December Daily Countdown!

Visitors left today :( while I'm a little sad that they have left I'm so thankful and blessed to have had my Dad spend Christmas with us, it has been a very long time.  So I pottered around today and made a start on the paper version of my December Daily Journal.  Getting motivated is hard yakka at the mo, I'm a little fatigued from all the craziness before Christmas I think...hehehehehe.

So here are more digi Daily's...

Day 15 - festive Birthday... Blossom's boy had a birthday, so we all trouped round to their house for cake and coffee after Dinner.  Yummy cake, lots of laughs and cuddles with Miss Ivy!

As I forgot my camera (again) I used Hubby's iPhone, not the best pictures full size but they do just fine the size they are, and I got more photos on the page...YAY!



Day 16 - early Presents... Hubby has wanted a big flat screen TV for a couple of years now but I couldn't see the point when we don't watch TV much and the one we had was perfectly OK.  BUT... this year I caved and he got his big screen TV for Christmas.  You couldn't wipe the smile off his face for days...hahahahha!  Love that man! 



Day 17 - christmas Lights... I haven't driven the streets looking for Christmas lights since Blossom was 14, that was the last time I managed to get the kids in the car to indulge me...lol!  This year I had willing participation from our visitors.  So with the list of houses displaying Christmas Lights our local newspaper prints in hand, we set off.  It was a lot of fun and I managed to get a few good photos, I hope I can convince Hubby to indulge me next year too!


Have a great day!

Tis' two nights after Christmas!

OMGosh life has been crazy in the house for the past week... there was just sooo much to do everyday but I'm happy to say this was the first year we were not up until 3am Christmas Morning wrapping presents...lol. 

So here are some more December Daily pages... no I haven't kept on top of these but I'm hoping I will have some time over the next couple of days to indulge myself a little ^.^

Day 11

I still haven't got anything for this day but I'm sure inspiration will strike soon...hahahaha

Day 12 - Sunday... I love that my DH has a room of his own to indulge his passion for miniature making.



Day 13 - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... I love that we have a fireplace I can hang stockings from. (I plan on having this removed soon so these pictures are extra special)


Day 14 - The spirit of Giving... Anne (our visitor from UK) bought me another bunch of beautiful flowers.



Have a great day!

December Daily!

Another 3 pages of my daily diary... I have to say this project really is fun!  I've sort of planned what I am taking photos of and when.  This in turn is making me think about my camera and what I need to set it to, to get the photos I want - one day I will master my camera :)

Day 9 - Merry and Bright...  the wreath on my front door, the photo is tweaked just a little ^.^

Day 10 - Christmas Joy... to see my daughter (Aunty) and grand daughter together is just so precious!

Have a great day!
Sammy :D

Day 7 - Handmade Presents... Personalised Calendars for everyone this year


Day 8 - Christmas Carols... just a few of my favourites :)



Have a great day!

December Daily!

I'm thinking for my book version of this page, I am going to make the photo lift up to revel journaling about our family traditions.  I love this photo even though it's a bit out of focus, I have never thought to photograph the tree ornaments before.

December Daily Day 5 (digi version)...


Have a great day!

December 16, 2010

December Daily!

Every year I print my own cards, usually with a quickly scribbled note inside.  This year because I was so super organised, I wrote a 2 page letter... hehehe the folks will be surprised!

December Daily Day 4 (digi version)...


Have a great day!
Sammy :D

December 15, 2010

December Daily!

I buy a fun Christmas ornament every year, this year it was a wood painted 'Merry Christmas' Santa and words... I love this ornament, you can't see it very clearly but the green is glitter that really sparkles in the light.

December Daily Day 3 (digi version)...




Have a great day!

December 14, 2010

December Daily!

I'm on a roll, well I am now I've managed to get my pages to go the right way.  I was trying to print my page foundations for the book version when my printer decided to be a pain.  Then I realized the pages were around the wrong way when printed back to back :DOH: never mind I worked it out in the end...

December Daily Day 2 (digi version)



I'm lovin this project ^.^
Have a great day!

December Daily!

So it's been a while I know and being the holly jolly season means less time for all the fun stuff... but I have finally started on my December Daily!  What's that??? Over on Ali Edwards blog, you can join in this years project or just have a peek at previous years she has created a December Daily journal.  Basically creating a record of each day in December through photographs and journaling. As I have only just tuned into Ali's blog recently, this will be a first for me.

As usual I am a bit behind the eight ball having only just started this project but it is fun.  Knowing I was going to start soon I've taken photos every day.  Last night I started putting things together with the intention of creating a digital version as well as a paper version.  Creating everything digitally first is going to save me so much time when I do the paper version.  I gave up paper scrapping because it would just take me for ever to decided what to put where...hahahaha.

So here are the covers...

Front

Back 
Everything is from my kit Comfort and Joy available HERE!

I had a couple of oops with printing the first few pages but this was due to my lack of preparation and not measuring my pre-cut papers.  All sorted now though and the rest of the pages should be a breeze to print, we'll see... lol.

Have a great day!

On a Quiet Sunday!

I'm pooped... spent the day cleaning house for DS and DIL in anticipation of Mum and bub coming home tomorrow. Just a small thing I could do for them, so they don't need to worry about it :-D . Planning on going round once a week just for the first month to clean. I would have loved this when I had my babies so I am sure it will be appreciated.

I also managed to get all the family calendars and Christmas cards printed today :yay: Planning on binding the calendars tomorrow and writing out the cards so I will have them done before the end of the month... GO ME! GO ME! ... rofl

...and did the final Christmas present shopping online tonight, so I don't have to think about that anymore either :BIGGRIN:

WOW what a day... hope you had a good one too!
 
Have a great day!
