My Mom's 2021 December Daily® Album

Last year my Mom gave me permission to share her completed 2020 #decemberdaily album and it was one of the most fun things I shared on YouTube in 2022. She's granted me the honor of sharing her project again this year and it is a complete joy for me to walk through it with you here today. 

Stories forever!

You can see the walk through of my Mom's 2020 album here.

    Oh my. I am extremely emotional watching this. I've never met your mom but I feel like she is all of our mothers! I loved everything single thing about this. I love that she scrapbooks from the heart and doesn't care about the latest trend or having the latest product. All that matters are the stories. Thank you for this gentle reminder.

    I just loved this walk thru of your mom’s Christmas album. So beautiful and so much inspiration to write more and share stories of even the little things. I am totally going to lift her idea and do a two page spread on each of my daughters and their families. Love that idea.

    This was just lovey and thanks to all of you for sharing. I will admit I had tears and such deep feelings about missing my mom and my dad. I have not started putting my book together this year. I lost my husband of 47 years in June and I have been trying to organize a way to honor him and the season . This was inspirational and has given me the nudge to jump in and work on it. Your parents are a treasure and it is wonderful that you still have them to make memories with. Great job by your mom and again thanks for sharing.

    Oh my gosh! What an awesome album your mom put together. I joined you in becoming emotional towards the end when she named what she was grateful for - WOW! Thank you to your mom for sharing her inspirational December Daily album with everyone who loves you and the products you design so we can all put our stories to paper.

    Please thank your mom for being an inspiration to ME (just as she feels you have been for her). I am 68 and her lovely album has inspired me to finally do a DD and share for my family what is important to me. Thank you so much!

    Thank you Ali and to your mom too for sharing her beautiful album with us.
    I just want you both to know that it really touched my heart and also brought tears but I have already made notes for documenting some stories in my album next year that I really never thought about telling.
    Bless you both !
    Thanks Rhonda

    This is absolutely beautiful Ali! I especially love the page about their shopping day and what your mom titled as "togetherness." It just reminds me so much of my parents and how they stock up on staple items but also love a great bargain/sale:) Thank you and your mom for sharing with us.

    Your mom’s album is such a treasure. Oh how I wish now that I’d have nudged my mom to document more of her stories while we had her here with us.

    Such a wonderful album! So happy to be able to see her interpretation of DD - it is very inspirational, especially for someone who hasn’t completed one yet. Committing to doing a DD album in 2023!

    Again, so thankful for your mom and dad sharing their stories. I love how much your mom hand writes in her projects and this year including some ephemera (cards, packaging). It reminds me of why I started scrapbooking and it reminds me of what I want to make sure to include more of in 2023.

    Thank you! Thank you for being so open to share your life (Ali + mom). Thank you for being vulnerable as that's where the connections happen. When you got emotional...I/We ALL felt that alongside you. I love this album so much!!!

    I love, love, love seeing your mom’s albums. I totally relate to her style! And love the stories she shares!
    I have one question about your Christmas products. Will you be bringing the stencil pack again this year? I found a couple of alternatives to use for this year, but I would really LOVE to have that set for future use! Thanks for considering!
