Ramblings of a Stay-at-Home Mom

Finally able to sit down and complete my December Daily pages! I originally thought that I didn't have a story for the 22nd, but when I got home, I got a nice surprise from Keith and the girls.

We had a pretty laid back supper of pizza and chicken, let the kids play around and opened gifts.   [caption id="attachment_2567" align="alignnone" width="1379"] Filler cards from  Seasonal Snapshot Edition and journal card from  Hello December 2015 Edition on the Project Life App.  [/caption] Because I had so many photos from this evening, I made two 4x6 collages and put them together in the Project Life App. Days 24 + 25 will be up shortly!

Christmas Eve! And man, today was busy. I worked from 5am-1pm (and work was insane all day long!), and got home just in time to clean up a bit before Keith's Mom & Step-Dad stopped by for a quick visit before Keith went to work and I took the girls' to my Dad's place. Whew! Because I had a lot of photos, I made today into a 2-page spread, which worked really well. I took my favorite photo of Dominique outside with the barn cats, editied it in PicTapGo (my go to for easy photo editing), enlarged it to a 6x8, added some word art from Ali Edwards and called it good. And I love how it turned out.

Oh man, today was busy. We had Violet's Kindergarten Christmas Concert, where she did awesome! She did all her songs and poems with the rest of the school and behaved herself nicely. We also had my nephew's 4th birthday party in the evening, which was followed by my weekly Girls' Night with my best friends.

Food and an episode of White Rabbit Project on Netflix.

Phew! Finally getting this album done and blogged about! I really had nothing for today's story. I had some ideas floating around, but when I sat down, they all disappeared. Lol So I chose to do a really simple page for today. I chose my favorite word art, and used it to make a page. I used the digital word art from Ali Edwards   Christmas Star and  Heart Happy . I love the way it came together and how simple it looks.

Today's December Daily story is brought to you by my Mom's birthday and putting up her tree. [caption id="attachment_2515" align="alignnone" width="1379"] Filler and journal cards are from Hello December Kit on the Project Life App. [/caption] It's a yearly tradition that every year on my Mom's birthday, we all get together to celebrate and then help set-up and decorate the tree. This year my Mom and sister supervised, while the 2 big girls' decorated. And they had a blast.

Hello there and welcome to Day 17 of December Daily. Today's photo is pretty simple. I was able to go to church this evening and enjoy the Christmas songs and message and took a photo of the stage, just as it was. I put the date on there for reference, but just left it otherwise.

Welcome here! I'm participating in the December Daily project, put on by the wonderful Ali Edwards. I fell a little bit behind with getting sick and Christmas preparations. But I'm back to creating my pages and posting them here for display. Today's story is of the Christmas hamper that my Mom signed us up for. I'm always surprised at how much they give, and always feel very blessed. For this page in the Project Life app, I used the card from the Oh What Fun Christmas Value Kit and just did my jouraling on there. Really liked how it turned out.
