Welcome to Day Nineteen!
Today's story includes a little of the calm and a little of the merry chaos of the season (and of my everyday life).
Page one includes a quote from my Christmas Quotes Vol. 1 package and "calm" from my Painted Christmas word set. I stitched around the edge before adhering the photo to the cardstock back of day 18. On the weekends we all take a little quiet time when Anna has her afternoon nap. I'm currently reading (and definitely into) Fall of Giants
Photo taken with a timer.
Page two is the merry chaos.
I should probably say "mostly merry chaos."
Nothing quite like The Wiggles to cause some merriment for these two.
I repeated the red stitching and Painted Christmas word. Journaling was done with my typewriter.
JOURNALING : It is the rhythm of most days. Part calm and part crazy and merry. Quiet and so very loud. I actually love both in my heart of hearts, but it is those quiet moments that I find myself wishing for most often. And then I remind myself not to wish away the glorious loud of now.

For those of you with small, noisy children remember the chaos and the noise and treasure it as it is so quickly replaced by a quiet, calm empty nest! With both our adult daughters and one husband with us this year, for the first time in five years, I relishing the noise and crowded rooms again. The season seems so much more festive than the last few. Of course, I would not be honest if I didn't confess to escaping for a few moments quiet in my craft roon occasionally :) But the chatter of a family gathered is truly the magical soundtrack of our lives and I am loving having it back again.

Wondering if you have any tricks for sewing on your pages. I have the same Brother machine as you and every time I attempt to sew on my pages, I get marks from the presser foot on my photos. Does this ever happen to anyone else or is it just my machine? It's driving me nuts! Love the look of the stitching but not the marks! Thanks!

I enjoyed the calm today while the big two were at Grandma's but didn't enjoy the extra merry of no sleep at Grandma's! Didn't get any pics, wonder how I can incorporate today into my book...
