Take a breath...find a quiet place. Take a look at the photos you've taken this month, then organize them into two sets: those you want to scrapbook, and those you don't. If you can make the time, go ahead and edit the ones you want to scrapbook (if you do that) and print them out (if you do that) or place an order at your favorite print place. Make some journaling notes, either in the computer or in a cute notebook. Write down the stories you are “sure you’ll remember later,” because you probably won’t.
Write them down right now, while they are fresh in your mind and while there are still leftover cookies to nibble while doing it. Gather your Christmas themed papers and supplies and put them in a basket or file. Drop in your photos and notes. It doesn’t matter if you have time later today, or in several months: when the time comes, you’ll be ready to scrapbook the memories you’ve created this December. Also…don’t forget there are a few more “photo a day” opportunities…so keep snapping!
