December Daily - day 1


December Daily time!

I love December! I used to dread it in fact! The sheer thought of all the shopping, present idea thinking, cooking, wrapping, entertaining, battling christmas crowds would send me into cold sweat! But since joining Ali Edwards and hundreds (now thousands, I'm sure) of her followers in completing a December Daily - documenting the 25 days in the lead up to Christmas my attitude has changed!

Not only do I love completing this lovely project, admittedly I am a completely project oriented type of person, I walk around the shops, crowds, parties, family gatherings, queues with a smile on my face and camera in hand. Always wondering what small adventure I'll capture for the DD today?!

 I love it! I think when each page comes together every day it makes it even more rewarding. I just love looking through my past 3 editions, opening the envelopes, looking at what we did on a daily basis -it's great. It's a true celebration of the everyday! And I love that! Thank you Ali Edwards!

It doesn't have to be complicated, in fact you could use an online photo book layout like you can find in Shutterfly, where it's all digital and all you need is time. Personally it's my treasured time at the end of the day where I get to be completely creative and put down my thoughts on the day - completely soul satisfying! Not to mention getting to stick and paste cute christmas embellishments totally makes me smile! Ahhh the love of stationary!

Join me on this adventure! I am going to attempt to post daily pages of December! mmm...not sure I can handle this as well! But will see.
