Welcome to December Daily® 2014 | Day Six.
I'm hanging out here this weekend working on my Week In The Life™ album and taking breaks to move holiday decor around.
As I decided on my story for today I wanted to pass along this thought: you can let go of worrying about whether something happened on one particular day or another. Don't get caught up in things having to happen on specific days - it's nice when they do but its okay to save up a story for a different day - it's all part of the same season this year.
For my story today I'm sharing about going to see Aaron's boys at their talent show that was on the 5th - I'm making it my story for the 6th. And it's all good.
Here's a look at what I came up with for Day Six:
Remember yesterday how I showed you that I was planning to include the Starbucks bag?
I stuck with that and decided to enlarge a photo with journaling on it (via Photoshop) to fit inside the bag.
The photo I printed ended up being 6 inches wide x 7 inches tall and I printed it on Epson Photo Paper.
I also really wanted to use that number 6 as a 'pull-tab' for pulling the content (photo and words) out of the bag.
It's something that's easy for your hands to grab when you come across it in the in album.
It ended up working great.
Here's the full page:
On top of the photo I added journaling in Photoshop (Remington Noiseless, type size 8).
After printing I added the number 6 + the "so merry" using the white letter stickers from the kit (which are awesome) and I used a little "have courage" rub on from Tim Holtz as it fit my story. I also added some of the red glitter tape to the bottom.
Photo was taken with my iPhone.
Here's what the back looks like for tomorrow:
I'm not sure yet just what I'm going to do with that - I might leave it blank and just do a little decoration. I have to see what my story ends up being for tomorrow first.
Hope you guys are having a great weekend!

Ali...I love what you did with the bag from Starbucks. I am working my bag into my book, too. :) I'm not sure how yet, and I like your idea. So simple! And I have to say I followed the Epson photo paper link above and saw your "bummer" page with you and Simon standing in front of your door...that totally cracked me up!!! I was laughing out loud at that! Very cute!!! :) Thank you so much for all of your inspiration. :)

I'm glad I am not the only one who is creative with the dates! Hoping to get some of my stories recorded today.

I remember once deciding to put together my own "day in the life" and encountering an unexpected problem: I needed to verify the credentials of a contractor who was helping me design a photo book, and the verification process dragged on so long it completely ruined the day. While searching, I read Checkr reviews https://checkr.pissedconsumer.com/review.html , which showed how people deal with delays and unexpected check failures without letting them derail personal projects. These stories helped me refocus on the meaning of the moment, and that's why this post resonates so easily.
