I’m going to be taking this week off from blogging so I can have a little extra holiday time. I’ll be back on December 27th and I have lots of great stuff planned for the new year. I hope you have a happy holiday season!

I have an annual tradition of sharing our Christmas tree here each year. I’ve been doing this since 2013, which was the first year I started changing the theme of our tree each year. If you want to peek at the previous years, here are the links:

I love the traditions that come with the holiday season. December has lots of memory making opportunities and this new collection will help you document all of the special moments that make this time of year extra special.

My favorite thing about surfing online is finding funny little gems that make me laugh. Here are some humorous holiday goodies to start your day off right!

November seemed to go by fast this year for our family. We were lucky to have a visit from Riley & Ryan and their dog Piper. We got our booster shots, decorated our house for the holidays, and enjoyed the warm weather. We even ate outside on November 30th - very unusual for Utah!

November 2021 has been our busiest month since the pandemic started. We aren’t back to pre-pandemic levels of socializing yet, but we did host a few small dinner gatherings and attended a play in the theater. We also had a visit from our daughter and son-in-law and their doggy and enjoyed some movie nights with my parents. Our house is all decorated for Christmas and we even got our booster shots. Pretty good stuff overall.

Now I’m ready to use my roundup prompts to document the month. I also love creating scrapbook layouts using these topics, but there is no right or wrong way to do this. Just record the main events of November and find somewhere to share and enjoy them!

Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday all take place over the next few days. There are also a lot of shortages this year and slower mail delivery so I believe this will be a very big weekend for shopping. I’m not heading out anywhere, but I will be working my mouse and keyboard to get my shopping done.

I thought I would share a few of my favorite ideas here in case you are looking for inspiration.

No matter what your Thanksgiving celebration will look like this year, it’s worth documenting. Make sure you have your camera and take photos of everyone you spend the day with. Document where you ate the Thanksgiving feast and who was there to celebrate with you. We already had our Thanksgiving feast in October so we are planning to order takeout Chinese food, and watch some shows and movies. That’s worth documenting also!

This was such a fun tutorial for me to put together! I love using stickers and was a big fan of them back in my paper scrapbooking days. Digital stickers are a bit different, but far more flexible to use. I’m sharing some important tips in this video so I hope you enjoy it!
