Hello and welcome to Journal Journeys! This little Blog Party was organised by Altered Orchid after we had a Twitter chat about celebrating having some time off! It is an opportunity to celebrate this lovely time of year! For my little part of the blog party I wanted to have a little fun! There is a message from me, a message from a special guest blogger and a giveaway right at the end of this post!
Firstly a little message.
Secondly a friend of mine wanted to share with you his shopping adventures today so that on this Christmas Eve you can be thankful that your shopping is done and you can spend time relaxing!
The Adventures of Mr Gingerbread
Hello my name is Mr Gingerbread and I wanted to share with you my day. Unfortunately due to the snow I had left my Christmas shopping a little late. So on this cold and wintery Christmas Eve I went to the city of Cambridge. Deciding that I couldn't face the car parks I went to the Park and Ride and waited for the bus.
Whilst on the bus I got comfortable and checked my Twitter feed.
Cambridge was busy but everyone was very jolly! We stopped off some hot chocolate to revive us a little.
I went journal shopping. Well you can never have enough journals!
I finally got round to shopping for others and then realised I had forgotten to check the DVD I was supposed to get for my friend Ms Light so I rang her from a telephone box. (My mobile battery had gone because I had checked Twitter so much.)
Shopping done, legs aching and hungry I got the bus back and finally made it home. I spent some time enjoying the snow in the garden, contemplating all the wonderful people who are special to me and thanking Ms Light, Altered Orchid and all the other blog party people for allowing me this opportunity to share my day with them.

I would like to thank my good friend Mr Gingerbread for being my guest blogger today, I am sure everyone enjoyed your pictures!

So if you would like to enter this giveaway leave a comment in the comments section and next week Mr Gingerbread (and the randon picker internet thingy ;) )will pick a lucky winner!

I am glad Mr. Gingerbread had such a fun trip, but next year I suggest he tries to shop in November, much less stressful. Maybe I will even listen to my own advice. Have a wondeful Christmas!

Yay for Unravelling and Gayle and Christmas: I can already tell that 2011 is going to be an AWESOME year with all the new blog friends I have made the last couple of months.
