Day 1. i'm keeping it very simple this year. looking through the december daily images on flickr, i see so many complicated books. oh, some say they are not complicated, but to me simple is what i have.
i found over the last two years that when i get all fancy in the beginning, i haven't finished or it has taken months to go back and finish, then i'm just not happy with what i have. not only that, i don't remember either. oh, i do journal what is going on, but my thoughts are just snippets and do not flow like what i would have written on the page.
this year i got some manilla file folders. cut those to 8x8 and covered that with craft paper. the craft paper was just to thin to stand on it's own. yep. that is my base. 25 days of craft paper.
we had an eventful day 1. i am hoping to use just standard 4x6 prints, but sometimes i'm sure i will add more. on this one, i stuck with 4x6's and a basic white block for journaling and a pattern paper strip. simple.
lots of little stories to be told today. you can see that my photos are not perfect, especially the one with santa, but it completely captures the excitement nolan had for seeing him. to me that is what photos are about.
