It's a new month and the last one of the year. Are you doing a JYC or DD project? Do you have holiday cards or gifts to finish up? Or a project you're working on? Here's the place to share what you're hoping to do this month and update us on how you're doing.

December isn't usually a very crafty month for me - it's so busy in other ways. So I'm keeping my list short and realistic this month
-write out and mail Christmas cards
-make a Hannukah card
-take photos
-print photos
-type up pandemic journalling for Oct and Nov

Well I’d like to:
Add some final touches to Oct 2020 PL
Prep Nov 2020 pictures
Print Nov 2020 pictures
Print digital November items
Finish Nov 2020 PL
Keep current in my memory planner ( does it still count as a goal if it’s become just a habit now?)
I know that sounds like a lot but it probably isn’t Nov might be 2 pages plus an insert if I’m lucky.

Yikes, I need to finish up my Christmas cards and get them mailed out.
And I also want to work on my December books and fill in some of the empty pockets. Yesterday I received a delivery from ACOT that included an ephemera pack from Photoplay's Festival of Lights, and I'm excited to see what I can do with it

-send out Christmas cards
-try to work on DD *daily*. First year for me.
-take my time finishing OLW for 2020. And not get started on OLW for 2021 UNTIL the new year. I don't have a
word yet, anyways.
-set aside my scavenging for my Willa Journals class. In case anyone likes mixed media art journals, Wendy, @willa.wonders on IG, makes
these very cool art journals. She is offering an on line class that starts January 1. I'm looking forward to building my own art journal.

Send out a few Christmas cards
Work on December Daily most days
Think about a OLW for next year (I haven't a clue what it should be this time round)
Think about how I'm going to memory keep in 2021
Drink all the ginger wine and eat all the mince pies.

I have two themed albums I'll be focusing on in December. A 12x12 Disney album and an 8x8 travel album. I'm going to start with making kits for each project.

I'm mildly starting to panic (although I feel like this every year)
In-progress
FIL Tree Album - he's been going to the same Christmas tree farm for over 40 years - I'm making a TN sized album for him. I started putting all the collage pages together this weekend. I have to finish up, print and then assemble
Next-up
MIL Floret Flower Mini - I bought seeds from Floret Flower & a Floret Flower book - each page is a photo of the flowers & on opposite sides the seed packet. In the back is a how to grow guide
and somewhere in the mix - make Christmas tags + my DD

I have a weekend retreat house crop in a couple of weeks that hopefully doesn't get cancelled. There are only 4 of us going, and we can all have our own bedroom, and plenty of crop space to spread out. I have a bunch of kits I've been saving up to do. One kit is for a 2-page layout for each month, and I have January to September in hand. I also have a cookbook to work on.
I will also work on my Christmas cards to send out by mid-month.
I've been making an effort to scrapbook more at home, even if it's only a few minutes a day. It can be cleanup from the previous day, or setting up a layout to work on. I need to keep doing this, because it's working, and I'm enjoying myself!

Holy cow! December already?!
I need to finish uploading November photos & have them printed.
I make my December Modified (like DD, but not everyday) in January, when the pics are printed. But I write journaling and collect bits & bobs for it all month long.
I want to keep up on my pandemic album journaling. Especially now with the beginning of a vaccine roll out. I need to decide how I will continue it in 2021. I also need to speak to the fact that it's been about a year since this all started, and what a year it has been.

I have one big plan and will have to get it done this weekend. I decided to make a baby book for my niece and one for her mom, my sister in law, for niece's baby born in July. I have faithfully printed out the photos so posts plus some she sent me, and have made an album with a 2 page spread for each month, starting in August. The beginning of the book is pregnancy, birth, and family like a page with mom, a page with dad, etc. SIL's book is similar but much fewer photos.
One thing I am happy about is including the grandparents who live in England. She sent me a photo of them and I did a page with the baby's first passport photo and them, because of Covid they can't meet yet. But I wanted them to be included. So anyway, these two books will be finished this weekend.
Then I am going to rework the fold out pages of my sons in front of the fireplace each year for the past 26 years. I have more photos now and so the entire thing needs to be realigned and another fold out added. We took the photo just before DS2 moved to California the 1st of November.
When I finish I will come back and post a few photos.

I tried to do December Daily for the first time last year. I did about 6 pages, then didn't bother doing any more. It seemed kind of pointless as the pages were a double up of photos used in my Project Life.
Speaking of Project Life, I still haven't started my PL 2020 yet. In fact I haven't even decided on a format. I just bought a big bundle of digital PL-style cards, so I'm hoping that will inspire me. If not, I'll just have to use them for PL 2021.

My Christmas layouts are kept separate from my everyday layouts, but I don't double up. Good luck with your PL! Ya know, I find sometimes putting albums together after the fact gives me some perspective on what feels important to include. |

I'd like to finish my cruise album this month. I have about 13 more double layouts to do. I don't currently work, have no kids at home, and have pages already completed without pictures. I also have all of my Christmas shopping done, it is all wrapped (except for a few that haven't been delivered), and made extra tags tonight. Will I get it done? Probably not.

I have two themed albums I'll be focusing on in December. A 12x12 Disney album and an 8x8 travel album. I'm going to start with making kits for each project. I did put together those kits and I'm about 3/4 done scrapping the smaller album. I also scrapped several 12x12 layouts but didn't track exactly how many. First on my list for January is to finish that smaller album on Monday so I can move on to the Disney album. I really want that done. |
