Finished! 😁
Twenty 12x12 pages.
This year I did a few things differently when documenting the holidays.
One, I didn't force journaling or supporting detail photos. Sometimes I get too caught up in showing all the details, and it just looks like a hodge podge, with no clear focus. This year I let less tell more.
Two, I was in a ton of photos, with & without my kids. I took selfies. I used the camera timer. I also asked the older kids to take pics with me more.
Three, I didn't use the holiday stamps that I've used over & over again for several years. I'm tired of the same images. I bought Jolees instead and it was easier and made me happier.

About 80% finished with my album. Taking my time and really enjoying the process this time around. Having so much fun with 3x8 size, more than I thought I would.

I've been busy. I got Dec. 13 & 14 onto tags and "hidden" between pages last night. This morning, I've finished Dec. 15, 16, & 17 as well as adding in two extra stories. Finally, I think I've got the rest of the book planned. I have the pictures divided up and the concepts of what type of pages they will be. I'm excited to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

I thought I would finish on Saturday, but got to the 30th and realized I forgot to finish printing pictures. lol
We saw my brother and his family over New Years, so I am putting those pictures on the 31st. It was late on Saturday when I realized I was out of pictures so set it aside for now and will finish up this week some night after I figure out which pictures I want to include. Hard to narrow down all the cute pictures of my 6 year nephew when he is opening presents!!

Done!! Finished on Sunday. 3x8 album was a refreshing change but in normal years (non pandemic) our celebrations go to the 1st. I just squeezed through the 25th. Hopefully they can make a larger spins on those albums.

I’m making a mini album of the pets and a mini of the light show we saw and then I’ll be done. Forcing myself to tackle this last little bit! Ready to move on!!

Still haven't started.... I had big plans for getting this project done, but it's been a comedy of errors. First, my adorable 3 year old had an "accident" on my laptop. Thankfully it was covered, but it took time to get a replacement. I know I could have sent out my pictures to get edited and printed elsewhere, but I figured, hey, I'll have time to get it done in January, no big deal. I'm self-employed, but the industry I'm in is really slow in January and February. Well, not this year. It has been super busy. I don't mind, because I like getting paid , but it has cut into my potential crafting time. My new goal is to get it done before this Christmas...

I’ve managed to get through Dec 23 completed - the day my sweet niece was born. Pictures for Dec 24, 25, and Sister Game Night (virtually this year) are printed. I know what I’m doing for those pages and have the base pages cut. I should be able to wrap this project up this weekend. I’m so excited to be almost finished! This is a half cut page. It has a flap that opens on the top and bottom.

Thanks for the suggestion, joblackford! Between all that and having three boys under 7 who we are homeschooling until who knows when, I'm sure I'll still be working on this in July!

Omg I finished our lights pictures!! All I have left are the pets pix and I’m doing pockets for those and they are all in pockets. All I have to do is journal and add some washi for decor.
I have my project all over the living room floor and I want to shampoo our carpets. Lol so I’m so ready to finish this project! I’m not letting myself put the last bit away for “later” because I’ll never finish!! Tomorrow I’m taking my daughter back to her college campus, and maybe later in the day I’ll have time to finish. Yippee!

I'm done--and by done I mean actually done with all of the journaling and embellishing!!! I'm sure if I went back through some past years I'd find unfinished parts.
I even reorganized my DD supplies and can put them away...but can someone please please please remind me not to buy anything next year???

I liked your post not because I liked your post, what your dealing with. It was an empathy like. We are here whenever you do get time to do it and need inspiration whatever month that might be😀

I'm joining you!! despite all the best laid plans, I just lived in Jan this year and didn't do much at all my DD.... I just finished days 13 and 14 over the past weekend, and will just chip away at what is left. I want it done before the end of November as I do want to then be working in this year's album - however that may look!

I started my 2020 album finally. I'm waiting for more ink to come in the mail (I literally had full ink cartridges in my printer but I haven't scrapped in so long that they dried out).
I already planned out all my pages (drew story boards), edited all of my photos, got my page protectors in order (if I'm using them), and slotted cards in preliminarily based on layout and color.

I am waiting on my Epson picture mate to arrive next week, and then I’m hoping to start my 2020 album soon after. I’m excited!

I was up until 4 a.m. this morning, but I got half of my DD completely done and the other half just needs journaling and embellishments. All photo printing and such are done.
I’m paying for it this afternoon though 😂
