Welcome to December Daily™ 2011 | Day Twenty-Two.
Can't believe there's just a couple days left before Christmas.
Chris has the kids today and I'm busy wrapping and cleaning up my office and getting ready for the celebration that's on it's way.
One of the things I've loved this year is that my Mom sent a few little gifts that were ornaments that belonged to my Grandma Cathy (my Mom's Mom). Fun for the kids and fun for me. My Grandma Cathy got to meet Simon (loved him of course) but she never got to meet Anna - we know she would have just loved her to pieces. She especially would have loved Anna's early interest in clothes and getting all dressed-up. We love you and miss you Grandma!
Made a little "joy to the world" word art to cut with the Silhouette. If you purchased the kit from Studio Calico it's available for you to download on the December Daily™ message board over there (you need to have purchased the kit and be logged in to access it).
Christmas Quote Strip on top of the photo (my Mom had sent me that quote awhile back and I found it perfectly fitting).

What perfect timing for this post. My mom passed away last week (the 18th) and so now her death will always be the week before Christmas. Christmas was always very important to my mother as far as providing gifts and excitement for her 2 grandchildren. My daughter is still very young (8 yrs old) and this has given me some ideas in how I can still incorporate her love of the season for Christmases to come.

Merry Christmas Ali! I enjoy your posts so very much and have for years now. I have done December Daily for the past 3 years and tried to start it this year but just could not get it going...I boxed up the neat little things I had put aside for it and will just try again next year when hopefully my stress level is a little lower. I wanted to tell you that I not only truly enjoy your posts but the links to so many other talented ladies that you include....I could get addicted to blogging! I want you to know that I am praying for you, for Simon, for Anna and for Chris...praying that you will all be able to see God's plan for your changing lives and praying that he will give you strength along the way. I am sure that the future holds much happiness and delight for your family. Merry Christmas.

Love this Ali! I have some ornaments that were mine (my parents both passed a long time ago) and each year the kids and I love pulling them out and putting them on the tree.
Have a very Merry Christmas!

Ok, is anyone else just desperate for a Silhouette like I am?
