"Dead, dead artistic and good"




I've decided to take part in Journal Your Christmas after all. Here is my journal.

For the fact fans among you, I am embracing the oft overlooked 5.5 x 8 inch format. This is because I am experimenting with a more journally, notebooky sort of feel this year and consider portrait format expressly suited to a more textually biased approach. *strokes beard, sagely*

Meh, actually it's because I made the basic album two years ago, during one of my tedious grown up art stamper phases and, surprise surprise, never actually did anything with it. So I've titivated the front with a bit of Christmas stuff, et voila, one JYC album. Quick and dirty win, I think.

I expect 5.5 x 8 is going to open up a whole new world of pain when it comes to getting photos to fit right, but never fear, I do like a challenge*.

*No, I don't

Nice. I expect great things from you Missus, as per usual.
I'm just going down the writing route this year. Bought a MASSIVE a4 notebook covered in silver flock-type thing from Sainsbury's, and indend to write endless drivel about how wonderful it used to be when I was a kid.
