December Daily - Day 7

December 7th - I have needed a haircuts for a long time now. I have been putting it off because I have been so busy tending to my husband after a recent surgery. Well, today was the day. I called them this morning and she could fit me in at 1pm and I said - book it. I will be there. I had her add some layers to make my hair not look so heavy. I love the way she styled it, actually, I love everything about it. I was a happy camper leaving that beauty shop.

Today's pages documents my hair cut and my sister and I making cards. We are involved in a 'card exchange' with some friends early next week. Each person is making the same card (20 of them) for a specific season of the year, and then we will get together and do an exchange. We will each come away with 4 stacks of 'generic' cards that we can use as gifts this year. This is the first time I have been involved in anything like this. I am not much of a 'card' maker. I don't know why, but cards tend to intimidate me. I can do mini albums, 12X12 layouts, and all other sizes in between, but cards...not so much. I picked an 'easy' card to make (found this sample in the Stampin' Up catalog) so that I would feel comfortable making them. I went to my sister's house so that we could make them together. It was a lot of fun. I actually had a good 'card' experience. Yeah!!!

Here are my pages documenting these two things: Enjoy!

December Daily - Day 6

December 6 - Was all about 'Elf Yourself'. Not much happened today. It was fairly quiet. I work from home so I spent most of my day in my office. However, I did make time to go to the Office Max website www.elfyourself.com. We get a kick out of this each year. I downloaded a picture of my husband and of me and then watched us dance. (as elves) I couldn't decide which one I like to most so I took a picture of each one while it was up on my computer screen. This wasn't an easy task being that we were moving and dancing around so much. However, I feel like I got one in each dance that was 'good enough'. Enjoy

Here are my pages for Day 6th:

December Daily - Day 5

December 5 - Today was pretty much a very quite day for us. We woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the snow-covered ground. It was beautiful. It was a very windy day. We loved how our flag looked blowing in the wind on our front porch.

Today ended up being a 'movie' day. I watched a movie on the instant watch Netflix. (The Bounty Hunter) and then later in the evening, Mark and I watched two Christmas movies that were on TV. We love overdosing on Christmas movies. We even re-watch ones that we love that we have seen many times before. This is pretty much the journaling that I have on the last page for today.

So here are my Day 5 pages:


Enjoy your day and Happy Holidays...

December Daily - Day 4

December 4 - Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow. We didn't get all that much (approx. 2 inches) but boy was it beautiful coming down. It started around 12n and snowed until we went to bed. I got a lot of great photos but only shared of few in my DD album.

So, here are my Dec. 4th pages: (lighting isn't the greatest but here they are nonetheless)

How is your December Daily coming along? I hope you are enjoying this project as much as I am. This is the third year that I have participated and I love it each year more and more.

Happy Holidays,
Cherri

December Daily - Day 3


December 3 -

December Daily - Day 2

December 2 - The story for today wastime that I spent with my daughter. Ashley lives in another state and was still here visiting since Thanksgiving. She is leaving Dec. 3rd so we tried to cram a lot of 'December' into one night. We made cookies, and she showed me how to cut 'paper trees'. We had a really good time together.
So here are my pages...

December Daily - Day 1

Yeah!!! It's finally here. The day we begin documenting the days leading up to Christmas. I have done my 'Day 1' a few days ago but I am just now getting the chance to post on my blog.
December 1 - We had a lot happen today so I did the journaling to share all of the those details inside the card.
So, here it is...
My journaling is inside the card.

Hope everyone else is having a great time on this project. I know that I am.
