christmas is here, bringing good cheer

are you ready?

it's nice that we had a week between thanksgiving and december 1st.  it's making me feel like i'm not so behind the game.

our tree is up.  we have tuned the radio station to the holiday channel.  we are sweetening our coffee with peppermint creamer. (we actually started doing that 2 weeks ago) umm, there is a box of peppermint jo jos in the pantry, soon to be 27. i have started the christmas shopping. and of course i'm getting ready to document the season.

i bought elise's holiday mini book at the queen bee market in october and it's been sitting on my work table just waiting to get used.  i also got a few fun things to play with.  some tapes, ribbon, and stickers. i really want to keep things simple because i don't know how much time i will have to dedicate to this project.  buying a pre-made book makes it so much easier to get started.  it's the perfect size and includes lovely paper and tags and envelopes.

again, keeping it really simple this year.

if you're interested in joining in on the fun you will find inspiration here and here.
and here's a look at some of the books i've done in years past.

it really is the most wonderful time of the year.
