Join me in a *December Daily*...

A friend recently asked me to join her this year in creating a December Daily scrapbook.

At first, I thought...no way, I don't have time for something like that...my son is 4 1/2 and I still have yet to complete even 1 YEAR of his life in a scrapbook...

But, it intrigued me...so I decided to dig further...
& I am sooo glad I did!...

I can sooooooooooooooo do this!
How fabulous to take a little bit of my day to put together a scrapbook counting down the days of the month I LOVE more than any other...

& how fabulous for my son to have one day when I am looong gone...
(hopefully, that is a really long time from now...) 

So, *deep breath*...I am diving in and getting set up...
I figure, I have 2 weeks to get my book started...dig out all my scrapbook stuff sitting in my hall closet...and GET CREATIVE!!!

I'll let you know how it goes!...

Check out some pictures below.  This is a basic layout of what is on her site...(listed above)

It is basically a scrapbook you put together in the days leading up to Christmas...beginning December 1st and continuing til' December 25th.
 
It can consist of pictures of decorations around your house...your children making cookies...pieces of anything in your daily travels while Christmas shopping...lists of gifts...family receipes...journal entries...
anything really...
just a way to creatively record your 2010 memories of the month
(that seem to fly by faster and faster each year...)









She has included step-by-step directions and photos on her blog...
(& there are a TON!!!)...
which is both inspiring and full of information!

There are links on each page if you desire to purchase any of the materials she has used...

So, come on friends...you have 2 weeks to prepare...
get your creative hats on and join me!
