December Daily 2011 - album cover

Long time no blog.  Every time I say I'm going to get better at blogging this year, life gets in the way.  Oh well. 

I did finally finish my December Daily album cover for this year and get all my pages punched and cut.  I used a 6x6 Crate Peppermint pad for some of the pages (glued back to back) and cut down some MME 12 Days of Christmas papers for the rest of the pages.  I have some Ormolu numbers for the pages.  I do need to get my foundation done for journaling.  I plan on using a two-page spread for each day.  One side will hold a 4x6 or multiple small photos and the opposing side will have the journaling.

Here is the album.  A Bo Bunny 6x6 chipboard album.

Pardon the messy work area.  Remnants of the December Bigger than a Breadbox Apron Strings kit (which is awesome, by the way.)

I'll be finishing up the inside page layouts this week...which is good since December is Thursday.

Back from vacation.

And this was my favorite photo:

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!  Hope everyone had as much fun as they did!

I'm kind of excited.

Too bad March is 6 months away.

The choice for Cinna is growing on me.

Never forget.

To all the men and women who lost their lives 10 years ago today and to all the men and women who continue to serve and protect our nation, thank you.

Cleaning and organizing

And, maybe blogging?  Hopefully.  Summer was far too busy and one thing that got pushed back was blogging.  Along with cleaning and organizing my scrap area.  Now that the girls are back in school (Ava in Kindergarten?? What!??) I hope to have a little bit of time for my blog. 

We spent the summer visiting the grandparents' cottages and hung out (a lot) on the beach.  The girls had a blast.  I am a little happy to finally not be packing a suitcase every week. 

Tuesday was the first day of school.  Ava started Kindergarten.  I'm still in denial.  Sometimes she loves it, other times she doesn't.  Usually that corresponds to morning/afternoon. She's pretty whipped by the time I get home from work.  Alexa is loving 2nd grade, she practically did cartwheels to class she was so excited to go back.

I'll have to load up some pictures soon.

Hello Spring? Are you there?

Because, you are certainly not here.  I don't know if you realize this, but your cousin, Fall, is hanging around.  It's rainy, cold and windy.  Maybe Fall is confused?  It's definitely not early November.  Please send Fall away, and spend the rest of the season here.

Thanks,
Maria
