December Daily™ 2011 | Day Six

Love this layout! Am also planning on including our favourite Christmas movie into our December Daily album!

So great Ali! Sunday I took a quick picture of "The Muppet Christmas Carol" DVD case and that took centre stage for the day (on paper and on the screen). We are loving this. Thanks for it all.

Love how packaging is fun too. My yoghurt company puts a Christmas thank you sticker on their packaging at Christmastime, it's something that will be going in my album.

The last 2 days have been days like this for me too. Yesterday I didn't take any photos and today I only took 2 - 2 shots of my much needed chocolate cake - a tough Mummy day! Also, thanks for the Lisa Leonard code - I have a necklace on my Christmas wishlist!

Thank you for all the inspiration - your stories and pages are great! Thanks also for the reminder that certain days are just like that. I've had a lot of those days, and getting inspiration from you and others just help me with tips and ideas that I can use for my own stories and by that I also may get past certain point where I feel stuck in the process.

Christmas can be simple too... the little things count! Thank you for reminding us of this! loving this December Daily... this is my first and I'm learning so much everyday!

Oh, thanks for the reminder to keep it simple. I was going in the other direction... Overthinking again. Your last sentence is SO me right now. :-)

I don't have a blog, so I'll just share what I have done for my easy days:
1. Downloaded a Christmas Coloring Sheet and had my daughter color it.
2. Gave my daughter a pile of Christmas stickers and a 5.5x6.75 piece of cardstock to adhere to my foundation page.

Love your pages today & the way that they are so quick and that they give a break from photos. Awesome :)

Backlogged 3 days now - very busy time at end of term for me so simple is much appreciated!!! Worst thing is I have the pages all made in my mind, just have to find time to actually get them in the book :-P

Ha ha..I did the same thing this weekend. I printed an image from "Elf" the movie and added it to my page. Great minds....

Great idea. Seeing those familiar classic images made me smile. Thanks.

LOL My day six is of the Christmas shows because I didn't get a pic yesterday!

I find myself doing the same thing....through out the month things or events that would fit in the theme if note or make a mental note like this weekend is Poinsetta festival 10 to 6 at Baseline and than on Saturday a cafe event and so on....this way it stays front and center on my mind.....

hugs and blessings

it's a very good idea. thanks !!

Great suggestion! My son is a December baby so I feel like I am doing double duty in one month! Seeing your images of the kit make me sooooo jealous! I found you too late to order but I am using your digital templates. Thank you for helping me understand how to document special moments simply.

looks great. ali, my son has the star wars lego calendar too, on the first day of ours there was a mini sized fold-out that was of exactly what the picture of the box looks like - i used it here:

maybe you could scan it in case simon wanted to keep it with his instructions and such. enjoying december daily - thank you.

great idea. my twins and hubby are participating in my church's christmas production (www.sccjourney.com) and including a brochure into my album will be fantastic and similiar to your inspsiration. Thanks Ali. The day we watch Christmas movies (planning to do that when my grandkids come home) I'll need to match your idea. Thanks so much for all you do. P.S. Each day I attempt to link in with everyone else's december dailys and i always get an error. oh, well.

Ha! I bought the same DVD set for Alyssa this year and I planned on using the packaging in my album too! Christmas movies are such a part of the holiday season and the movies in this set were ones I looked forward to watching on TV when I was a kid.

I have this packaging to those movies—-really wanna use it!

The image of the Christmas Classics takes me right back to my childhood! Is Lisa Leonard the same artist that makes the OLW items? I'll have to check her site but just wondering - my word last year was to long to have on a necklace but this year's word is only 3 letters so I'd like to get a necklace this year.
