Well, I cannot believe that I am just now finishing up my December Daily album. I must say that the whole process got overlooked at the end of the year, and into the new year -- too much going on, I guess. My goal was to have it done before the end of January, but that came and went. New goal: end of February - that's TODAY (as I write this). At this point I've, admittedly, lost interest. I can definitely see the benefit of keeping up with it day by day - so that this procrastinating doesn't happen. (I can procrastinate with the best of them. Including right now when I am writing blog-text instead of finishing up December 23rd.)
Would I do this again? Definitely.
Would I do a December Daily every year? Maybe, but not necessarily. (I wish I would've known about this project when our kids were little!)
Something I learned for "everyday" scrapbooking? The use of baseball card page protectors. This is a great way to include lots of pictures without having to figure out a layout to include them all. Love this idea for close-ups of people too! Good way to use pictures of people, but crop out all the distractions.
The problem with procrastinating? I lost my momentum on the journaling. A lot is taken for granted in these last pages which totally lack for journaling. I regret that. I'm thinking that I may add a page of holiday journaling at the end.

This year, I was on a budget. I didn't have a lot of extra money to put into this project, so I worked with what I had. If I did the project again, I would love to spend money on more "fun" papers, and get a different look.
I still love the classy album I chose from We R Memory Keepers. I found it at Archiver's, and used a coupon! I'm actually thinking about using this album for all my scrapbooks. The jury is still out on that one...
And now, without further delay -- here are the last of the pages... December 23, 24, and 25th.
Ho, Ho, Ho.
Ho, Ho, Ho.
