I may have done a thing tonight just to include it in my December Daily... As you may know, tickets for the new Star Wars movie went on sale tonight. I orginally bought one ticket for a 6:00 p.m. showing, but then I found out about the 9 movie marathon. So I bought a ticket for that instead! Fortunately, I was able to get a refund from AMC for the first ticket I bought. This means I will spend more than 27 hours in the movie theater from December 18 through the 20th. My butt will be sore, and I won't get my steps in, but I will have a story to tell! I may also tie it into the time I went to a LOTR marathon when "Return of the King" was released. I am so stinking excited about this - it is well worth $85! LOL, my youngest brother chastised me about the cost, I think because he is jealous, and I told him the first ticket I bought was more than $18, so this one was a steal for all 9 movies, especially since it comes with a commemorative blanket! 😂 And to spread my excitement over a DD event I’m going to (technically on November 30 but close enough) We went to Sorcerer’s Stone in concert last year and it was amazing...indescribably perfect. I can’t WAIT. I’m myself, my sister and my husband our house scarves from Etsy to wear. ❤️❤️❤️

http://instagr.am/p/BrBSvaOB9vG Let’s see your favorite title pages. This is one of mine. I got the idea from someone here — the red wren. Scroll to the second image. The first is the stuff that’s sliding and melting off last years inside cover. I love how yours turned out. And I really love the snow globe! I have those and might have to do that too!

I’m feeling so grinchy this year. There seems to be so much DD chatter on Insta and the Facebook group and I am normal totally into it, but my order was so late leaving that it’s not even in my country yet! I’m a little annoyed since I ordered so quickly on the first day and didn’t add anything the whole month.
Blah.
I haven’t even worked on any new free cutfiles for this year, is there anything that you guys are looking for?
(You can find my past ones at paperandspool.com)

The angle of the photo is weird, so I couldn't figure it out. If you're thinking of doing something with song lyrics again, I would love something that includes lyrics from We Need a Little Christmas. I hope your package arrives soon!

This is the town next to me. I should go take a photo of it while it’s there and then one when I go to NYC for my December daily. You must!! Oh yes, I agree, you must! Before/after spread alert.

hop2, that guy is adorable, but I was hoping for a cut file so I could make him 6x8 and match my cookies. I still might get that SSS die though!

carolynhasacat I am using a FJ freebie (from a year or two past) gnome cut file and png in my album this year. He looks like this. I can see if I can share my Google Drive link so you can get both the png and the svg file.

Not sure I could sit through Episode I, II, and III again (I pretend they don’t exist) but I would give anything to see IV, V and VI in the theaters again. ❤️❤️❤️ That is amazing! My local theater does a Harry Potter event on his birthday every year, I wish they would do this for Star Wars (and I would totally skip episodes I, II, III as well).

I placed a very small order with FJ. I'd like to try those acetate pop-ins. I got the chipboard flair - as those are classic and unlike AE, I don't feel like I am getting gouged on them, the designs will go well with other LLP products and the puffies for the gnome. I like how clean and white FJs product are. If she got her product out quicker, I would be tempted to go with her kit vs buying bits and pieces from others.

I'm still on the fence about DD although I'm leaning towards giving it a try if I can figure out a plan that'll work for me - budget-wise and how we celebrate. We do Advent and then the 12 days of Christmas (through Epiphany) so it's a longer season.
I'm thinking about a organising by week of Advent and then the 12 days (numbered) and making it a page/day but filling it with decor/traditions on days we don't have actual photos (which I'll struggle a little with since I'm a chronological scrapper) BUT if I do bigger spreads in our family album for the photo heavy days I think that'll satisfy my chronology needs.
Advent conveniently begins Dec 1st this year so title page plus 24 Advent pages plus the 12 days of Christmas plus Epiphany so I'm looking at roughly 40 pages. Is 8x8 a reasonable album size? I would be printing 4x6 photos so I was thinking it wouldn't be too big for single photo days but I could use 2-3 (even 4) photos on some days if need be (obviously cropped).

Pottery Barn is selling gnome sheets and pillow covers, which I bought and plan on making a DD entry about.

I'm going to do my Christmas Count Down again this year for my kids. Each scroll had a coupon or ticket like 20 mins of extra TV time. I think I could make them all extra Xbox time and my kids would be in heaven. You can't see from the picture but I think I had two scrolls attached to each number, one for each kid and then I had their name at the top, so there was no fighting. I alternated what they were getting, so they both didn't get the same thing on the same day. I also tailored them to their different interests. They liked it a lot! I kept the tags, so I don't need to make them again, just the scrolls www.studiocalico.com/galleries/208617-december-count-downThe numbers are a Kerri Bradford stamp

So, I was browsing Asos and... A Christmas card that is an Advent calendar of British festive swear words and insults. Do you know how tempted I am to order it just to read what's behind all 24 windows? Inspiration for the turkey tits more *adventurous* December documenters: ETA: They got the scrapbook industry beat when it comes to the Christmas wrap pun designs, too.

I realised yesterday that I’m not at that level of excitement I’m usually at.. I also usually have Christmas freebies on my blog but I haven’t bothered updating the planner with this years calendar yet.. just not feeling it! I’m using your hexagon file this year- I save a pic for inspiration so I don’t forget.

I am sad that there probably won't be a Marie Lottermoser calendar this year. She hasn't posted anything in over a year. I hope everything is well for her and her family she was always so kind and made the most amazing albums (Christmas, Harry Potter, Travel) loved them all!
