I am determined to keep up a holiday book this December. And as I mentioned earlier, will be working with the same holiday book (with larger bookrings) that I have been selling in my shop over the last few weeks. These books have 25 pages plus a cover, but I am adding my own pages and photos where necessary. I am looking at this as an opportunity to "collect" holiday memories throughout the season. I think all the pieces together will tell a story without too much text. Below are the thoughts I gathered before December started.
The backsides of the pages are a great place to add photos. I took a picture of my red coffee cup, printed it out at home and then cropped down to size. Other found emperma, like the coffee collar just gets punched into place as it's own page.
I like to add labels to the pages to provide a "house" for my written thoughts. It gives me a specific area to fill & I think it grounds
the text on the page.
I added a few photos from our San Francisco trip and wrote on them with white sharpie poster paint. A lot of the photos throughout the book will probably end up being just a 4×6 photo which is part of the reason why I love this size album.
These are just the first few pages. I hope to fill it from now until January 1. I am not focusing as much on daily entries, but just gathering evidence of what happened this holiday season.
If you did not get a holiday book, I still have a few left here. Buy one today and it ships for free. If you want to add anything else to your order, I will refund the shipping via paypal on those items as long as they ship with a book.

Happy December 1. We are not getting a tree this year, but I am going to get out the rest of our decorations today anyway. I think I'll hang our ornaments on ribbon and string them down the stairs. We'll see how that goes…
enJOY it
