journal your christmas giveaway + meeting IRL

December starts tomorrow. Really? Sheeeeeesh, where has the time gone? I’m not ready to fully embrace the holidays just yet. But I am enjoying the holiday music that is already blaring everywhere I go. I am looking forward to getting a tree next weekend, and I am really looking forward to taking Shimelle’s Journal Your Christmas Class. I signed up for this class a few weeks ago because, well, I want to document our holidays. Writing is one of my biggest weakness and for a long time I dealt with it by simply keeping my words out of my layouts. But I don’t want to censor myself anymore. I want my thoughts to be a part of the pages that I create. I want to be able to write confidently. I want to find my writing voice. So that is why I signed up for this class. But this workshop is so much more than just a journaling class. It’s filled with creative prompts, photography tips, and even a digital kit (created by Shimelle)…all designed to help us create a meaningful album.


Would anyone care to join me in this class? Shimelle, the sweet, gorgeous, brilliant and ever so generous person that she is…she’s offering to give away one spot in her class to one of YOU! To read more about what her class is about, please see the CLASS DESCRIPTION posted on her blog.

To enter for your chance to win, simply post a comment below. You have until Monday, November 30th at 11:59 pm (PST) to enter. You can get an extra chance to win if you tweet this. Be sure to come back and post a link to your tweet in the comments section. The winner will be drawn at random and announced here on Tuesday morning, December 1st. Good Luck guys!

Guess who I got to meet in real life this past weekend? Two scrapbooking icons: Jamie Waters and Caroline Ikeji. Yeah. Really!!! I’ve admire both of them (for their scrapbooking + photography) for SO SO long. I can’t believe that I finally got to meet them in real life! I’m still totally star struck.

Here are the two gorgeous ladies
