A few December Daily shots

I apologize for the bad lighting… just thought I would throw a few shots of my DD up here. I don’t have any real shots of the actual pages because a) I am SO not anywhere done this and b) I am not happy with it. I am on the fence about whether I should have done it in the first place… actually, I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t have, but you know how it is when you’re inspired, right? I do take one real positive out of this. I used up SO MUCH of my stash. And I also learned alot, so that’s great. But trying to do this, on top of Project Life 365? Not smart. I’m already documenting each day. My thought was that I’d keep this one festive, and the other one more of the “everyday”. It didn’t work out quite like I planned, and I ended up feeling sooo overwhelmed.

That said, I am already SO excited to start December Daily next Christmas. By then, Project Life 365 will be complete and I will have nothing else hogging so much of my time. I can’t wait to really delve into this Christmas 2012

Here’s a few shots of what I considered to be the funnest part – assembling the album

It is soooooooo good to be back!

Today is the first day I can honestly say I feel caught up. Too bad I didn’t feel like this BEFORE Christmas! This was definitely a “frazzled” holiday for me this year! I am usually organized to a tee… but this year overwhelmed me… oh well. You win some, you lose some.

I guess it started when I woke up Christmas Eve to find that Morris and most of Southern Manitoba was about to be dumped on BIG TIME with a storm. Our plans were to go to my Aunt’s for my family Christmas, and then on to my BFF’s parents for our annual tradition, coming home that night. But since we were set to receive between 15-20 cm’s overnight, we made the decision to stay in the city, JUST IN CASE we got snowed in on Christmas Day. So that also meant packing up for my SIL’s Christmas as well… Hectic! I frantically ran around the house packing every gift I could find, ever morsel of food I had planned to bring… you get the idea. It’s a good thing Johnny was coming home after me from work to change and shower, because I forgot ALOT. HA!

Christmas turned out to be great, as per usual. No matter what, that Christmas spirit always rings true this time of year. Amidst all the frazzle-ness, I still felt as happy as I always do. Watching the kids open presents, no matter how old they get, is always thrilling… And my two “little” cousins turned 18 a few days before Christmas, too! Exciting!

From Johnny, I got a trip to VEGAS! YAY! What an amazing gift! He also got me a bottle of my fave wine and a huuuge scrapbooking set, which I plan on putting to use after I’m done this blog post. I also got a ton of Olympic Gear so I will be all decked out for the games in February. New Moon stuff (of course), a beeeeeautiful expresso mirror for my living room, some super comfy PJ’s, Slippers and Robe, a beautiful scarf and SO CUTE cupcake magnets… I got spoiled! And as much fun as all that is, I had SO much fun planning and picking out everyone’s gifts this year…

Isn’t giving always funner than receiving? I guess it’s a little cliche, but I think it is.

So two questions for today’s survey… what did YOU get for Christmas and what was your favorite Christmas moment this year?

I’ll post later this week with scrappy stuff and Christmas pics!

Happy Holidays everyone!
