"We can dance all night long until the morn, with nothing but our shades on..."

Believe it or not... inspite of a very busy weekend involving an overnight "date night," a Christmas party with my college friends, running, learning a new Zumba routine so I could use it in my class today, finally getting the ornaments on our tree that's been up & naked since Thanksgiving weekend, a drive-thru Christmas light display last night & a weekend-long headache the size of Manhattan... I still somehow managed to get started on my December Daily album. 

And no, I did not pay Bryn to do it for me, although it did cross my mind... 

I'm using some old wood mini book that I found in my craftroom.  For the front cover, I just cut some of the squares from the cover sheet to this My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas collection & added 2 of the SRM We've Got Your Border Christmas stickers + a 2012 SRM Sticker. 

There were a few 6x6 page protectors inside it and I've also cut down some of my 12x12 Becky Higgins divided page protectors to use in it as well.  I did that in last year's book & it seemed to help slightly with the flow of getting pages done.  Although in my case, nothing is ever quick + easy.  I like to make things slow + difficult whenever possible.  But maybe this year will be different?

More SRM number stickers + various SRM Christmas stickers on those pages, as there will be throughout the rest of the book. 

And well... this could be the only time I'm caught up on my book this month, so I'll just go ahead & pat myself on the back today.  Yay me. 

Oh and Bryn got up & put on shorts + a short-sleeved shirt today.  I said, "Bryn, no.  It's December.  That's not appropriate."

She said, "Mommy... it's going to be 76 degrees today, I'm not taking this off.  I'm wearing this." 

I said, "Oh.  Well at least put on a hoodie then." 

How can I argue with that?  This weather is CRA-ZY.

Happy Monday, everyone!
