Wednesday Wishes

Challenges 2 December 2009 | 4 Comments

profile 3It’s Wednesday, and it’s only 23 days until Christmas!  Are you ready?  I have only one gift left to purchase, and a meal to plan.  Other then that, we are good to go at my house.  :)

I have a journaling prompt for you today.  For me, the hardest part of every layout is the journaling, and it really helps me if I think about things I want to record in my scrapbooks and write down some journaling ideas.  That way, I can make certain that I am recording the things that I feel are important.  To get you started, here are some ideas for your holiday layout journaling:

  • When you scrap the pictures of your family opening gifts, write about why you purchased that particular gift, or a story about how you found the perfect gift.
  • Ask your children (on Christmas day) to tell you which gift was their favorite and why, then take a photo of them with that gift and include their words along with the photo on a layout.
  • Take a photo of your decorations, and journal about which ornaments and decorations are special to you and why.
  • Journal about how Christmas decorations and other traditions make you feel, and why you love them.

Got other journaling ideas?  Leave me a comment and tell me about them!  I am always looking for new ideas.

Thanks for coming by!

  1. Excellent ideas, Alyssa. I love the suggestion of writing your child’s comments down on Christmas day. No time like the present.

    Oh, such good reminders! I need to hurry up and take a photo of our menorah collection on the counter. And I need to remember my CAMERA each night as well! Love the idea of asking my daughter about her favorite gift, even though I already know which one it will be! LOL!
