Hi there, it’s Jamaica. Just checking in on your Decembering. How’s it going?

I’m happy to report that my plan is working. Thanks to the pre-printed This Day in December cards and the little folio I keep them stashed in, I’m up to date with my little December Daily book. Here’s a look at how it’s shaping up…

If you’re on the very short list of people I card, sorry for the early reveal. And the fact that I may or may not have sent the same cards last year. They’re from 1Canoe2 and I couldn’t resist, the green on the soft pink background is gorgeous.

Good-bye spinning ball of death.

For the last few years, I’ve decorated my tree with only balls so buying this tiny, rainbow colored set was a no-brainer.

The plastic bags Anthro is shipping in this season are incredible—green on one side, feathers on the other. I’ll admit I cut it open carefully and am keeping it, despite the scuffs and dings.

My newest nephew arrived early… welcome to the world Finn.

I took my little book along with me to Disneyland (yay for portability!) and jotted down a quick note on the cards each night. I also put a few Instax photos, an unused Fastpass and my brother’s ticket (which he lovingly donated to the scrapbooking cause) into a plastic sleeve I had tucked the folio. When I got home, I couldn’t decide on one photo so I have two for now.

Disneyland, day two. I realized I could do two photos per spread if I used the This Day in December art as an overlay.

Again, two photos. It’s a luxury of being at home. When I’m traveling and busy again, I’ll likely be back to just one. Here I used part of the gift wrapping from Anthro to record what I bought.

A close-up of what’s under the card, a shot of Anthro’s pencil tree. The pencils are all short and dipped in silver and gold paint then wired on. Very cool.

I’m still undecided on how I’m going to finish my book at the end of the month. Right now, I can easily imagine tucking the cards into my scrapbook. Bu, and this is a big but, I want to have a mini book to go along with my collection. I like seeing them all together. And the folio would be a sweet addition. I’m so conflicted.

xo, jamaica
