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.
Sending good, good thoughts, Ali. Take care of yourself.

I'll be sending good thoughts your way, and hoping that those moles are nothing serious!
Your wrapping has so inspired me to get creative with mine! I just love how simple you kept it, but how gorgeous it looks! You amaze me :)

It'll be just fine. All your unwanted moles will be gone before you know it. Your December album is just an inspiration. I look forward to seeing new pages every day. And I don't know if you remember but I was inquiring a few weeks back if you'll have the Everyday beautiful album on sale soon and I'm happy to say that I was able to purchase one on ebay like you said (for almost double the price) but so much worth it. Take care!

As I too have been through the basal cell cancer surgeries I have an understanding of what you are going through. I applaud you for being vigilant and taking care of yourself. I have added you to my pray list. Happy Holidays - enjoy the spirit of sharing the season with your loved ones. And I love the December Daily Album.

my prayers go with you. Just so you know you're not alone-I have had quite a few moles removed over the years. In fact, I had about 12 (small to medium ones) removed from my torso on the same day! That took some real healing time, but you can't even tell I ever had them now. I'll be thinking of you and praying your results are all clear.
I so enjoy your blog and look forward to seeing all your new ideas. You're a big inspiration; because of your blog I've gone back to scrapbooking again and really enjoying it now.
Happy Holidays!

if I did, you'd be there! but I don't so how about I send you a big warm fuzzy virtual *hug*. Be well, think positive, get some Vitamin E capsules and rub on the oil when they have healed up to reduce scarring. **hug**

God Bless you! You are in my prayers today.
Thanks for all the inspriation through your blog. I love it. I especially love how you always link us all over the place. I love the places you take us! :)
Your album is looking GREAT. I am going to have to try this acrylic album 'thing'. What I truly love about your scrapbooking is the texture, the different sizes, different elements. Truly inspring.
Merry Christmas!
