December Daily Update

Playing a bit of catch up as it seems the holiday season always goes.  My youngest son, Ethan,made up his Santa list. The little pic at the bottom isn't actually a self portrait with Santa but with Harry Potter. Yes, Harry is still a prominent fixture in our house again this year-especially after viewing Part 1 of #7 last Fri. The other portion of my day 5 was a small collection of pictures of our local Christmas parade, of which my eldest, Ian played in the band. (Drums).






Here is a retake of my Day 6 as I finished the pages at night and the lighting conditions were less than optimum.


 Still love that I was able to incorporate the package of my newest favorite Christmas tradition: Dove Peppermint bark Promises!!


The paper on the left side was a free download off of eighteentwentyfive's blog. I love
it wanted to be sure it ended up in my album. Still need to complete the rest of Day 9's layout. Getting there.


Day 10 (left side) is a photographed image of an art project that Ethan made last week. Handprint Christmas tree. I love it and it is already hanging up in our house. Will definitely be cherishing that little piece for years to come.





More to follow! Thanks for looking.

  3. @Ann-Marie,
    Thank you! The background is a free download from www.thecutestblogontheblock. I use a Canon 20D DSLR. The lens I used for these pics was a 24-70mm f/2.4L. (I saved up for it for quite awhile!) However, I am really pleased with a 50mm/1.8 lens I bought for ~$75.00
    HTH!

  6. Your album looks great and love that you have a Christmas parade, how cool is that. Thank you for the idea of putting in the download from eighteen25, I also printed them and have them in frames around my house and planned on a few as gifts. This will look great in my album. Love the Santa list your son made, is this on scrapbook paper?
