Christmas Album - final pages

I have to say, this year doing December Daily/ Journal Your Christmas has been thoroughly enjoyable. Things that I found worked for me:

• having the base of the album ready to go before Dec. was extremely helpful (thanks Nadine!!). For me this is an absolute MUST and I will be doing the same next year. 
• Organizing all my Christmas supplies and having them close at hand - my table was a disaster - but at least I knew where everything was!
• I wasn't able to get at my pages every night, but I found I was not stressed. At the end of the evening I took a few minutes to keep a running list of each day and what I wanted to record. I did not always follow the JYC prompts, a lot of my documenting was on things that happened that day, which is more like the December Daily. For the days that I did not have anything happening, I looked at Shimelle's journaling and photos prompts to pull some ideas.
• I also think it helped to know what to expect, after doing JYC last year. 
• Purchasing Ali's December Daily templates, December Monthly overlays and her Holiday Word Art  made a difference in managing my time as well as keeping the design consistent. Although, I do like the look of the typed journaling, I still think writing things out takes less time. This is something I will consider next year.
• This year I had my photo printer and that was extremely helpful and convenient.

With that I will share the final days of my album...

 I love how chunky and textured the album turned out and that the pages are not all the same size. Here is a couple of shots of the finished album.

I know JYC goes on for another week or so, perhaps one year I will carry on past Dec. 26th, but for now I am happy with having it completed :)
Thanks for having a look :)
