December Daily 2013: Part 1

This is my 2013 December Daily...

I tried to do a video so I didn't have to post all the photos but it didn't work out 'cause it is too long...ja!

So I decided to do it a bit at a time, maybe 2 or 3 days per post.

The upper picture is the cover; I used an 6" x 8" Snap Simple Stories album and although I like working with the page protectors it got to bulky...

On the first page I used a die cut 12 x 12 page that I cut to fit into a pp and a tag where I included our family names. On the inside of the cover that was me playing with some stamps that I found on Tuesday Morning...

On the second page I included an Advent Calendar type of Xmas tree; behind each circle (or "ornament") is a daily activity like; decorate the tree, make hot chocolate, make Christmas cards, etc. I got the list off the internet. We didn't do every activity on this calendar but must of them were accomplish and that's enough to make me feel good. For me it was a good idea 'cause I didn't have to improvise to much in terms of what I was going to document and take pictures of each day.

This' the divider for day 1; I did one for each day and this was the reason my album got so bulky and is one of the things I'm going to avoid on the next DD.

I included this December calendar but I end up not writing a thing in there...oops! The stationary on the other side have a Christmas vellum quote on the inside, I like to play around and have different size inserts.

And finally this is the actual pictures for day 1; the first activity was to decorate the Christmas tree...for each day I used the front and back of the page protector so you'll see the other side of day 1 on the next post. Thanks for watching!!
