Days 14 & 15 - Target for some decorations. A coffee date & the cutest mini snowman candle & candies from my hair stylist |
More decorations. This was one of the times I wished that I had a larger space to work with so I didn't have so many extra pages. |
The lights are staying in my office year round. Sorry for the bad light quality. |
Days 17 & 18 - our first light dusting of snow & a trip to the North Market with my parents. |
Day 19 - a beautiful handmade scarf from my friend Abby (check out her shop). A handmade card from Kathy & another card from Monique (all 3 are fellow bloggers I met this year - lucky me) |
Day 20 is a movie theater gift card we received from M's Dad & step mom. |
We saw Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol & The Adventures of Tin Tin in 3D. Both were very good in different ways. |
Days 21 & 22 - It was 55 degrees at 7:30 am. 7:30. A.M. Definitely not Christmasy weather. Picture of our candle lights on the night of the winter solstice. |
Day 23 - wrapping presents & packing them up to take to my parents. |
This is the back side of Day 22 & is just some info I printed about the meaning & origin of the solstice. |
Days 24 & 25. Christmas traditions with my parents & their tree. |
From my Dad's side of the family- we always have New England Clam Chowder on Christmas Eve & strawberry shortcake on Christmas morning. |
More of my parents' decorations & the cutest picture of my parents opening one of their gifts from us. |
I am so glad I took this & have it documented. It makes me smile. |
Day 26 & the final pages - More Christmas lights around Columbus |
This holds a few odds & ends I didn't find a place for in the book but wanted to keep. |
And this envelope holds the calendar I used to take notes & plan my page layouts |
Pretty thick huh? |
This is the side by side comparison so you can see the
before & after.
Phew. That was a lot of pictures but you were warned. :) Thanks for your comments, support & encouragement. Now that this is finished, it's on to the next big creative project, which I'll be sharing with you on Fri. Until then...take care & Happy Wednesday.

OMG! I LOVE THIS!!! i'm glad the pom-poms on the card stuck; they kept on falling off when i was making the card until i found better sticky things :)
what a lovely keepsake, danielle!
Now you have a gorgeous record of December 2011!
@Kathy-Thanks! Your card was so adorable. It hung on my office wall until I finished the album & X-mas was over.
@Linda-I was a little surprised that I stuck w/ it & am so glad that I did. I can't wait to pull it out next year & reminisce.
