Yesterday I spent the better part of my day removing years of grit and grime from the carpets of my SUV. Today I am paying for it. The elbow grease that it takes to remove the type of dirt left behind by two sporting boys is a little more than my body can handle. So I have discovered.
Something a little more my speed.
Baking. Pies to be exact.
Apple will be the first. The second is a Pumpkin Creme Pie.
Imagine that.
Pumpkin.
Cream.
Pie.
Yummity yum yum!
Also working on the inside pages of my December Daily 2010
This is such a fun project. This will be the title page below. C is for Christmas and also Chandler and Celebrate and Cheer and... I could go on and on.
This being the third year I have chosen to create and document this I have found it to be one of the most enjoyable things I do all season.
The concept is to prepare the album ahead of time so that you can simply record each day as it comes. That is such a great idea but I always have a hard time with this for some reason. I slightly prepare my pages. They are all very tentative if that makes any sense.
I basically lay out my supplies for the month and create as I go. I found that this is what works best for me.
I really enjoy having my holiday supplies out all season long. Plus they are fun to look at.
In between all this fun baking and creating there is a to-do list the length of the English channel I must tend to. (I never exaggerate much)
How are you planning on documenting your memories this season? I would love to know. There are many ways to do it.
A journal.
A premade photo album.
Even Facebook and Twitter are great ways to jot out things you don't want to forget.
Think about it.
Over and out.
The SLM
