Project Life 2012 - Week 52 and December Daily Wrap-up

Hello Week 52.

 Yes indeed, week 52! With the year drawing quickly to a close, yesterday I drew on all the determination I had and pulled together the last two page spread for 2012.

Even though I will be continuing with Project Life for 2013, it was like I crossed the finish line when I added these photos to the album...I breathed a huge sigh of relief, and ate a celebratory chocolate (or five LOL). I've documented a WHOLE YEARS worth of photos and memories! YIPPPEEEEEEEE!

So here are the last pages...

 I've used inserts again, so have placed the white cardstock under so you can get a better idea of how it all looks :) October Afternoon's Holiday Style was the basis for my pages...and since they were on my desk for use in my December Daily album, I figured they might as well be used up!

The insert contains mostly Christmas morning/day shots, while the normal page protectors were used for the days surrounding Christmas.

The journal cards from Holiday Style were great for my journaling this week, and the stickers made the embellishing quick and easy (I was kinda over it all by this point LOL)

 I've placed all my 2012 Christmas cards that we received into a PL big envelope, and popped it into the back of the album...the perfect solution to what to do with the Christmas cards!

And that is Project Life for 2012. Done and dusted. If you are considering starting PL for 2013, my advice is to just GO FOR IT! It is such a worthwhile project, and can be done any way that suits YOU...weekly, fortnightly, monthly...using the kit or your own supplies...basic or heavily embellished. Or any combination of those. Just do it...you'll be glad you did :)

Now to December Daily.

As you know, I kept the format very simple this year, which was a blessing to me when I got so very far behind...as I tend to do each and every year :)

 Each page contains a 6x4 photo, some journaling, and a little embellishment or two...nothing too complex :)

I won't bore you with all the pages, as they all follow the same basic design :)

December Daily probably won't happen again in this format for me for 2013. I found that most of what I wanted to document for the Christmas season was covered in PL, and also found myself getting WAY behind on both projects...extra stress at any already busy time of the year. Maybe it's time to hand over the DD to my children, to get a whole new perspective on it?

Thank you so much for all of your encouragement and feedback on both projects...I have appreciated your input!

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours. May your 2013 be happy, safe, productive and fulfilling...and everything you wish it to be!

I have really enjoyed sharing my projects and thoughts here on the blog, and look forward to another year of creativity and fun...hope you'll come along for the ride :)
