and Present:)
I spent the last 2 nights preparing this years December Daily album.
This will be the third year that I am going to play along and I have to say these are some of our most loved albums to look back on:)
The whole idea of December Daily is to prepare the pages before December so that during the hussle and bustle of the holiday season all you have to do is fill it with pictures and some quick journaling. It may sound like just another thing to add to the pile of Christmas craziness but I promise you will be glad that you did.
Ali Edwards has said that this is a project that doesn't really come alive until December when you add your photos and memorabilia.....but I will share a few of the blank pages from this year's album anyway....
the cover....
Since I can hardly stand waiting to begin this little project....I thought I would share a few pages from Christmases past too....
some of my past album covers:)
and past pages....
another page about writing out cards:)
As I mentioned above....I absolutely LOVE doing this project....although admittedly when I look back on these pages and see how much my little elves have grown over the past few years...well...I love it a little less;) *sniff* sniff* but then I remind myself that this is precisely WHY I scrapbook:)
So....who's playing along this year?
Link me up!
Mine is going live on Dec 1st :):):):):) I loveeeeeeeeeeeeee your past (and present!) books!!! they are gorgeous! This is my first year doing it... and I can't wait! :):):):):):):):):):):)
