December Daily® 2024 | Story 21 + Story 22
Tags:Welcome to Story 21 and Story 22 in my December Daily® project for 2024.
Sometimes the most fun thing to do is take a photo of your TV and tell a story about it. So that's what I decided to do for Story 21. Aaron surprised me with a new 4K Blue Ray player and the entire Game Of Thrones series on Blue Ray disks. Might sound silly but it's AWESOME and I love that he did that for us and now we are embarking on a full rewatch.
Story 22 is about getting to go see Simon's Christmas short film at a movie theater!
Let's dive into the video for both stories:
Here's a look via photos:
For this page I simply cropped my photo to 7 inches x 8.25 inches and added my journaling below before printing. After printing I used a white POSCA paint pen to draw the border and add the "twenty one" along the left edge.
This is my life + I'm telling my story!
STORY 22
For Story 22 I'm using a foundation page I created for our Product Play workshop this year. This one includes some of the die cut trees and a washi-wrapped plastic tree. On the top I added the story number and a chipboard that says "spreading good cheer." I'm essentially creating a little booklet to hold the story using the two pages I created for Product Play.
On the left side is the poster Simon made for one of his classes that goes along with the movie he made. You can watch the movie on his YouTube channel here.
The next piece in the "booklet" is the "be merry" plastic phrase.
And next up is my journaling printed on vellum. I also stitched the chipboard word "joy" along the top and then cut off the excess.
Next we've got a photo of Simon manning the entrance to the theater that was showing his short film. He had volunteered to check people off as they came in to the event.
I love him. He's the best.
And then here's the back of the little booklet. Along the outside edges I added labels that I cut from the Prompt Paper pack. I used stamps from a Pieces Of Us stamp set to go along the labels.

So good! I’m intrigued by the 4K blu ray. Love the booklet about Simon’s movie. It’s so good! Aaron immediately reminded me of Buddy (in a good way!) and then I loved how that movie was spliced in. So funny and joyful!

Oh my goodness! That was so adorable. Scrapbooking for so long and following you for so long I remember when he was little. You must be so very, very proud of him!

Ali, that movie was the best! I couldn't stop smiling when I watched it on Instagram. No wonder you are so proud of Simon! And love that you and Aaron showed up and probably stepped outside your comfort zone to do that for him. Love love love that Simon has found what brings him joy, what more can we want for our kids!
