December Daily Day 5 - 10

Day Five is my gorgeous lovely morning coffee! I wasn't feeling all that Christmassy so I added a tag that says "He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree"

Day six was my internet free day. I read for a while and played with my Instax camera. I have a few inserts to add to these pages.

A picture of my Mom's winter hat, a bit of packaging of a Strepsils box and day seven.

Day Eight - our favourite carollers. This is a window cling that I grabbed last year.

A close up of the glitter I added to the center of the icicles.

Day 9. A lovely warm shot of the coffee jar. I used a piece of wrapping paper as the back drop.

Day Ten. I did take my compact digi to town this photograph of a Lindt Snowman taken with my dSLR is much better.

I can't believe that we are already two weeks into December and my Dec Daily is already quite big! *Sigh* How's your Dec Dailies?

9 December 2011

Three days without the internet has been quite nice. Coming back to a bunch of emails and blogs to read though. This photograph was taken on the 2nd - today is blue sky is a bit paler.... And I think I need to start putting on my lamp when I wake up otherwise I just fall back asleep for a few more hours.

It's day nine of December Daily and I've been journaling and taken photographs. I'm making notes about which photographs I am using each day so it will be easier to print them out at the weekend. Just took today's photograph while I was making my coffee.

I've taken a bunch of photographs so I have back ups in case I don't find anything to photograph on certain days. It's already getting a little difficult trying to think of things!

It's getting colder every day! Not nice when I have to go out to work! Having problems with the storage draws made from chipboard - they just don't seem to want to stay together!!!! I am so glad that today is Friday. Our weekend is already full with to do lists and craft items that need to be started/finished. I'm not sure if I want to take my dSLR camera out with me. Hmmm....

What are your plans for the weekend?

December Daily (Days 1,2,3 & 4)

I've never even heard of December Daily before but this year I've decided to join and create my own. I used some free Christmas papers I had from last year and folded them in half - making them about 6"x2".

The front of my journal. Using old letter stickers and a velvet flocked tartan Christmas tree that I've had in my stash for a few years.

The first of December is just a self portrait. I like the soft yellow lighting. And I have already lost a "t"

Day Two is my lovely work boots. My journaling is really simple. One or two sentences about the day and the weather.

Day Three is my birthday so I have a double page for this day. Photographs of the cards I received. Journaling is on a sticky label.

It was just me and Mom most of the day so we got out the decorations and tried sorting through them. Throwing out the lights which don't light and the really old things. The little polaroid snap is Birthday present. A few people had these Instant Polaroid cameras in Italy and they looked like so much fun - Thank You Mom. So I used this camera to take a self portrait in the mirror.

Day Four. Mom took a photo of me in my DB and DSIL's house. We stopped by for a while and came away with a vegetarian cookbook, a couple plants and a bag of apples! Me and Mom both took our cameras to take some shots but it started raining and was getting cold so we decided to come back to hide home.

Just a general shot of Mom crafting....

A Random Cookie Thing

Tried the melted snowman cookies yesterday. Didn't work with the ready-made icing. We definitely need the make your own icing sugar! At least we have a bunch of yummy cookies with thick vanilla icing to eat.
