Christmas tree hunting... That has to be a magical moment. Beautiful pages 😍

[@JamiePate]

It actually is a very magical moment. You are right! Takes effort and planning to make it happen. But it's just a beautiful time.

[@TheGogirl5]

love love love all of this. The peak into your family..... your December approach!

[@JamiePate]

[@JamiePate]

Thank you, Bea. It is certainly a most wonderful family tradition. Thank you.

[@marciahawkins1442]

SOOOO GOOD! I love your Christmas tree hunting tradition. We used to do that when I was a little girl and I cherish those memories! Proud of you for getting so much done already!!! It's amazing!

[@JamiePate]

I am going to stay close to you if you think I have got so much done already...LOL!!! I'm feeling a bit more stressed than I wanna be this December. And so it goes: one day at a time. Thank you again, Marcia.

[@marciahawkins1442]

Looks like you are doing amazing! I can totally relate to that stress. My son is having some health challenges and it's really weighing me down. I'm having a hard time getting motivated, but I'm trying to do a little something creative every day to keep my spirits up. Crafting makes me happy and feeds my soul. Hang in there - and keep making amazing makes. You go, girl!! @@JamiePate

[@JamiePate]

@@marciahawkins1442 See? This is why I keep people like you close!

[@jessica_upton]

Love all of your beautiful details! So many great layers.

[@JamiePate]

Thank you so much, Jessica. You are the queen of the page layouts, tho!

[@nancysmith3289]

So many great ideas! Love this series you are doing!

[@JamiePate]

Be sure and stay tuned. There is more to come!

[@Angful]

Yay! I'm also using the 49& Market spectacular papers/ephemera so I may have to borrow your ideas, Jamie!

[@JamiePate]

Well...only if I can borrow your ideas too! Don't you just love this past time?

[@Sheree-aka-SherryLynn]

I moved in June 2021 to be closer to our daughters and 5 of 7 Grandlittles. First time I ever lived in a house with tall ceilings. Probably could have gotten a 12 foot tall tree but went with a 9.5 ft slim tree. Going to be fun documenting this change.

[@JamiePate]

Sounds like a great story to tell for sure! Wow! 12 foot tree would be amazing!!! Have so much fun with all your new to be had memories.

[@Sheree-aka-SherryLynn]

@@JamiePate it would be fantastic, but I have no business at 69 yo climbing up a ladder tall enough to decorate a 12 foot tree. Did I mention that my Hubbie loves Christmas, but it is hunting season? I have never had anyone but the 3 kids to help me decorate. Now they all have their own families so I’ll do what I can and call it a done. 💕💕🎄🎄

[@JamiePate]

@@Sheree-aka-SherryLynn Well then, you get to eat too!!! lol! And yes, I would agree...no need to be climbing a 12 foot tree. Love your stories. Each one of your comments here would make great story pages. Thanks, Sherry!

Pretty

[@JamiePate]

Thanks, Linda! Thank you so much for watching.

[@deborahm.2460]

For Oh What Fun, I kept thinking you might pull out a Xyron to use instead of wet Glue!

[@JamiePate]

Well. That would have been smart now, wouldn't it have been? LOL!!! I do have one of those somewhere. This is me just making on the fly. Perhaps you can relate! Thank you for your comment, Deborah! ❤

[@desireeglaze2856]

What size do you cut the paper that isn’t in page protectors to make it the same size as the page protectors pages?

[@JamiePate]

Hi there! I just line up the page protector and mark the paper the appropriate dimensions and then trim on my trimmer. I think that is what you are referring to. Let me know if you have further questions.
