December Daily 2011: the finished book

So it's officially Christmas in July! I was able to take a few days and finish my December Daily from 2011! Feels really good to have a finished project. It may not be perfect but it is done and for that I am happy. Basically from Dec 1st  to Dec 25th I have a two page spread (meaning one left handed page and a right handed page), with a transparency or an envelope or something with the number of the day on it in the middle. I also have a title page and a closing page. I am pretty happy with how it turned out!

So here is the flickr set: December Daily 2011 Warning: this is a long post! :)

And there it is! Another December Daily complete! And this year I actually did all the days. Last year I had to condense it (leave out) a few days or it would never have gotten done. I still love that album too, so I say whatever works, whatever gets done and makes you happy is good.

For me there is definitely a lot of real life mixed with holiday spirit. And that is a good thing.
