The Vintage Eiderdown

Manifesto: Noun. A declaration of one's intentions.Starting December first, I will keep a Christmas journal. In it, I will write something every day to reflect on the holidays of my past, enjoy the holidays of the present and dream about the holidays of my future. To some, this will be a stack of papers and trivial scribbles, but not to me. I am taking back my Christmas, I am letting it be something I relish and, most importantly, I am giving at least fifteen minutes every day to myself no matter how crazy this season becomes. I hope you will share, encourage and understand as I make something with my own hands, my own words and my own memories.

I started this shimelle.com thing, christmas journal with Deb, man this is stressful, having to complete a page a day - these people obviously do not work and their houses must be bomb sites but hey I'm never one to resist a challenge so here goes.I'm just about to start page 1 and finish the cover so I will post it on my blog tomorrow.
