December Daily 2009 {SneakPeak} + Ralph

Yes, Ralph. You are a shoe eater. But at least you seem to realize which shoes I only wear because I paid money for them, even though I don't really like them and they are uncomfortable. And for that-I thank you. Thank you very much. You are very sweet and snuggly anyway.

So next-on with the December Daily sneak peak. I took these photos over the weekend (when there was a little bit of sunlight coming through the window:) I have made a few changes since then, so I will take more photos over the weekend and post more next week.

The overlay on the photos is a combination of these: font: Edwardian Script. overlays: Katie Pertiet: KPertiet_OntheInsideFramesNo2-2a,Rhonna Farrer: dwd_rhonna_cabaret_overlay_photoEdgeE, RhonnaFarrer_2ps_PhotoEdge2, RhonnaFarrer_2ps_PolaroidTransfer1

Love this transparency with the white dots. I think I may have used the rest of it in last year's December Daily.

Ali Edwards has her December Daily blogged here. The trick to the December Daily album is letting go. Embrace imperfection. Don't dwell on the decoration-just put it together-before December. Then work with what you have created during the month of December. But don't spend too much time on it. Spend your time celebrating and being present. {Which is sometimes really hard when you're a Mom!}

More coming next week!

Happy Thursday!

Happy Halloween

Framed overlays are from Rhonna Farrar. The font is bleeding cowboy.

We had kind of a quiet and laid back halloween this year. Although we did spend most of the afternoon carving pumpkins. We had a total of about 3 sets of tricker treaters. Bryan didn't trick or treat this year.

Here Bryan is carving his pumpkin.

Here he is with the finished product.

I couldn't wait until it was dark enough to light them up.

Carving the tops with my comfy warm UGGs on. They make me happy.

Daddy and Tigger are wiped out.

Here is Elizabeth carving her pumpkin.

Here are the all of the pumpkins. I love the way the glow of the candles reflects off the hardwood floor. The one on the left is William's. He didn't want his photo taken while he was carving. The one in the middle belongs to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth took most of the pictures of Bryan and I carving. She also got this one of her and Ralpho together.

William is dressed up as one of Elizabeth's friends, Matt. He and Elizabeth went to a party one of Elizabeth's friends' houses.

Elizabeth is pretending to be scared of Bryan in his zombie costume.

I love this Egyptian pyramid that I bought a few years ago at Michael's. Hope everyone had a great Halloween. Happy Monday!
