2012 December Daily

Tonight I finished my December Daily. Thanks to Shimelle Lane and her Journal Your Christmas Class, I had lots of ideas for stories and thoughts throughout the Christmas season. This is always a joy to make. I love reading the older ones I have made. This is my 7th book. I decided to do the full month of December this year instead of stopping on December 25th.

Jan1This page is a photo from the internet of Seattle. No I was not there, I was asleep. I worked at 6 am on New Year’s Day. I think this is the first time I have no stayed up, I must be old! The last page is an envelope with notes to myself for next year. I put everything from where to find real tangerines, to ideas for stories in my DD and even card ideas!

So there you have it. My December Daily done until next year. Each year I am sure I love this one the most, and this year is not an exception!
