It's finished!!!! Yippee!!! not that I'm happy the holidays are almost over but I do love completing a project. Here are the last pages of my JOY book. I plan to take part again next year so made sure when i stopped in at CTM on Wednesday I got a good supply of my favourite Xmas themed papers from this year (I never buy enough and always want to use them again ) for my next JOY book.
DAY 25
the pages seem to have become all October Afternoon, maybe because I got a sneaky parcel delivered this week :) I used a sheet of acetate to hold the main pressy photos of Trav and Myself. a lush new Mayaroad scalloped envelope holds all our pressy tags (I keep them as I still write thank you notes).

I made a journal tag holder and attached a strip of CS down one side so the jump ring holes didn't catch on the tag. 
On this page I added a few photos of the day and the lovely friends we spent it with.
DAY 26
Normally this is the day I drive up North to see the folks, but this year Trav and I chilled out and watched films all day. I was feeling the polka dot love when I created this page and love the way the green and yellow look together!
DAY 27
This was my early start day! I love living on the IOW but hate the fact it's such a horrid drive when i want to go see old friends and family. I try and make the journey at least twice a year. One of my biggest treats on the journey is stopping at as many Starbucks as I can on the way and buying vanilla lattes! I love them and we don't have a SB on the Island :( I took Gracie-Lou and Stanley with me, as Stanley was going to meet my friend who has agreed to be his new mamma. Stanley has now been renamed Dave and will be moving out of the DC house in the New Year.
DAY 28
A day spent with Family! and my how my sisters family has grown in the last two years!! I've gone from having 2 nieces. To 2 nieces, 2 nephews (their husband and partner), 3 grt nephews and 1 grt niece (their four children). It was a lovely if somewhat noisy day :) The paper I used for this day was mostly CratePaper with some OA thrown in for good measure.
DAY 29
Total M25 hell! I started my journey that morning at about 8:30 and finally got the ferry port at 5.10pm, due to the fog the 3.30pm ferry still hadn't leave the port!!!!! thankfully someone was smiling on me and I managed to get a ferry home at 6.10pm :) I also managed to fit three Expedit units from IKEA Southampton into my tiny car and spend a few pennies at CTM before I left Cambridgeshire. So all in all it was a good trip!
DAY 30
a day spent working! I had to catch up today with my dog grooming. due to my clippers breaking before Xmas I had a few little hairy's booked in and wanted to get them sorted out before school started back. so today I Bertie, Basil, Maggie & Rufus booked in I also managed to give Dave (aka Stanley) a quick trim and tidy.
DAY 31
On this page I used to journal panels that i made on Word a few years back I like the way the whole year can been seen at a glance and have used these in all three of my JYC/JOY books so far.
DAY 32
Rather than making a long list of resolutions that i know I won't manage to keep I thought I would just make a few promises to myself about everyday things, such as time usage and being a good witch ;)
I hope you all have a brilliant 2011 and would like to thank you for reading my blog during 2010!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Your album has come together quite nicely. I quite like that pink snowflake paper. Is it October Afternoon?
Love your book!...I just finished mine today, so have just to get the last few pages uploaded xx
This is such a wonderful album! It's the sort of thing I'd love to be able to make, but never could in a million years. Absolutely inspiring and gorgeous.
