So sorry for the lack of posts lately. We have just recently bought a house and are moving in one week! It’s been a mad scramble around here trying to get everything packed up, as well as finish Christmas shopping and get projects completed.
Today’s prompts are about senses:
1. What are your favorite smells about the holidays?
This one is so easy for me, I LOVE the smell of live Christmas trees (even though we’ve been getting the fake ones for years), and I love love love the smell of the Christmas dinner baking and of course my mom’s fresh shortbread right out of the oven. Those goodies barely have a chance to cool before we gobble them down!
2. What are your favorite tastes about the holidays? Favorite recipes?
Another easy one: the entire Christmas dinner that my parents make, including all the glorious desserts: trifle and shortbread are special Christmas time favorites.
First up – how would you like some FREE printables? Who wouldn’t? Not only will these be quick, but you don’t even have to make them yourself! Just print and cut – voila!
Next up a little Christmas tag inspiration for ya!

Welcome to December! I wish things weren’t so crazy around here right now, so I could actually get posts up every day. That would just be amazing. Hopefully I will have some exciting announcements soon, just not confirmed yet…”
So for the month of December, I know a lot of people (I wish I had time to do this, this year) are making the daily December albums. I totally love those so much, if you are doing one, feel free to email me some pictures and I’ll post them up here, or leave your link in a comment. All the journal prompts for December will have to do with the Holidays/ December Daily albums. Hope you enjoy them!
Today’s prompts:
1. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…
How are things looking in your home? the mall? your neighborhood? Do you have decorations up yet? Do your neighbors have Christmas lights up? What does your favorite mall have for their big holiday displays?
2. How December started…
How did December start out for you? Was there snow outside or was it unusually warm for this time of year? Any special events happening in your area?
