This is my last post for December Daily 2013, I am all done, YAY!!!
December 21
Today is family time, we play and took lots of photos.
December 22
We make Papi post and took a lot of photo and realized only from those photo that someone needs a hair cut badly, LOL!
December 23
We did a lot of Christmas shopping and stock up the fridge for the holidays
Make a new ribbon for Papi, now he looks like my little elf
December 24
Our Christmas dinner is always very simple, we baked a chicken this year instead of pork roast, and I also make a sweet potato casserole.
I make a double page for Christmas eve
the best part of the evening is to see Papi open his christmas present, we had lots of fun
December 25
Clare make pancake for the family on christmas morning
it was yummy
this is Papi's first christmas, this little guy truly bring lots of joy into our life
I think Papi really loves his christmas present
I am finally done with my December Daily, thanks to
for taking me through this journey
what do I learn?
I am not a very fast scrapper and do not have a lot of time to spend in my craft room on a daily basis, by December 8, I finally realized that I need to find a better way that suits me so I won't have to play catch up with this project, by using the a collection of paper makes a lot of different for me since choosing paper like I always do for a page is very time consuming.
In the beginning of December, I wasn't in the most pretty mood, the December Daily project make me keep a journal of my emotion on a daily basis, I realized I cannot be complaining and venting everyday, it makes me think, what can I do to make me feel better, so I decided to focus on gratitude and jot down happy thoughts instead of the negatives.
These pages are beautifully made Kirsty!... Lovely photos too!...
ReplyDeleteYeah... I agree with you.... focus on positivity rather than dwell on the negativity...Happiness start with us first...
hugs...x
Kristy- your pages are so nice!
ReplyDeleteAnd the chicken-mmhhhhhhhhhhh
Love pancakes too- had my last in 1999 in Miami:-(
Have a great day

ReplyDeleteOh I love your photos!! Your daily is just gorgeous and well worth the effort ... Well done Kirsty!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely BEAUTIFUL pages, Kirsty! I love what you did with all of them! And thanks for sharing your wonderful photos, too! They are adorable! and your food photos made me hungry! I am off to eat breakfast now!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pages, Kirsty, love that you shared your Christmas with us! Happy Saturday, hope you are loving on your puppy today! Glad you figured out the commenting thing...I did not realize you were trying to sign in with Typepad.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you tackled this project, Kirsty! I know it is a lot of work....work that I've always been afraid to take on myself. But what a gorgeous album you have ended up with, and more importantly, this process seems to have greatly lifted your spirits at a time when they were down. I love your album! I think your tip of sticking to one collection is a good one as I know it must save a ton of time. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to give this a try. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous post! Love all your pages.....so cute. Wonderful pics Kirsty!
ReplyDeleteWAY TO GO!! I'm so glad you did this album and kept up till it was done!! How cute to see the new family member on almost all your pages this month. It's so fun to have a new furry friend in the house and to celebrate with.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to know what will help you next year with your album. It does help to use the same paper line so it all goes together and just having a few things done ahead of time. I think you did great though.
Had no idea you consider yourself a slow scrapper. I'm amazed at all you get done for your challenges and sharing them.
Beautiful pages!!!
I'm sorry you are done because I REALLY enjoyed your December Daily posts! Wonderful images and memories! I also LOVE how you ended it with what you learned!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pages and what a lot of work went into making this! I am sure it will be treasured for years to come. Beautiful photos and the food made me hungry! ~Diane
ReplyDeleteWhat an accomplishment! All of your pages turned out beautifully as so full of lovely details. I love that you also wrote down what you learned. Great advice for scrapbooking and life in general.
ReplyDeleteThose layouts are beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour food photos made me hungry!
Sometimes only one word describes something best, which in this case definitely is WOW! Your gorgeous pages are totally cool Kirsty, love them all!

This December daily is priceless; and your first Christmas with Papi! I am blown away by the way you decorated this album. beautiful papers and emebellishments. By the way; your Christmas dinner and pancakes look delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful finish! I'm much the same- paper packs help me stay focused on creating rather than agonizing over the papers. Love the self reflection.
