December Daily 2010 | Keeping Your Eyes Open

not a coffee drinker but i may have to go in for a cocoa and grab that cozy! so cute!

I saved my Starbucks sleeve too and thought the exact same thing about the wording! Love that!

Great post. I like the idea of putting together a holiday inspiration binder. I have a ton of magazines and catalogs that I just can't seem to part with for some reason or another. Never thought to tear the pages out and put them in a binder.

Thanks for these ideas Ali. I've seen those starbucks wrapers even though I don't drink coffee will stop in for something just to get one, they are perfect for this album. I enjoyed reading everyone's blogs also. I keep loooking at my album everyday and am so excited to fill it up. Have a great weekend with your family.

Also could you do a post after December so we can all link our finished albums to look at. Thanks for all you do.

HA!!! Thank you for this post! I showed it to my husband to show him that me and my stockpile of coffee sleeves are in good company! Love finding little bits of inspiration in everyday life. Thanks for the encouragement to keep our eyes open!

hello ali, thank you for the shout out! i hadn't seen molly's tutorial. looks like we are cut from the same cloth. glad to see others are doing inspiration binders too. i really am addicted to mine.

and a deal for you starbucks drinkers. from now until november 21st, between 2-5 o'clock it's buy one, get one free of their holiday drinks. peppermint hot chocolate, here i come!

Another Starbucks cozy saver over here!!!!

I am following your December Daily 2010 with interest.... can't really do it myself this year as have quite a few crafty things I've taken on.... but will maybe do it next year! Thanks for your inspiration!
Cheers

Picked up that Starbucks sleeve as soon as I saw it! And a pastry and shopping bag. Yeah, I love Starbucks. Definitely part of my holiday.

I am another person who as been saving the cup covers. I am almost done with a purely paper mini book, inspired by one that Noell from Paperclipping did (my first completely paper project, I have been a digi girl up to now)! I, too, thought that the tag line on the cup cover was something that I could not pass up, almost as if made for scrapbookers/storytellers! Thanks for all of the inspiration, Ali!

I too saved my Starbucks cup holder and thought the very same thing! Love the saying!!

Ali, you must go back to Starbucks and buy something or ask for a bag. Their handled bags have the same story saying but larger than on the coffee sleeve. When I saw this yesterday I immediately thought of you.

Wow -- another "communal" experience - I love this blog Ali!! Two days ago, I visited Starbucks and fell in love with the cozy - I'm a TAO Earl Grey visitor :) ....and I told my friend Danna about you and this blog as if I knew you. I told her about the "one word" and decided right there on the spot that my little word for 2011 would be "share." I even thought about commenting on this but figured it would seem weird on an unrelated post....it's funny how scrapbookers bond :)

I used last year's cup cover in my DD album and loved it! Hadn't thought to go look for one yet this year -- not a regular Starbuck's visitor -- but I'll be going tomorrow. Will have to buy something so I can get the bag as well!

Thanks for sharing. And for some great links & ideas. You are awesome. Have a wonderful holiday
:-)

Hoping to finish my foundation pages this weekend. LOve that Starbucks sleeve, too. I have a picture of it on my profile. Thanks for all of the inspiration and encouragement. Have a happy weekend!

Hi Ali! We were thinking on the same lines! I picked up my first holiday Starbucks coffee on Wednesday and knew I had to add this to my album. The most perfect addition to the stories we want to tell. I haven't finished my base pages yet, but hope to do so soon & post them in the Flickr pool. Have a great weekend! :)

This will be my first December Daily and it will be a big part of my travels as I go from Australia to London to Budapest to Bratislava to Prague and back to London.

I saved my sleeve too!! Then told my sister to stop there & pick one up for herself. They are great for holiday graphics..I love seeing what they come up with each year.

Starbucks Christmas theme is SO perfect this year. I have been saving up everything too. I am hoping to get my foundation pages done in the next few days. I have my annual Christmas Baking day with some girlfriends tomorrow. Yah! This is the start of the season for me and will find it was into my dec daily. So fun.

I saw that cup sleeve last week, and you immediately came to mind! Gotta' love Starbucks for more than just good coffee!

I've been stockpiling those coffee sleeves - they're great! I've just decided to do a December Daily!

I'm using that coffee cozy on the card I make when I mail family heritage albums I made for my siblings! And yesterday @ starbucks I asked for a clean bag they put food in. . . .it has a cute reindeer on it!

I am new to this December Daily thing, maybe next year, however everything I read and see here is an inspiration. Right now I'm working on an anniversary mini-book for our 30th titled "because of the little things..." and have to have it done before the 29th of Nov. So that's my story for now.
