I have had a blast creating my December Daily this past month. I decided to make it a little different than most, by making it more of a creation daily. This means I create something daily or something that someone has given me as the month as gone along, from a friend, a swap, or my kids!! Plus I had to throw a few fun pictures into the mix too!!
I have created a series of video starting with setting up the book, and then adding to the book each week. Here is the book set up video.
Here is the fun front cover.
I used supplies from my Canvas Corp Brands Christmas kit (link below) to help start the book, but as I went along lots of other fun stuff went into as well. My goal was to create a little fun something each day during the month of December adding them to the little paper bag envelopes each day. Here is the 1st week video.
I loved being able to use some of the amazing creation crafty friends had given me in some of my fun crafty swaps, so I popped them into the book as well. I also added in some fun notes about what was doing on that day on the back of some cards.
December is just jammed pack with a ton of events, from parties, end of year school events, and getting ready for Christmas. I had to include some fun little personal events into the book as well. Here is week 2 video.
Here I did a mix of a family tradition and also a fun new event of my son laying in his first band concert!
I sometimes I gave the entire page, instead of just a little pocket, for that day. Here is the video for week 3.
It was fun to just create and have fun putting in fun events into the book. I had no set agenda for what should be in the book, and this gave me a sense of freedom for how it was made.
I loved to put in items my friends made for me. I do a ton of swaps and to add these items into my book made it even more special to me. Here is the video for week 4.
I feel so blessed to have so many crafty friends. Check out the day filled with some of their art!!
I also loved to add in items my kids made for me. My daughter made a ton to put in my book, plus she loved to look at it and see everything that I added to it. Here is the video from week 5.
Just check out her cute little Elsa bead craft mt daughter made me!!
A December daily can be whatever you want it to be Do not feel like to have to follow a mold or a set formula, make it your own. Crafting is fun not a chore!!!
