Tricky vs. Shifty

Feel like I didn't do a whole lot yesterday, but I did - just not much that I wanted to record in my December Daily album (I started Aziz's present, and I was right, my sewing machine is messed up. I didn't get any further than cut out all the pieces. Hopefully Scott's mother can lend me her sewing machine).

( Christmas Cheer )

So I put day 5 in the title of my last post, but didn't actually include it. Whoops!
( Let's see if I can remember both this time )

Dec 3, 2011 - One of a Kind Craft Show and Sale!



There were so many awesome things that I wanted to buy for myself! I did buy a few things for myself (a beautiful letterpress calendar! A fancy winter hat!), but I mainly stuck to my Christmas shopping list - knocked off some stuff for Scott, Stacey, Laura & Zaid, Mum & Dad, and got ideas for stuff to make for Stacey and Sue. We were at the show for ages, but it was pretty great.

Well, hello there, poor, neglected LJ. How have you been doing? Good, I hope.

I popped on Saturday morning, briefly, out of the blue. And I'm glad I did! I read back as far as I could on my friends page, and of the many interesting posts, one in particular caught my eye - it was keyframe's one where she detailed how she was going to do a December Daily album.

So I spent most of the day yesterday braving the insane parking lot of the local craft store, and putting together my foundation pages for my very own December Daily 2011. I like the idea of doing something to mark every day leading up to Christmas, for a time of year that I particularly enjoy. I think it will help me do some interesting things, too, so that I have something good to put in my album!

Plus, since I spent all that time on it already, so much so that my back was killing me by last night, that I'm pretty certain I'll actually complete it! After all, it's only 25 days long. I should be able to do it.

So thanks for that inspiration, keyframe!
