Here we go with Day 29. Almost done! =D


Day 29 finds me...

*having fun at my not-so-local scrapbook store (40% off the whole store? Yes please!)

*getting King Arthur Flour's "The Baking Sheet" in the mail (Homemade bread. YUM.)

*eating pizza (Cuz that's how we roll on Saturday nights!)

*using the photo to hold a bit of personal journaling (Love it when I make secret pockets!)


Two more days to go! I can't believe that December is pretty much over and a new year starts soon. Where did 2012 go??? =D


Thanks for stopping in today!

Only a few more days left in 2012's December Daily! And then it's back to our regularly scheduled creations. ;-)


Day 28 finds me...

*running errands

*first to the accountant, where I get my yearly mini calendar

*then to the pharmacist

*watching a gorgeous Full Cold Moon rise over the lake (No pictures this time! I learned my lesson yesterday! HA HA.)



Is anyone participating in Ali Edwards' next project...One Little Word? I had a flash of creativity and knew what word I wanted and how I wanted to approach living with that word in 2013. I'll post all that on January 1. =D

December Daily Day 26

I'm still chugging along with my December Daily project. Ali Edwards ends her's with Christmas, but you can check out her entire album here.

Day 26 finds me...

*taking photos of my Mom's Christmas decorations (I'm pretty sure that angel is older than I am!)

*having taco salads for dinner

*using up the Divine Vanilla Cookie hand soap (But that's OK. I found more!)

*finding a seriously cool quote by John Piper ("If there is any deep longing in your heart for a consolation and comfort that this world cannot satisfy, it is because God is preparing you to recognize and receive this gift: Jesus Christ, the Consolation of Israel. Don't seek it anywhere but in Him.") I wrote it out wrong, but decided to just leave it. Typos are who I am. ;-)


I'm going to miss linking up to Ali's blog and checking out everyone's pages. If you're going into withdrawal and looking for something fun to do, check out Jules' fun contest on her blog, Always with a Heart. She has an AWESOME box of goodies to give away!!

And here we are.

Christmas Day.

Day 25 finds me...

*traveling to my sister's house (VERY foggy!)

*carefully peeling labels off presents (My mom's are so funny they've become legendary!)

*adding bits of the famous "The Christmas Story" wrapping paper ("It's a major award!")


This is the only page I've finished so far. I still have more photos and pages to go. I'll be documenting the rest of the year in this album too.


Thanks again for your visits and comments! And I'll see you back here on December 1, 2013, for more Dec Daily fun!! =D

December Daily Day 24

December Daily Day 24, a photo by HikerCynthia on Flickr.

Christmas Eve!! How did we get HERE already?? =D

Interesting stories for Day 24...which finds me...

*braving a last-minute grocery store run (Where I find another shopper's list wadded up in the grocery cart. I totally couldn't help myself--I grabbed it as I put the cart in the cart corral thing. The last few items on her list were: "tomatoes, red onions, cucumber, fresh parsley, gloves (bathroom), fresh jalapeno (2)." OH MY GOSH, this woman's making SALSA. FROM SCRATCH. I want to go to her house for Christmas!!!! LOL!!)

*taking funky heart-shaped light photos of my tree (So much fun playing with a digital camera!!)

*watching "It's a Wonderful Life" on TV (This is the very first time I've ever seen it. Yeah, I totally cried at the end.)

*writing down the absolute best quote from the movie...at least for me! ("You know what the three most exciting sounds in the world are? Anchor chains, plane motors and train whistles." ~George Bailey)

*dealing with the rain (We had to move our neighborhood luminary event to New Year's Eve. Kinda bummed about that. It's so pretty driving through the 'hood seeing all the roads lit up in the darkness. Ah well. We totally needed the rain!)



Merry Christmas to all of you!! Thank you all again for visiting, checking out my Dec Daily pages, and leaving sweet comments!! And thanks too for letting me reciprocate the visits. I have so enjoyed seeing your beautiful creations!
