He created the seasons (day 29)
![]() |
I love winter!
I love snow and the way that it makes the earth look lovely. I love snuggling up under a warm blanket with a steaming hot cup of coffee. I love taking a drive or running errands while the tiny little flakes fall to the ground. Winter is definitely my favorite season. I love the fact that when God created the earth, He thought of the seasons. He thought of the transformations & changing that the earth could go through as time passes. I love the Creator, and I love His creations. Daniel 2: 21 says “He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 reads “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven…” I made the ATC pictured above for a “Favorite Season ATC” swap over on sistv.com. The little penguin was cut on my Cricut Expression. The stamped sentiment was from papertreyink.com. Only 29 days till I turn 40! |

I made this ATC for a swap over on SISTV. The theme is “the 12 Days of Christmas”.
My day is 7 Swans-a-Swimming. I found an image online of the sheet music, shrunk the image and printed it. Then I sprayed it with Candy Apple Glimmer Mist. Christmas is coming soon…lots to do! |

Whew! It’s been a long week.
I had the stomach flu for most of the week, then towards the end of the week, I had 2 events to get ready for. One being my husbands family Christmas and the other, a coffee fellowship time at church this morning. Whew! Today, I finally worked on my December Daily. I got out my sewing machine and decided to make pleats for paper! Here’s how:

…a few of my favorite days…
![]() |
These are just a few of my favorite days (pages) so far!!
Above, I used an old piece of sheet music, misted it with Caramel Apple Mist, to make it look even older. As a result, the edges always roll up from being damp. I love that effect!!! The Santa is a gift tag. He fit perfectly with the theme of my December Daily. On day 3, the Santa is a 3D sticker that I placed inside a frame that I cut using my Cricut Expression. If you aren’t familiar with a December Daily, let me explain! It is a Scrapbook/Journal made PRIOR to December. The idea was created by Ali Edwards (she is amazing!). You pre-make a page for each day of December. That way, when the holidays are underway, and you are stressed by the hustle & bustle, it will be much easier to simply insert a picture from that day, or journal about it. Last year was my first time that I participated in creating a DD. I made one mistake. I tried to “scrapbook” each page ahead of time. I used titles and themes for each page. Yes, they were Christmas-themed, but it made it more difficult, because if the page was themed with “Christmas Lights” and I didn’t end up doing anything on that day of December that had anything to do with lights, then it seemed to mess up my page. In other words, I detailed it TOO much when I made the page. SO, (if that makes sense), this year, I am attempting to remember the “less is more” theory. That way, when it comes to that particular day of December, I will be able to title the page using what fits. If you’ve never tried it…give it a whirl! You won’t be disappointed! |

december daily 09 intro
![]() |
I have been working on my December Daily 2009.
This is just a glimpse of some of the pages that I’ve uploaded. The above page is an intro page. This paper is so pretty that I didn’t want to cover it up! The bird part actually feels like felt. |

This is a title page. I used my “snowy embellishments” for most of the page numbers (December Day #).
I’ve completed my December Daily thru page 15, but I haven’t uploaded all of the pix yet. I am hoping to have the entire DD completed in the next day or so. I need to begin my Christmas cards…amongst other projects, lol. Ok. Time for a snack. Enjoy your evening! |
