December Daily 2010 | Keeping Your Eyes Open

I haven't saved one of those sleeves YET but as soon as the calendar says it's Dec 1st and I feel like I can officially get an eggnog latte (I'm kinda strange that way!) - the sleeve will be going into the album!!
I'm almost ready to post my foundation album. In fact, as soon as the baby goes down for a nap and I can spread the pages out all over the living room floor I will start taking pictures! Thanks for your comment about not worrying if it feels disjointed. I was looking at it last night thinking I was doing something wrong because it felt like it wasn't coming together quite how I'd pictured it. But I will persevere!! Thanks again Ali!

Heh, I'm joining the "club of those who saved these and thought of you as soon as soon as they saw them" :-)
Can't wait to use it!

That's hysterical- I don't even go to Starbuck's normally, but yesterday I went specifically to pick up some of those covers (and a salted caramel hot chocolate) and was so excited to see the saying. I picked up two with only a few strange glances from the other customers. Is it weird to go places specifically for Dec Daily ephemera??? :) Today we made some fake snow so I kept the packaging for that too...At this rate this album's going to be FULL. hee hee.

Oh Ali, yesterday I was so happy to drink Starbucks gingerbread latte again after waiting almost a year! And I noticed their motto too. I love the saying and I definitely will use it in my December Daily cause I'm a big fan of Starbucks. Thank you for sharing inspiration!

My husband made a Starbucks run from work the other day for me just to get my coffee cup sleeve and pastery bags to add to my Dec. Daily. He has been on the lookout for unique items to add to my album and believe me when I tell you I was totally floored and I think maybe just maybe he listens when I talk about scrapbooking!

not a coffee drinker but i may have to go in for a cocoa and grab that cozy! so cute!

I saved my Starbucks sleeve too and thought the exact same thing about the wording! Love that!

Great post. I like the idea of putting together a holiday inspiration binder. I have a ton of magazines and catalogs that I just can't seem to part with for some reason or another. Never thought to tear the pages out and put them in a binder.

Thanks for these ideas Ali. I've seen those starbucks wrapers even though I don't drink coffee will stop in for something just to get one, they are perfect for this album. I enjoyed reading everyone's blogs also. I keep loooking at my album everyday and am so excited to fill it up. Have a great weekend with your family.

Also could you do a post after December so we can all link our finished albums to look at. Thanks for all you do.

HA!!! Thank you for this post! I showed it to my husband to show him that me and my stockpile of coffee sleeves are in good company! Love finding little bits of inspiration in everyday life. Thanks for the encouragement to keep our eyes open!

hello ali, thank you for the shout out! i hadn't seen molly's tutorial. looks like we are cut from the same cloth. glad to see others are doing inspiration binders too. i really am addicted to mine.

and a deal for you starbucks drinkers. from now until november 21st, between 2-5 o'clock it's buy one, get one free of their holiday drinks. peppermint hot chocolate, here i come!

Another Starbucks cozy saver over here!!!!

I am following your December Daily 2010 with interest.... can't really do it myself this year as have quite a few crafty things I've taken on.... but will maybe do it next year! Thanks for your inspiration!
Cheers

Picked up that Starbucks sleeve as soon as I saw it! And a pastry and shopping bag. Yeah, I love Starbucks. Definitely part of my holiday.

I am another person who as been saving the cup covers. I am almost done with a purely paper mini book, inspired by one that Noell from Paperclipping did (my first completely paper project, I have been a digi girl up to now)! I, too, thought that the tag line on the cup cover was something that I could not pass up, almost as if made for scrapbookers/storytellers! Thanks for all of the inspiration, Ali!

I too saved my Starbucks cup holder and thought the very same thing! Love the saying!!

Ali, you must go back to Starbucks and buy something or ask for a bag. Their handled bags have the same story saying but larger than on the coffee sleeve. When I saw this yesterday I immediately thought of you.

Wow -- another "communal" experience - I love this blog Ali!! Two days ago, I visited Starbucks and fell in love with the cozy - I'm a TAO Earl Grey visitor :) ....and I told my friend Danna about you and this blog as if I knew you. I told her about the "one word" and decided right there on the spot that my little word for 2011 would be "share." I even thought about commenting on this but figured it would seem weird on an unrelated post....it's funny how scrapbookers bond :)

I used last year's cup cover in my DD album and loved it! Hadn't thought to go look for one yet this year -- not a regular Starbuck's visitor -- but I'll be going tomorrow. Will have to buy something so I can get the bag as well!

Thanks for sharing. And for some great links & ideas. You are awesome. Have a wonderful holiday
:-)
