth in, take care & hugs to you both Happy New Year ❤️🎉🥳🥰🤗
Mich: I like the way you handled the oversized Christmas cards in your journal. The journal looks like it’s almost finished. You’re right about not even knowing the questions to ask your parents. However, your Father is still living. ASK the QUESTIONS now! Carol from California
Hi Mich, believe it or not Santa's village is still up and running. They have added a water park to it. I'm about 20 min. from there. This journal is just beautiful. Hugs and have a healthy blessed new year.
Wow. it’s really coming on Mich! Loving the ideas with the cards x Mine is finished and I have managed to write in it every day 1-25 but now find I have more to say!! I can write on other pages though so I’ll just date them!! ❤
Yes it’s getting there. If only there was 30 hours in a day. I’m not as dedicated as you are. I used to write everyday but now a days it’s less than that. I bet your journal is awesome. Yes you can always add a few tip ins. All the best to you and yours for the new year ❤️❤️
@@michcrafty8664Ha ha! I’m not in any way dedicated, this is the first time I’ve written in one I’ve made 😂 I’ve just got back from London (16:55) seeing the Nutcracker at the Royal Albert Hall, it was amazing!! (wish I could post a picture here)!! And guess what has arrived?? Your lovely folio!! I absolutely love it, thank you so much, it will definitely have pride of place in my journal. I was so excited opening it and seeing all the little tickets and ephemera, just so gorgeous ❤ Thank you again, I’m over the moon with it ❤
Your Christmas journal is lovely. Will you do a flip through after Christmas. I'm seeing this video on Dec 28th so i hope you had a wonderful Christmas.🎄
Yes, Christmas has been and gone, and I hope your day was very special for you all...
