December Daily Days 1-4!

Hello Friends! I have had a very busy 5 days of December! I finally got the chance to sit down and do my first 4 pages, and they were so much fun! I have been really taken notice of all the little things that make my life wonderful and the things that I might not document and making note of it. So, here is Day One of DD:

My December 1st was FANTASTIC! I had texted with Bianca about Finals, and she texted that she had passed English, and I also got to see Tony get a new belt in Kung Fu! Priceless!

Day Two:
Every morning, Tony comes downstairs and lays across the heater in the floor with is favorite blankie, usually the dogs come around and they play, so I wanted to get this memory in my book, one of the little things in my life that make me smile!

Day Three:
I had a few things to choose from, and picked this moment in time, where I realized that our lawn was the PERFECT playground for Tony. We spent about 1/2 an hour playing in the leaves, it was so much fun!

Day Four:
I had to document my entire day here because it was fantastic! First I run out the door to get a few more supplies for my class, and find Tony in the recycling bin with daddy picking up said leaves in prior post, "Click" perfect capture of the moment, then I had a class at my house which was so much fun, 5 wonderful friends over to craft, eat, shop and chat the day away, I love those days. Then we went to get our tree! It is so much fun to do with Tony, as he of course wants the BIGGEST tree to be found. Its big alrighty! Beautiful and full, I love it!
I hope you are following along and if you do have my kit, show me what you've created! I really have made mine as simple as I can, trying to focus on the "WHY". Big hugs to you today!

Happy December 1st!


I hope you all are ready to enjoy this Holiday Season! I sure am! I am really excited for my December Daily! As I got ready this morning, and then drove to work, I really took notice of the little things that I love about this time of year, my life, my family and what I'd like to document. I took the above picture of the tree right outside the front of our house. You can't even see our lawn right now, because its full of the beautiful leaves that have fallen off. I think I love that aspect of where I live so much. The trees are BEAUTIFUL, and in the fall they become these vibrant yellows, reds, oranges, and just glow in the morning. I'm not sure if this is the picture I'll use, since my day has just started, but I hope you also start to think of the things you'd like to document this December. I didn't get a picture, but this morning, Tony was wrapped up in his favorite blanket on the floor on top of the heater.. super cute, and great memory as this is his daily thing. I hope to get that one in this month too! Remember, it doesn't need to be about all the crazy things we go through in December, but how we FEEL and what kind of memories we remember, we make, and the traditions that make us who we are inside. I'll probably just get my pictures today, and do the page the next day, so tomorrow you'll see my December 1st pages. Please do share, post a link to whatever your doing to document your December, and if your still looking for a kit to do this, you can find it on my website HERE. You can always take your pictures, make your notes and put it all together at a later time too!
