December Daily® 2024 | Story 25
Tags:Welcome to Story 25 in my 2024 December Daily® project!
Twenty-five stories told! Some are long and some are short. Some are extra crafty and some are super simple. Some are silly and some are serious and most are just pieces of my life from last month. I love this project. I love experiencing December this way - no matter how much joy I'm experiencing in the moment. Thank you so much for sharing your own stories and challenges and successes during this past season.
I'll be back later this week sharing a full walk-through of my finished album.
Let's dive in to the video:
Here are some additional images:
I loved doing a Table Of Contents again this year. It's a fun way to preview what's included in the album as a whole.
Story 25 starts on the back of Story 24 and the die cut circle page. I used a 3 inch circle punch again to cut out these photos. On top of a few of the photos I added plastic words from the Main Kit and I added gold foil puffy numbers for the 25.
As I was standing at my table deciding how I wanted to complete this album I decided that what I wanted most was a beautifully simple ending. I added the felt 25 to the back of the big shaker page (see the details on that here) and paired it with a full page photo of our tree this year.
In the video you'll hear me mention that this album for me is always made up of the sum of all the parts. My Christmas Day stories are often short - sometimes I only include one photo depending on the day. This project for me is about the season: the anticipation and the celebration and all the moments in between.
On the back of the full page photo I added some pattern paper and then one of the tags from the Main Kit. I wrote a little "thank you Christmas" note to recap. I paired that story with the tag page I put together for Prep Day with the stitched tree + hanging embellishments.
On the very back page I added "until next year" to wrap up this project for 2024.
Sending lots of love to you and your families as we move into 2025. I hope you'll join us for a memory keeping project or two during the year - we are so thankful for your support and for the ways you value memory keeping in your own life.

Gorgeous album as always, Ali! I followed your formulas closely this year for many pages and it helped me enjoy the project even more. When work stress increases, it’s so nice to have this outlet and a plan of attack for the crafty part!

Gorgeous! Sometimes I dream of a chill Christmas! We have a lot with family in town and extended family and parents with health issues and expectations. But it’s joyful nonetheless. Just not super relaxing! Loved following along. I have three more days! Ready to be done!
