Let's Journal 2008

Do you keep a diary?  Do you wish you scrapbooked the moments more, rather than the events?  Do you get your photos printed weeks or even months after the event only to realise that you can't remember the details of the day?  Well that's me and that is why we are running a "Slice of Life" Journal class.  Keep a visual diary of your day-to-day life for a little while and not only do you have a tool you can use as a memory prompt for your album pages but you also have a mini album in itself that will be cherished for years to come.

Run over Jan and Feb don't miss out on this class - ring and book now to secure your spot and have a kit ready and waiting for you when you arrive.

A Slice of Life Journal Class - January 10th & Feb 7th 2008 - $55 for both nights includes you kit!

For many of us, sadly, the spirit of Christmas is "hurry". And yet, eventually, the hour comes when the rushing ends and the race against the calendar mercifully comes to a close. It is only now perhaps that we truly recognize the spirit of Christmas. It is not a matter of days or weeks, but of centuries-nearly twenty of them now since that holy night in Bethlehem. Regarded in this manner, the pre-Christmas rush may do us greater service than we realize. With all its temporal confusion, it may just help us to see that by contrast, Christmas itself is eternal. - Burton Hills

There was the little boy who approached Santa in a department store with a long list of requests. He wanted a bicycle and a sled, a chemical set, a cowboy suit, a set of trains, a baseball glove and roller skates.

"No, no," the youngster said quickly. "Never Mind checking. I'll just take the roller skates."

"'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring-not even a mouse:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there. - Clement C. Moore
