December Daily 2009 : Day One

What a coincidence, or probably not so much, since we both have boys, but my two boys did the exact same thing today, opening their new Lego Advent Calendar "Day 1" which was the (Lego boy with the snowballs). This is also my day one for my Dec. Daily book. Although I must add that your Simon looks so much better in the photo than my 2 boys do in their boxer shorts and no shirt, opening theirs.

Charlene,
Thank you for this link - I will check it out this evening. Very excited about the idea, just didn't know how to get started. Scrappers are the best.

Hi Ali,
You say simple, but the whole digital thing still freaks me out. I can see how it will work once it is set up. I just have to take the plunge I guess.

Yeah! Can't wait to start! Thanks for the inspiration!

I love your work here in BRASI you have a hardcore fan....For the second year I am doing with you this album that I Love. Thank you for your affection.

Ali, I just completed page one of my very first DD album and I just want to thank you. I already feel like I'm approaching the holidays differently this year. Rather than getting all stressed out about the shopping and baking and running around like a crazy woman, I'm looking forward to finding a bit of magic in each day...and capturing it along the way. Thank you for the inspiration.

I have a printer question for you... It looks like you print most of your photos at home; what kind of printer do you have? We are looking for a new one and I'd love one that will print great looking prints as well as everything else. Thanks!

YEA the fun has begun! I sooo enjoy your December Daily.

So exciting to see your first page! I've taken my photo, will journal tonight and will order a week's worth of photos this weekend. I'm so excited to be joining along with you this year.
I have a couple of questions about PSE and your overlay--You mentioned that you moved the line, how did you do that? Can you color the 'december' one color and the number/circle a second color? Can you share how to do that?
Thanks.

I've got my Dec. Daily base complete & made my photo today. No time to journal or print photo tonight, hope I can "catch up" tomorrow. This is my first year to try this, very excited about it!! Thanks for all your inspiration!
How do you move the line on your digital overlays?? Can it be done with PSE? Is there a tutorial that you know of? I was trying to use one of your overlays on a photo the other day & the line kept going across a person's face & I wished to myself that there was an easy way to move it.

I just wanted to write a quick note of thanks to you. I am so darn excited about this project. I love the simplicity and quickness of it, that I am slowing down this month, and that I am recording our stories of the holiday season. Thanks so, so much. My Day One is here: http://lifemadecreations.blogspot.com/2009/12/december-daily-no-1.html

I have been on the count down for the first of december (even though while i type this its now the 3rd of december, being in nz and all hehe) but it was cool to finally be able to start this its very new and exciting to me, i have just finished the journalling for day 2 and will print photos weekly as i don't print them at home cause i like a matt finish on my photos but thats cool....i look forward to seeing the rest of your month Ali, I check your blog each morning first thing before taking my daughter up to school, love all your work but expecially loving this daily december album

A Lego advent calendar???!!!! That's awesome!!! I'm getting one for next year! I did the same type of pic for day one. We have a snowman calendar where you put the snowflake in his pocket. Not as exciting as Legos thats for sure! :)

Your December Journal is off to a great start. Can't wait to see more.

I think it's so funny that we have almost the exact photo for day one- LOTS of Lego Advent calendar excitement here too. :)

also made a december daily if you want to see it incidentally it is par here

you are such an inspiration! Thanks for the creative ideas and fabulous giveaways!

I am stunned to see a lego advent calender. WISH I'd had that already .... Fabulous start Ali.

I love how it looks!
I forgot to take a picture yesterday
of them decorating the mantle and opening up their ADvent calendars! oops!
I guess when it comes right down to it, I haven't even made the album yet anyway! I did end up doing it last year, just not exactly how I wanted to.
goodness, time moves too fast!
thanks for sharing!
