I finished my DD album, except for adding a few more photos and some journaling but it's done! I'm so proud of myself for finishing it. A sense of completion feels great.

|Desk Mess|
My desk was in a complete mess after finishing my album but for some reason I love cleaning it up and organizing things. Now to start Project Life and some V-Day goodies. Have a great weekend!
I finally managed my way thru pages 1-10 today of my DD. I spent some time during the week working on it but it really all came together for me today. I'm glad that I'm sticking thru with trying to complete the album this year. I really want to have these memories to look back on years from now. My approach to doing the album was to "Keep It Simple" KIS! My new motto when it comes to creating. I can get more done without trying to over-complicate each and every project.

I've been loving seeing the pics across the net of babies and Christmas lights for photos. We attempted this today with her leopard santa hat that that I'm loving. I got it from Target.
----------------------------------------------------------------------*December Daily Album*------------
|Day 1| I kept it simple on the left with just a few words that meant the most to me this year *love, peace, hope, gratitude and thankful*.
|Day 2| Included a picture of myself and what I had on my list for Christmas this year *iMac, camera lens, MAC, new living room furniture (I've had the same set 8 years now), a new home and a pair of Jeffrey Campbell's. I wanted to at least document myself once this year.
|Day 3| I wanted to keep Aniyah's Christmas list that she wrote down so I included it. Her list is extremely long this year. We'll see how good Santa is to her.
|Day 4| A simple day with only a picture of our wreath hanging on the door.
|Day 5| Aniyah broke my cell phone and it made me so mad. I told her 2 minutes prior to put it up and it ended up costing me $130 to fix.
|Day 6| I kept this day simple as well with just a snowflake. It called for a chance of snow so I thought it fit the mood of the day.
|Day 7| My love for Starbucks! I couldn't do an album without including it and especially this year since I'm loving the Tazo Tai Chi Latte.
|Day 8| It includes one of my favorite pics of Aniyah. She loves her fur vest and so do I.
|Day 9| Love her leopard hat and the Christmas lights
|Day 10| I always encourage Aniyah to be creative. She was bored and while I was working I told her to be creative also and make Christmas cards.
---------> My approach to this album is just documenting those moments I want to remember. I've kept it very simple yet I'm enjoying the process. I do work on my album daily even though I don't post daily but I'm hoping to do better.
------------------I used another album that I had on hand for my Halloween album this year. I still need to add my photos to it but we enjoyed it this year. I've gotten more into decorating this year and hope to do more next year. This was a 7 gypsies house album that was part of Jenni Bowlin's monthly project kit. I can't remember which month but I was hoarding the album. I used a lot of the Echo Park Apothcary collection on this and used some glitter and glossy accents on the cover.
When my Paper Moon kit arrived in the mail, I knew that I was not used to scrapping with more "boy" themed papers. I wasn't sure what I was going to do but I thought about our trip to San Antonio and that my nephews will be with us so I decided to use the kit to make an album for them. I already had this 8x8 album that I did nothing with so I will be using it. I'll post the completed album when we return.
