Day 6 - It's the Little Things

Except that today, my little thing is a really BIG thing! My littlest man and his WHOLE SCHOOL went to see the Nutcracker today:

It was quite the undertaking! Nine hundred students as well as teachers and parent volunteers boarded 19 buses!!! Unfortunately (at least for me) the performance was quite disappointing. It was shortened quite a bit (for the students' benefit, I'm sure) and a lot of the best parts were left out. On a happy note...we finally have SNOW!!!!

And here it is added to my layout:

Have a GREAT day!

Day 5 - The View From Here

Our photo assignment today was to capture our view. I was REALLY hoping for snow so I could take a pic of my view with the snow falling...but no such luck.

Here's my pic (if you look really close, you can see some Christmas lights):

And here it is added to my Daily December Layout:

Have a GREAT day!

Day 4 - Just a little peace and quiet

Our assignment today was to photograph something that brought us peace at this crazy time of year...for me...that's baking.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Day 3 - All You Need is Love

Our theme for today is "All you need is love". Many people chose hearts as their image. I chose this:

My Caroline and I had a silly misunderstanding today and we're pretty sure it's because we were BOTH PMS'ing at the SAME TIME! We probably should have written down on a calendar that somehow our cycles have now synced, but I guess it never occurred to us. YIKES!!!

Anyway...feelings were hurt, tears were shed and she bought me some flowers. We both agreed to just pretend like today never happened...good plan!!!

Here's my updated layout:

Have a GREAT day everyone!

Day 2 - Reframe the Holidays

Our assignment for today was to "Reframe the Holidays". Some of the photos in the gallery are GORGEOUS! Lots of photos of the outside through window "frames"...there is even one pic of two little boys holding a frame above their heads - SUPER cute!

I decided to change the image in my Stampin' UP! "frame"...the Simply Adorned Jewelry I wear every day.

Here's my day 2:

I can't wait to see this whole page filled out!

Photo a Day

Each year, for a few years now, I've started off in January with this wonderful intention of capturing a photo a day.

Each year, for a few years now, I never seem to QUITE make it all the way to the end of the year...OK, I never even GET close, but who's keeping track?

This year, I thought I'd try something new and start in December. To that end, I've jumped on board with Big Picture Classes and took a class entitled "Picture the Holidays".

This will be a digital scrapping kind of thing because that way, I don't have to mess around with taking out paper every day and I can just keep it all in one place - YAY!! And, to make my life infinitely easier, I'm using a pre-made template designed by Katie Pertiet at Designer Digitals and you can find it here.

So...here's day 1:

This is a pic of the pyjamas that I bought for my "sister" Caroline and I. My mom started this tradition when my sister Wendy and I were little and we've both continued it with our families. This year, I decided to include my Caroline in the tradition as well. We call each other "sister", but we are only sisters of the heart. We are BFF's and I love her just as much as I do my own sister. We are so much alike, we were destined to be friends!

Why don't you join me and start your own December to remember? Slow down and enjoy the season!
