December Daily 2009 : Step Two, Part One • Construct

I'm going to Greece !!!!!! At least I think I am. I put it my deposit last night and got a confirmation.It was 1:00 am Florida time and nobody was awake here for me to shout it out to --- then I had to go to bed.!! ....I'm so excited...looking forward to spending some time with you and soaking up some inspiration. ~~ Mary Lib

i have been stalking the tt's website looking for their next release! i hope there are new ones out by you! but, the links dont work. can you help a girl with a bit of a stamping problem?

This will be my first time to make a December Daily Album. I'm SUPER excited. I'm going to get all my things gathered this weekend and start the process. Wish me luck!

I am doing December Daily this year for the first time! I have admired your DD projects for the last two years and decided to join in the fun! Just pulled my christmas stuff out and ordered my book today! YAY! Can't wait!

I downloaded your December Daily Journaling Overlays last might and I'm printing them out as I type this (I'm not a digi scrapper yet, but you've inspired me to branch that way. There are some awesome, printable digi accents out there!) Can't wait to see your finished product!

okay so I want to know how you manage to use your sewing machine at what looks to be quite late at night without waking your whole house up!
Really hoping to get my act together with this project this year...

Ali, I CAN-NOT wait to go on this journey again with you. I just can't believe it's come around so quickly though - okay, waiting for D day. hugs.

I got so inspired, reading your posts for the December Daily. I ran upstair and got out my album from last year, and was super-happy to discover I only missed the last four days of December, and I am sure I have the pics and can complete it before I am due to start this years adventure.
I was just so happy to see the album again, to remember all the good times we hand, and to read about all the stuff I do not remember at all :). I feel like such a wonderful mom for rediscovering all the little things I did for my kids in December 2008, and the idea with the ready made pages worked way better than my 2007, make-the-pages-as-I-go-approach.
I absolutely LOVE you for bringing this idea to my attention!!!
Hugs, Irene from Norway

Is anyone else having problems reading this blog? The font size is teeny tiny and I tried it with both Firefox and Internet Explorer. In fact I can hardly see what I'm typing! Yikes!

Don't you just love late night crafting? I smiled when I saw you using your sewing machine in the dim light. I do it all the time.
Yay about the December Daily starting again. I so enjoyed playing along last year.
Sure appreciate you, Ali.

Not sure what might be wrong, but you can always increase the font size by clicking "cmd" and "+" on a mac / "ctrl" and "+" on a pc using windows. Hope this helps!

I spent the day in my craft studio yesterday beginning my first ever December Daily Journal. I am so excited, thank you for being such an inspiration. I have your blog up all morning, refreshing the page about 10 times. Can you tell that I can HARDLY WAIT to see your finished product. :)

yeah! so excited to see what you've been creating for the DD.09 album. this is such a great project, and about the only scrapbooking i have (make) time for.
thanks for sharing this special album with us again this year ali.

Unrelated to the current post, but can you direct me to where I can find the framed Merry Christmas decoration you made (I think) last year? The one with a variety of holiday patterned papers.... I've done a couple searches of the site and can't come up with it.
Thanks!
April

Thanks! That was wonderful to look at.
You're a peach! Carol

THIS IS SOMETHING I AM GOING TO GET WORKING ON RIGHT AWAY !! I love mini's and you are so generous with your tutorials!!
thank you so very much for this inspiration

Here you go April: http://174.121.80/wp-content/typepad_archives/photos/holiday_projects_2006/holiday1.html

I've been following your December Daily's since you started. I love your albums, they really capture the true holiday spirit. This year I am going to give it a try. I usually scrap every Christmas, but I find myself too overwhelmed with all of the pictures. Your album is a great way to document the season without having a ton of photos! I just finished putting my album together last night!

Ali, I love your stamps & I am so glad you teamed up with Technique Tuesday. I took the "Everyday Life by Ali Edwards" class at CKC Seattle this past week & loved it. I loved the design we made. I even bought 3 of the puzzle "tiles" to help benefit autism. And then of course I had to buy stamps! Love it. We need more journaling stamps out there for normal size journaling...not just tiny dates & 6 word sentances only. Thank you thank you thank you and keep bringing us more!!!! I love your style of scrapbooking, it fits me...clean, organized & the story is told!
