December Daily (Pages 1-6)

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Finally, I have a few pages of my December Daily to share. I have the front and back cover and pages 1-6.

I'm really loving the red and turquoise colors this year.

One thing I'm doing a little different is to record memories as they happen, rather than 1 page per day.  I just haven't been as organized this year and some days (especially work days) nothing of note really happens. So, I'm just going with recording things as they happen, which may be nothing for several days then 2 things the next day.  And that's OK.

And I'm trying to keep it pretty simple. It seems like life is so crazy and it's hard to fit everything in, but I really want to finish this project. I love looking at the previous 3 years of December Daily.

Anyone else out there creating a December Daily this year? I'd love to hear how you're doing!

December Daily (Sneak Peek)

A little sneak peek at this year's December Daily:

Now I have to get busy and create the album (I'm usually ready to go by Dec. 1st).

Not sure what December Daily is about?  It's basically a place for me to record our daily activities during the month. It also helps keep me on track to do fun family activities before the month flies by so quickly. For lots more info, see here.

Spread Too Thin

Ever get the feeling that you are trying to do too much. Like you're stretched too thin?

I sure do. I totally want to try everything. But then might not have time to finish what I start.

Yikes. No bueno (as a certain 16 yr old of mine likes to say).

So here are some updates on a few projects I've been working on.

1. Thankful journal.
     I hate to say it, but I've lost interest. I really like the way my pages turned out, but I'm just done with the idea and ready to move on to Christmas. Will have to wrap up with a few more photos and call it done.

2. Walk a mile a day.
     OK. I'm failing bad on this one too. Day 1 was Thanksgiving and I took the dogs and the hubby out for a walk before the family arrived for breakfast. Day 2 was Black Friday, and while I did not officially go on a walk, I did walk around the mall lots of times and figured it must have been well over a mile. Then, no more. I know. I feel bad. I haven't felt well. But I'm starting to get better, so I will continue on.

3.  December Daily.
     This is one of the projects I'm super excited to start on. This will be my 4th year doing this journal, and I've really enjoyed looking back on past years, plus it helps me stay focused on our family traditions and not let the time fly by too quickly. But....I need to get busy and get the "framework" done now, so I can just print photos and add words throughout December. I don't want to get bored before I complete the album and just quit like the Thankful journal.

4.  Black Friday shopping
     Went shopping. Had fun. Did not spend too much money, but rather used the day to gather ideas and make plans. Then took the little one out for some desperately needed  new clothes, at 60 to 70% off. Yeah me! And dinner and a movie (Rise of the Guardians). Turned out to be rather a nice day!

5.  Future Projects
     So I'd like to sew a quilt, sew some shopping bags. learn to knit, learn to sketch, continue to paint, learn more about blogging, continue working on photography, restart Project Life.........

I know. It's too much. But it does keep my days interesting!

What would you like to learn how to do?
