DD 2010: Pre-Dec Pages & Dec.1st

I'll be making these posts weekly not daily. I put the finishing touches and the journaling on the pages each day but only order prints about once a week-I'm not a print at home kind of girl!
My December Daily started November 26th-the day after Thanksgiving, the day our tree goes up. I am so glad it does-the last week of November this year was jammed packed with holiday festivities for us! We'd seen four Santa's prior to December 1st!

November 26th

On the left is pics of each of the twins decorating the tree as well as a shot of my three guys and a shot of me and the boys-all were printed wallet size and put in a cut down to size baseball card sleeve sheet. On the right is the tree.

December 1st

We mail out our Christmas Cards on December 1st every year. I made a "pocket" and you can pull our card out by tugging on the believe tag. Opposite this page I will probably place a photo of the boys with their new LEGO Advent calendar.

Supplies used:

Scenic Route Roxbury Collection

Cosmo Cricket Jolly By Golly Collection

Elle's Studio holiday tags & numbers

This years new handmade ornaments...

...for our tree. Every year the boys and I make a few new ornaments for the tree as well as buy them each a new one to represent their interest that year. Toy Story won hands down this year-surprise, surprise!

These rage ball ornaments are so adorable and so easy to make! I love making rag-a-muffin wreaths and these were inspired by that as well as Under The Table & Dreaming 4 days of handmade ornaments posts-there is an icon on my side bar to take you to all those goodies!

When we saw this years flyer from Bass Pro Shops Santa's Wonderland these little cuties were pictured on the front-we had to make our own set!
These jingle bell wreath ornaments were again inspired by Under The Table and Dreaming-check out the blog-I swear you'll got lost on there for hours!

The ever popular Popsicle stick snowflake-you can't go wrong with this timeless holiday craft staple!
