December Daily 2010 | Day Twenty

I love how you took the photo of your tree.. thanks so much for the link. I am so happy to be still on track. I am setting some time away every night to do my page.. I found this year I am keeping everything a little more simple, so it is easier.. and I love that I am doing more journaling , this is a first for this album.

Am loving doing this album this year. I love that you put the idea out there for us to do along with you. I love, love, love your pages, and look forward every day to seeing the new ones.

Hi! I had a couple of days last week where I didn't know what to do with my pages. I hadn't taken any photos and we'd been to busy to do anything worth documenting so I had my boys decorate those two pages. My oldest(5) made a christmas tree and my little one (3) made what I think is a gingerbread man. I think I may have them do this every year. It will be really nice to see how their artwork changes! I thought this idea might come in handy for some!

THis has been such a fun project! THank you for all the inspiration, Ali!!

I definitely want to try the bokeh photo! I'm off to do some more crafting today.

I love how your album is turning out. I'm taking notes everyday so that I can do mine in January, when my life is so more manageable. Thanks Ali, for inspiring so many of us to keep memory albums like this.
Janie

Just opened my flikr account and added my page to the list

Another great several pages. I made a pocket by sewing the pocket on. Sewing is so useful.

No guilt but I am behind. I work on it when I can and I am challenged to finish it. We have a week out of town for Christmas - how will I finish this??!! I'll bring as much as I can and I have a small photo printer I'm bringing with me. I have a feeling I will have more to add during that week than I did the rest of the month.

Keep up the good work Ali! I love every page. Also I will have some just journal pages and I feel better when I see yours. LOVE IT!

Ali,

So happy to hear your health is good and no worries with the last wart you removed. Good news and reason to celebrate more!!

I made it this far ! I love this project !

I like the bokeh!! Magnificent! It is really a pleasure to come here;) Your December Daily is a marvel!!! Thank you for sharing it with us.

I have had the pages ready to go from the start, but only managed to print out some photos and get started yesterday- i did two random days 19 and 17 as I was most inspired by those photos. I LOVE them, and was so excited I couldn't get to sleep. Now if I can just occupy my 3 kids, I can do the rest! Thanks for keeping the inspiration going with the daily posts- it would be easy to lose momentum, but you keep on encouraging me to get on with it! :)

I am so glad I am doing this decdaily album. I believe my family will enjoy it for years to come. I am 1 day behind - but I still plan to finish strong :) I took Karen Russell's photography class last year and I have enjoyed spending the month taking lots of pictures and practicing that side of my photography skills. And then I am inspired by your creativity and your passion for journal, which is the other part I can get play with and be inspired. What great inspiration! I check your blog first thing in the morning to see your decdaily new spread :)

Simon and Anna are wonderful children and kudos to Chris for the photobooth picture maybe he should do a blog to husbands on helping with DD's!

I just wanted to thank you for sharing this project idea. Two days before Halloween I was at the park with my kids and slipped while I was carrying my 18 month old. I broke my leg in three places and had to have surgery. Having a broken leg has changed the pace of our family's holidays. I decided to try doing the December daily album as a way to make the best of our Christmas season. I knew it was going to be tricky to do a lot of the activities we normally do because of my leg. This album has turned out to be a great thing for our family. It has helped me focus on the positive things we are doing and not to get discouraged when my leg starts to slow me down. As a family we have been able to focus on simple traditions and I love that we will be able to pull this book out next year and pick out traditions that we can continue. Here's a post on my blog where I wrote about our December daily album: http://paisleypatchwork.blogspot.com/2010/12/decembr-daily-album.html

I love the tree effect! I took a picture like that of my tree last night, I was going to use it as a backdrop for my main photo, but I couldn't get it to work without looking like I laid my main photo on top of the other. Something to play around with I suppose. ;)
Merry, merry!

I can't quite believe that I am keeping up with this project and still in love with it! I check in with your blog each day and although your style is very different to mine I am inspired each day, thank you so much. I'm off to have a go at photographing my tree following your link......

I'm keeping up! Loving the stories.The templates have been great to keep things simple!

I have been able to keep up and upload my pictures to FLickr on Sunday nights. It has been very therapeutic to slow down and look at the memories I am making. It has been a nice little "destresser."
