December Daily and Elf on a Shelf........

This post is going to be photo heavy.  You HAVE to see what this stinking elf has been up to and this December Daily book that I have worked so hard organizing for:o)  

December Daily first:  It will also include photos of the elf, Dickie!

Here is my cover that I changed 3 times!  I painted the raw chipboard white and then added Pearl Shimmers, so if you catch it in just the right light, it glistens, like snow!  Since my washi tape did not stick well to my album last year, I decided to sew this one down and then decided to keep on sewing and attached everything on the cover with my machine.

My title page is basically telling you your about to see what is happening in the Maldonado house through the month of December.

November had to be included because we decorate out tree at the end of it and I captured this really cute picture of my cat in the box under the tree.  Speaking of box, it is an old bakers box that usually houses my blankets, I was cleaning it out and my tree just happened to fall into it!

December 1:  and here is Dickey!  Arrived in the advent calendar for another year of mischief.  Roads were slippery on this day so we Podcast church on the couch in our pj's.

December 2:  He started off with a bang.

December 3:  My boy loves to read.  He found light from under the tree.  It would have been priceless if the cat would have jumped out right about the time I took this pic!  Yes, my sexy dog looks possessed.  

December 4:  We decorated Romans tree.  Actually he did most of it.  I love the tight grouping of his Spongebob ornaments.  There were front and center and first to go on the top.

This is as far as I have gotten at this point.  I have good intentions but I keep rearranging and cleaning my December products.  I will have to share those pics with you soon.

Here are a couple of things that Dickie has been up to.

This is what the little devil was up to for today.  He only tagged Roman's photos, so I guess he is not that bad:o)

Thanks for stopping in.  If your tired of the elf already, unfollow if you must, cause it's only going to get worse:o)

Silent Night

I am up over at A Flair For Buttons today sharing a mini album I created with a flair button front and center!  Simple Stories December Documented is a traditional colored Christmas line with a splash of the unexpected Chalkboard black!  I am seeing it everywhere and I love it!

Flair used but not harmed in the making of this mini.....

Thanks for popping in!

Classes

I am staging all of my December Daily products so I can get rolling with documenting something everyday for the month.   I did it last year and was completely overwhelmed.  I was not organized at all and am determined not to let that happen this year.  Although we are 3 days into December, I can catch up.  I work better when organized.  Later I will share photos of my organized mess.  Should those two words really be together?   BTW, Dickie has returned to our home and I can tell that this year he will continue to be up to no good.  Here are a few picks of the mischievous fella!  Wake ups are much better since he arrived except we can't do anything until we find him first!

December 1st

December 3rd

Anyway, I had forgotten to share with you a picture of the class I will be teaching locally.  I am in LOVE with the kraft look but think for my DD I will go with more white and silver.  Maybe a touch of blue and pink.  Hmmmmm, I don't know.  I love this years Christmas line by October Afternoon and the one by Webster Pages.  Totally different looks, wonder if I can pull off blending the two together!

Blizzard

  No.....I am not ready for the snow to start falling just yet!  This is from last year, the photos that is!  We had snow halfway up our back door and took hours to dig out the driveway.  It is funny though, with the snow drifts, my husbands truck was spared from the white stuff.  He says it was scared to touch is rough and tough truck, that it knew better!  Rigggghhhhtttt.  With 50 things on my to-do list, I completely forgot it was my turn to post over at Eclectic Paperie today.  I wanted it to be simple, clean and to the point.  I need to plan better:o)

Head over to Eclectic paperie for a breakdown of how I created this Blizzard layout.

TFL,
