Week One | Looking Back
We begin with a look back at all eight of my past December Daily® albums via video walk-throughs.
What stories will you tell this December?
Storytelling with December Daily® is designed to get you in the mood for documenting your December, one story per day.
Here's a look at what I'll be covering each week in November:
Week One | A look back at all eight of my past December Daily® albums with individual video walk-throughs. The take-away from this lesson is the opportunity to learn from the past and reflect on what's worked and what's not worked to create a plan for this year.
Week Two | Process exploration. Setting expectations and setting yourself up for success by establishing a storytelling mindset.
Week Three | Specific storytelling ideas, encouragement and inspiration, along with photo ideas to spark additional stories.
Week Four | Techniques for including stories in your album including digital, hybrid, interactive, etc.
The classroom will remain open and act as a supportive community throughout the month of December and beyond as you work to complete your album.
A couple things to note:
This is not a step-by-step workshop for setting up your foundation pages. I will be sharing my process for creating my foundation pages, as well as sharing each completed day, on my blog as I have done in past years.
I am aware that not everyone has children at home and will be keeping that in mind as I present the content within the class. Please remember that I do have children at home and it does influence the types of stories that I include at this time in my life. I also spend parts of December on my own and include those stories as well.
For the last eight years I've shared all my December Daily® pages on my blog. Content included in this workshop will come from my experience all those past years (meaning I am not creating new pages for this workshop and will be using my past albums as inspiration and teaching tools).

Enthusiasm for the story-aspect of this project
Students do not need a specific December Daily® kit for this workshop but I will be referring to my 2015 main kit when looking ahead to stories I plan to include this year
I have included a visual list to the left of products I'll likely be using for my 2015 album
