Gosh! you are so good!! This page is so lovely, perfect for journaling. I love the privacy and the construction of your page. It is so clever but not complicated. Thank you so much

[@JamiePate]

Your words are so very kind and encouraging. I'm glad you like this. Here's to not complicated. You know...just every once in a while. Hope your day is lovely.

[@JamiePate]

You are so sweet, it's always a joy to hear from you. I'm glad you liked. Super doable in any album. Hope you day is a lovely one.

Loving the 5 things. My 5 will be the best stories that happened throughout December, not necessarily any particular day(s). Not sure what I will do for the tags yet, but I'm thinking on it. I really tried to read the Book of Luke starting December 1st, but have failed miserably...so maybe those failed intentions will make it on the tags. Hopefully, there are no more than 4 of those stories. I am with you on not caring how many stories I include this year...I will be happy with however many I create. I'm of the mindset that quality is better than quantity...that's my story and I'm sticking to it!! 😄 I do admire those that can tell daily stories though.

[@JamiePate]

It's all about doing what works for you. I love the "quality over quantity" motto. That for sure is a good one. And it evokes the slow movement of making too. We can get caught up in what everyone else is doing and think that has to be us too. And guess what, Luke is always there! haha. We still have Epiphany, so here's to reading Luke in January. No failing miserably here. 😃❤️👍

Simple, elegant and beautiful! Love this. Can't wait to give it a try!

[@JamiePate]

Thank you! So glad you're inspired! It's not complicated. But it sure can showcase some good patterns and layers. Thanks, Marcia.

I love watching you use these pockets (actually all of 49 and Market😊) A great idea for the tags. Thanks for sharing Jamie. Have a wonderful day.

[@JamiePate]

I’m so glad you enjoy the pockets, they're so versatile! Thank you for watching, my friend! Enjoy!

Yikes, just sent off December order #3!!🙆‍♀️. Merry Christmas my friend!🎄. Two more awesome pages!! Love the tag ideas, I’ll rewatch to write down the ‘recipe’ you shared, always love those! One of these days I will buy one of those beautiful albums for a special project. I had forgotten about the 5 things! I will REALLY try to get that done this week. Such a simple but meaningful way to get the story on the page. We certainly can think of 5 things to celebrate this month. Dave and I celebrate 43 years together tomorrow.❤️ Where did that time go?😃. Wow, so many stories shared…. Thanks again for sharing even more ideas for our storytelling. You are one creative and talented woman. We SO appreciate you!! God bless you❤👏🎄❄️

[@JamiePate]

Thank you for watching and sharing your story, I love your celebratory spirit! It just comes right through here. And Happy Anniversary!!! Cheers to December weddings!!! And Merry Christmas to you too. Sounds like it is one already.

Gorgeous tags Jamie!

[@JamiePate]

You are so sweet, they are one of my favorite things. Thanks for watching, Jessica!

[@PM_1937]

Absolutely wonderful, gorgeous page. I love that your December documentation leans into faith, joy, and meaningful, personal stories for this beautiful season. 😍

[@JamiePate]

Thanks, it's my favorite time of year to get a little more introspective and contemplative with the pages. From what I read I think that is the same for a lot of us here. Here's to those meaningful stories. Hope you are getting them down too. ❤️

[@susanferris]

Great idea. It looks beautiful and tactile. I think I will use my tags for gratitudes. Happy Holidays !

[@JamiePate]

Thank you, it's such a great idea for tags and great for documenting.Gratitude is always a good idea too.

[@denisefabian5830]

One of my favorites!!!! I'm doing my December album yes every day and doing Lindsay Bateman's Christmas Memorydex (which will be a gift)...and guess who hoarded 3 spinners? MAJOR MAKING SEASON...but also itching to do a major white glove treatment on my studio come January.

[@JamiePate]

oh yes! January is coming. You do have some major making in the process. Wow! Go you!!!

Jamie, Do you use a binder for each month or quarter? Lucinda Woods

[@JamiePate]

December Album is it's own 6x8 album. Always separate from the other albums. Other stories right now are found in the Heidi Swapp Storyline Chapters type inserts. Those are stored quarterly in an album binder. Let me know if you have further questions. Thank you.
