December Daily : Day 17
(day 17 : "holiday" from a Kate Spade mailer)
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Oh man, I am really starting to get all excited. Updating some of the decor I put up earlier: making adjustments, moving things around, getting ready to have family here. I can hardly wait for all of them to get here.
Working a bit on wrapping each day so I don't end up doing it all at the last minute. I like being able to take my time. Here's a couple so far - going with a red + browns theme.
Found these bakers boxes at Shim + Sons. I like having a mixture of wrapped presents and others in simple brown boxes. Ribbon from Pottery Barn.
Red on red stripe wrapping paper at Target. Chocolate ribbon from Paper Source.
This is cool: today (Tuesday) through Thursday, December 20th Fontwerks is having a 30% off sale with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Autism Speaks. Enter "HoHoHo!" at checkout (don't forget the exclamation point).
And one more thing: could you say a little prayer for me today? I had three more abnormal moles removed this morning. Here's to hoping they are simply abnormal looking and not anything else.
Ali, I, too, had a mole removed and it is disconcerting to wait for the results. I am sure all will be well. Thanks for the lovely photos of Christmas wrapping...so pretty and inspiring.

Ali, I know you're busy, but can I be a bug and ask if you print your photos at home? And if so, what printer do you use?
I love your transparent holidays book...keep up the great work! I check back EVERY DAY!

Sending along my love to you and your family, too. Also, a little prayer and wishes for many good things. Oh, and a HUG. These things can really drive us nuts sometimes...just know that I (we all) care about you and most definitely hope for the best!

working on getting an appt (which has to come as a "referral" to a specialist now that we live in Canada) to see a derm to have some of my moles checked. Thanks for keeping it real around not just that but the season as well...Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the reminder to reschedule my annual mole check. I had to change it for a work conflict back in November... and time gets away. I've had a dozen or so removed (I have lots!), so far been very fortunate. But it's always a bit scary, so will indeed say a prayer especially for you.
Thanks for sharing your Christmas cheer. I need a dose! I had great fun making a clear December daily album, too. Now gathering pictures and ideas throughout the month, but unable to finish the pages yet. I'm thinking a fun New Year's Day project.
Warm wishes to you and yours for a safe healthy happy Christmas and New Year. Thank you for the daily inspiration.
