December Daily 2010 | Day Twenty-One

Welcome to Day Twenty-One!

And yes, that is Simon with Santa again. Round two is what we're calling it.

I had this thought as I was uploading these images today: what if Simon had his photo taken with Santa every day during December? Talk about a December Daily to remember. (Not to mention the daily cost per photo from Santa...maybe I could work a deal with them...hmmm...maybe in 2011.)

This time I simply adhered the entire photo, with the marketing stuff included, onto the background.

I added a small shipping tag and stamped using these alphabet stamps from Hero Arts and an older number set from Studio Calico.

In between these the first and second page is this really great postcard we got from family friends:

and this that I didn't want to lay on top the Stickles on the second page just yet:

Inside the pockets I added a movie ticket (Katie took the kids to see Tangled which is how they ended up seeing Santa again) and a receipt from Trader Joes (already there was the Christmas Box and two stickers glued back to back from The Girls Paperie Tinsel & Twig Christmas Sticker Pad).

For page two I started off thinking I was going to adhere part of one of the snowflakes I made following these instructions.

So I did that...

And then I decided to drawn around the snowflake.

And then I decided I didn't like the look of the snowflake glued down so I pulled it up (I use permanent adhesive so I was careful as I pulled it up):

And I liked that better:

Then I decided to add some platinum Stickles around the inside of the snowflake.

And that was ok too.

I'm totally into these vintage Santas.

JOURNALING : Katie took Simon and Anna to see the movie Tangled today. They loved it. Katie said that Anna did awesome through the whole movie (with no paci too - working on having that just for naps and night-night) and that she laughed right along. After the movie they did Round Two with Santa. They said that Anna sat on Santa's lap right up until they took the photo. Simon, of course, got another one. Having a round two with Santa is cool.

    Well, our Santa visit happened last night and as expected, my 2 year old freaked out to say the least. All fine for the 45 minute wait in line (yes, should have been more on top of things and gone earlier!). The other 3 kids were absolutely amazing - even the babies! I expected them to be the freak out ones, but they just sat each on a knee, looking at each other, then at this funny guy that was holding them! What a story I have trying to just get the 2 year old anywhere in the picture (trying to hold her just so that she would not miss the photo) - but makes for my funny story for Day 22!

    I have officially given myself a few days off with the holidays and plan to still jot some notes down if need be in the next few days, but revisit my DD on Dec 27th (I'm going up until Dec 31st). A friend is doing it as well and we plan on getting together to play catch up!

    Take care and sending well wishes for your happy health news. I know you had a little army of us out here, who don't even know you sending prayers and thoughts.

    Have a wonderful holiday Ali with your beautiful family!

    I almost forgot to take my girls to see Santa,my eldest didn't ask but as it's my 3rds 1st Xmas I braved the shops & paid a small fortune for a terrible photo so I've decided to ditch the tradition & instead have our favourite photographer take pics of the girls, we did that last week, & I've planted the seed with her to Organise a Santa to come along to the park & do mini Christmas photo shoots much nicer idea than the rushed shop pics!!
