"While we are waiting for Christmas"

"While we are waiting", a little book for Advent and Christmas.
This is the book that I teached at Papirfest. There were 35 participants and it was the first time I teached for so many at once..... and it went surprisingly well.....lol.. . Sponsor to this clas was Papirdesign, Kort&Godt and Fretex.
I've used the covers and some of the pages from an old book, paper from Papirdesigns beautiful Christmas collection, and embellishment such as laces and roses from Kort&Godt.

Here are the pages from the book.




To get the tags looking old I have used really strong coffe. Put them in for just a few seconds and let them dry. Do it over again if you want a darker color.




I have various activities and subjects that are my family's Christmas tradition as headings in the book. Christmas cards, wish lists for christmas, The St.Lucia celebration, Decorating our Christmas tree , Christmas eve etc, etc. .. there should be room to put in pictures and writeups from what one might desire. I hope that this will be a good memory to look back on later in life, not only for my family, but also for all those who made this book in my clas.

Here I have made a little pocket to put in some of my tresured Christmas recipes






Some of my favorite Christmas carols
