Hi everyone, I have another journal page for Jo's AJJ theme - 'Snowy Winter'
We haven't had much snow yet this year(not that I want it) but seeing all of the dreadful weather conditions in the USA have me thinking about those of you with power cuts and restrictions on travel, not to mention the freezing temps! I hope everyone is OK. I have read one or two posts and it seems pretty grim!
My page has a blackbird helping himself to some berries in the snow. We have some hedges around with berries on and we love to see the blackbirds hopping along the hedges.
I stamped some pine leaves along the bottom and wrote some words from a favourite carol using a white pen and aded some peel off stars.
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, one of my sons and grandson came for Christmas Day.(My granddaughter is in Australia, with her other grandmother)
Our family day has had to be postponed until next week as the hosts came down with a bug!
I've been quite pleased with our Christmas lights this year - supplemented by the lights outside in the communal garden.
Hoping I can remedy the commenting now I have remembered to charge my Tablet.
Thanks for looking, Chris
Great journal page, Chris. Love your lights, too. There are so many people have had bugs over Christmas. Hope your delayed family day goes well, eventually!
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone is okay over here in the US, too. Been terrible out east.
ReplyDeleteLove your lights and the cute page. Happy New Year, Chris! :)
Very nice journal page and such a beautiful Christmas tree with all the lights!
ReplyDeletegood after partying with your family! Happy New Year! Hugs, Elke
Such a beautiful page! Loving how you created this with the pretty blackbird calendar image and the wording is perfect too 😊. I so enjoyed seeing your Christmas light display - fabulous! Thanks so much for joining me at AJJ and enjoy the rest of your week! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely page Chris. I love the blackbird in the hedge, and I think stamping the pine branches was smart. It looks so festive and the pines make it more festive. Sorry to hear you had to postpone your holiday celebrations, but it isn't the date but just being able to get together, isn't it? Stay healthy and have a wonderful rest of the week. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journal page Chris I really like it.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year

A lovely page Chris, my blackbird seems to ignore the berries and likes to rummage around under the fallen leaves which we have left to keep our small patch of soil warm during the winter. I have been putting him some seed out in a little carton `I made from tin foil, it is \Christmas and I wanted to make life a bit easier for him.
ReplyDeleteall the best for 2023 and hope to see you before too long.
Hugs, Neet xx
A lovely page and a reminder I need to go upright one of the bird feeders and fill both. Your Christmas lights are so pretty and cheery.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely scene, I love Blackbirds too, and yours is really cute. I have some berries and hips that they eat off the bushes and I always leave some of the fallen apples for them too. They do love an apple or two! Hope you can get to have your family Christmas soon and that everyone gets well soon. Happy Holidays! Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteyour calendar design is lovely.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HOLIDAYS
Link to my 12 Days of Christmas HERE
There is an annual festival happening at my blog now. I invite you to link up. You do not have to place a link back link on your blog; just link up.
I will after the festival catch up with prompts and add my links
MUCH🎄LOVE
Such a nice page and Christmas lights.
ReplyDeleteYou can do this on a tablet?! I could never. I have a "normal" PC and two huge monitors, a keyboard and mouse...
What a beautiful bleak midwinter page with its black bird and red berries.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful journal page, especially with the black background. Your blackbird looks like it is goin to have much to eat, too. This is a fabulous page for Jo's theme at AJJ.
ReplyDeleteSorry your family get-together is on hold, but it is best that all are well when you get together as a group.
