Christmas Cards

At the beginning of this year I had challenged myself to make 10 Christmas cards a month. Well that just didn't happen, after Christmas I just didn't want to see or do anything Christmassy.  Despite that I  have just about completed all the cards I need for this season.  Yeah for me!

On another note, Christmas is going to be extra special this year.  I and many others are waiting for this guy to show up. His name is Daniel Edward Joseph.  He will be the first grandchild and my first nephew.  So can't wait to meet him and hold him.   His mom and dad are two very lucky people to get to bring him into this world and watch him grow.

November

For as long as I can remember I have always found it to be a trying month.  It doesn't mean that it's a bad month it just seems that everyone is a little more tired, a little more irritable, they have a little less energy and well all that tends to suck my energy also.

Lately I have had a real pull towards returning home, being home, missing home.  I have been trying to figure out why.  Right now I'm blaming it on November.  So yesterday I come back to the condo and I read this post from 1000 Awesome Things.  It is so true.  I moved away from home a little over 4 years ago and I still want to go back. 

I am also trying to be grateful this November for all the good things that have happened this month.  just to name a few and in no particular order.

I got to go to an awesome movie last night with a friend.
I had the opportunity to participate in amazingly creative scrapbooking classes.
Saw some breakthroughs with people at work
Just got an awesome deal on a plane ticket
Went cross border shopping with a dear friend, more importantly we had the opportunity to spend the whole day together
Get to talk to my mom everyday

Life is good, and hey next week we get to see December.

December Daily 2010

Last year I discovered Ali Edwards' December Daily and just had to do one.  Well I finished it sometime in March.  Still love the project, however I resolved that this year would be different and I would have the base pages completed by December 1st.  I am pleased to say that I am getting there and it is only November 16, yeah for me!




Now to plan the pictures get them printed and do some journaling. 
December will be here before you know it.
