I have taken the plunge and decided to do a December Daily album again this year (last time I did this type of album was back in 2008 and a lot has changed in my life including my house and my job!). But the issue I was having in making that decision was that I am doing Project Life already this year and how would there be a need for documenting a month in two different albums. I decided that the DD album will be a journal about the Christmas season and the Project Life album a document of my daily life around the crazy holiday season. Make sense?
To start the DD album off I have created the album pages and have a basket ready with supplies to add to the pages with the pictures and journaling. But I also wanted to put together a list of prompts that would help me on a day when maybe there wasn't a Christmas focus already.....and I just want to note that your december daily doesn't have to be just Christmas focused (as Ali Edwards the creator of this idea mentions that she puts in their yearly dentist appointment in her DD album). But for me this year mine will be completely and totally centred around Christmas.
So back to ways to keep me focused/motivated/inspired on documenting the holiday season for a whole month. You would be surprised to find all of the different prompts/free classes/pdf's/blog entires, etc out there.
Ali Edwards lists 25 ideas for what to do for each day
Last year Jessica Sprague did a free Christmas class (she is doing another one this year too) with 31 prompts - with a write, photograph, do or make idea. For example December 1st the prompt included a quote "May your walls know joy, may every room hold laughter, and every window open to great possibility." Mary Anne Radmacher. Write your thoughts about your family's holiday values. Photograph: Take a "Welcome to December!" photo of everyone in your family. Remember: What is your earliest holiday memory?
25 December Daily Photo Ideas by Katrina Kennedy - Katrina provides a downloadable pdf for inspiration oh what you can document through pictures.
Trixie Scraps has daily prompts to provide inspiration on her blog.
So only one more day until the Christmas documenting begins.....look out camera here we go!
