December Daily™ 2011 | Day Six
Welcome to December Daily™ 2011 | Day Six.
Each year when I put this album together I always know there will be a day or two (or more) where I'd love to just be super quick with the process. Not every page has to be crafty, extensive, well thought-out, have photos, or even have words.
Today was that day for me.
Knowing that, I usually stash a few things in my December Daily™ pile that I can put into my album that tell simple, quick stories (that are still meaningful when viewed in the context of the whole album). They often involve things cut from packaging, magazines, etc.
Here's a look at each page for today:
Packaging cut from Anna's Advent calendar (Playmobil Christmas Post Office). I'll add something from Simon's (Lego Star Wars) when December is over (his didn't have any extra packaging). Actually I might just print out an image from online to add to the pocket. Brown paper bag tag was cut from a Trader Joes shopping bag. Cut little red and white paper clip is from Smash.
The second page image was cut from the DVD packaging. Underneath I wrote a few details about what kind of Advent Calendar each kid received and how they've been watching these movies (and Home Alone).
Quick and easy. Especially great for those days when everything else feels anything but quick and easy (also great for days when you might be playing catch-up and find yourself working on more than one day at a time).

I love easy days esp. after a few stressful ones! Ciara has a chocolate advent calender from Target this year, but next year with my new grandbaby on the way I want to start the Lego Advent tradition!

Great ideas - wednesdays are "Grandma day" with two of my grandchildren and today we sang Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Santa is coming to town and watched and sang while watching You Tube videos. Great idea for todays page to include pics of them and packaging. Thanks - you are so inspiring.

i love that your kiddo's love Home Alone... my little one calls it "THE FUNNY BOY MOVIE" because he thinks it is so funny that he plays pranks on the "bad guys"
So much fun!

Now, that is something I am dying to get my hands on. Haven't seen any where I live. :-)

Oh, my kids are LOVING their Advent calendars, too!! (Thanks to you for the suggestion... although my youngest has already misplaced his red mailbox and all of the letters from the PlayMobil set...). :)

Thanks for the reminder that not every day has to be all cool and special - ordinary days and ordinary things are just perfect, too! Which is pretty much exactly what my days 6-7 are about LOL!!

There is nothing better than great packaging. I went shopping over the weekend and saved my TJ bags. Great packaging all around us we just need to slow down to take it all in.

Ali-
Don't think you realized it, but every day when you put the link in the first sentence of your post where it says Welcome to December Daily 2011, if I click on it, it links to your 2009 posts, not 2011. Any chance you could swap those out?
Thanks so much!

Actually it links to a compilation page of ALL my December Daily links from 2007 to today: http://aliedwards.com/2009/12/december-daily-compilation.html
