DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 14
Here are my pages for day fourteen.
I decided today I will write letters to both my kids. The front is David.
and the back is Nathaniel.
I sewed the papers on to the fabric and will slide my letter inside.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 13
Here are my pages for day thirteen.
Since I don't really have any other photos, day thirteen is about our *fun* time in Gilroy.
same journaling I put on the post below.
In quite a bit of pain today but mostly my back not my nose.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 12
Here are my pages for day twelve.
Hard to tell from this shot but the photo has journaling all around it.
and the back is about out trip to the model train exhibit.
One of the things I noticed in the last month was that I really like stitching on my layouts. It's hard to do that on this album since both sides are pre-prepared. So I did this on a separate sheet and then adhered it.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 11
Here are my pages for day eleven.
I loved this fabric so I wanted to not cover it.
and the back celebrates David being the Shabbat helper:
I have so many mixed feelings about this album. I love documenting our family but on one side I wish I were craftier, on the other side I wish it were plainer and more classic, and everything in between. Then I remind myself it's about documenting. About being present. Everything else is icing. And documenting, we are.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 10
Here are my pages for day ten.
This one is actually a continuation of day nine since we did the wreath on the 9th.
and the tenth:
Keeping it simple still.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 9
Here are my pages for day nine.
I wanted to honor the baking and avocados so two simple pages today with photos and words.
and the back:
Sad that we're almost on day ten.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 8
Here are my pages for day eight.
I changed the cover cause I wanted to journal because the inside page of this is just a photo.
here's the inside. I love the colors I see on my drive to David's school and I wanted to capture it so I could remember forever:
On the back, I just put our Christmas tree.
Still keeping it simple.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 7
Here are my pages for day seven.
Just a few words from Jake's storytelling.
and the little boy with one of my digital overlays from a while ago.
I'm loving this book. This is definitely my favorite project all year.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 6
Here are my pages for day six.
Simple pages today.
here's the back:
that's it.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 5
Here are my pages for day five.
Photos with Santa.
without the cover.
and the ornaments we made at the event:
simple day today.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 4
Here are my pages for day four.
This is from the playground we went to in the afternoon, I just wanted to capture it.
the back.
and the pages from the train of lights.
the back.
inside the envelope are the tickets for the trip.
and when I open the flap.
and the back.
Happy day 4.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 3
Here are my pages for day three.
This is a simple one. About making ornaments yesterday.
and the back:
And a closeup.
Yey for another day.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 2
Here are my pages for day two.
David decorating the tree.
For the back, I wanted to do something fun so I made a tree using some fabric and adhered some beads. That's it.
And here's a closer look:
Still not on top of our schedule and todos but working on it.
DECEMBER DAILY 2009 - DAY 1
Here are my pages for day one.
I really loved the fabric on the page so I didn't want to cover it. I just added a little angel and sewed pearls around her head to give the feeling of a halo.
here's a closer shot:
And then on the back, I put the photo that I love from our trip and journaled right on the photo. Sweet, simple and colorful.
I am trying to keep it simple and focused on words and photos.
