You'd barely know it from my point of view... lol. I met with my study group from 10am until about 8:20pm when I had to leave to go to my office holiday party. Yup, 10+ hours! They were still there working away when I left... and we still have a ton to do on our project. While doing some Google searches today we found people who had earned master's degrees by doing this same thing as a thesis. I'm sure theirs were a little more involved and we're doing it as a group, but still... kind of an indicator of how much work it is! We're making progress, though.
My office holiday party was pretty fun. We had it at Costco this year and there were games, snacks (including a yummy crepe bar!) and a prize giveaway. Lots of people were also shopping since the store was open to those of us at the party but I managed to refrain... anything I buy there would almost definitely be more than I could use! Mostly I hung out with different friends from work, met spouses and enjoyed a break from work and studying.
So now, by once again staying up way too late to try and get my other projects done, I squeezed out the page for the Day 3 journaling for my Christmas Journal. This is based on a prompt from Shimelle and centers on Christmas Cards so I decided to make a few small Christmas cards; the journaling is typed inside each one. I made matching envelopes from vellum and a JudiKins envelope template and then stamped and colored the fronts, embellished and stuck 'em on!
I've got a ton of homework that must get done tomorrow (today... Sunday... whatever!) but I hope I can really focus and get it done so I can make some progress on Christmas presents and maybe even do a little more on my journal :) But first... sleep!
I love all your gorgeous cards on this page. I also like the way you designed the layout. Very unique.
