The gusto I had for this year's little December Daily book has gradually dissipated over the course of the month and here on Dec. 28 I find myself woefully behind on this project. Here are a few (really bad) photos of some of the pages from earlier this month that I did manage to complete:
My page for December 3 is always going to be about my grandpa, because that was and always will be, his birthday. And after I finished this page lickety-split, I realized that I used the exact same photo in last year's book. Which made me think about how much fun I made of an old friend in junior high for wearing the same sweater for school pictures two years in a row. But, the photo stays. It's one of my favorites so it's no surprise that I used it again without realizing it. That's me!
Another super-easy page:I just cut our holiday card to fit the page size and stuck it on there. Even though I've only put minimal effort into my pages, I am still behind! Oh well. I will make some time in the next few days to finish the book.
What I have learned is that I don't like working with such a small size book that is already bound. It has made this a little less fun for me. I've already decided that I'll go with a much bigger size and not bind it all together until it's finished. Much more fun that way. Funny how I'm planning for next year when I haven't even finished this year's book. I'm good at that. Sometimes the planning is just as much fun as the doing, don't you think?
