DECEMBER DAILY

It's a funny thing about intentions.  We all have them and many succeed in actually doing them.  Every year it is my intention to do an album leading up to Christmas like Ali Edwards does.  Years have gone by without success.  This year I really do intend doing it.  I am so sure I will succeed this year because I already have the album made.  All I have to do each day is take a photo, write a bit of journaling, and embellish the page.  Sounds easy, right?  Wish me luck!
Here's a photo of my album just waiting to be filled with gorgeousness...sorry it's so dark.

...here's a couple of the pages--

It's a great way to use some of those swap items that have been stashed away waiting for a good way to use them.  I only hope my album turns out as nicely as Ali Edwards's always does!

How will I remember everything in 2010?

I'll be using my newly downloaded ebook Scrapbooker's All-in-One Memory Log Book for 2010.  I downloaded it last night and spent most of the morning printing it out.  I opted for the ebook because I wanted to personalize it.  I heard about the book from members on the Jessica Sprague general forum.

I love things like this but sometimes I get overwhelmed and don't carry things through -- like the 2009 365 Project.  I had good intentions but life got in the way.

This book, however, is perfect for me because all I have to do is actually use it.  It lists weekly challenges, has questionnaires, monthly and daily calendars, log sheets for jotting down memories, and layout planning pages among other goodies.  I have no association with the designer of this ebook, but if anyone is interested check out www.logyourmemory.com and check it out.
