The last DD pages

First of all happy newyear to all of you, glad that you come to visit my blog once in a while and even leave a comment. Hope to see you all this year. I also haope all your wishes foe next year come true!!

Yesterday I finished the last pages of my december daily (now I'm glad it's done ;) )
But I'm also glad I did it beause december is always a bit special for us especially with the birthdays.

Day 27: We went to the zoo: Blijdorp.

 Day 28: Tristan loves his present he got for christmas: a K3 DVD and I fixed the 'knuffel' of Camiel, he is already 6 but he still loves his knuffel but he was sad he was really almost 'dead', he wanted me to sew him so I tried ;)  (and the next day I checked the shop who I knew solded the same knuffels and yes still had them, excellent ;)  He was so happy we he opened the present :D

Day 29: Camiel and Tristan went for a sleepover at opa and oma, because the next day I had to work and daycare was closed this week. So I was home alone (Etienne had to work late) for half a afternoon and the evening and I decided to scrap. This is the result

 Day 30: A place for some handmade cards (by Marsha, Danielle and Camiel :) )

 Day 31: last day of the year, we stayed home with the for of us, boys went to bed at the normal time but Tristan woke up around 9 '(I think th efireworks) and didn't wanted to sleep in bed anymore so he stayed awake till 1.30 am!! and  we woke Camiel so we could do some (kids) fireworks. We met some neighbourgs outside. I tried to make pictures of the fireworks, always difficult.

Thanks for looking,

December Daily day 20 - 26

We had a nice christmas. The first day we went to my parents as usual together with Ingeborg my sister. I made the entree of the diner (cucumber carpaccio and big prawns), we had rabbit as main course and I also made the desert monchoucake :D and we also had a cheeseplate. So it was all yummie .
The second day was just the 4 of us, we played on the wii (Camiel got a new game of Santa) and Tristan got a DVD of K3 which he really adores ;). Camiel also watched a Harry Potter DVD (year 2), we are also reading the books (well, I am reading for him). Maybe he is a bit too young for them, but he just loves them, and he really understands the stories. We are in the middle of book 3 now, we had to bring it back to the library, but I think we are going to get it again tomorrow, he keeps asking about it ;)

And now back to the december daily album, I am up to date, so proud of me :)

Day 20: Through the snow to daycare and work

 Day 21: A pj day a home

Day 22: We made a gingerbread house, atleast I kept falling apart. But luckily I fast anough for a picture ;)

Day 23: I worked a day from home, finally I appear in the album ;)

Day 24: Christmas grocery shopping and presents for my parents and also Santa brought something for the boys for under the tree. 

 Day 25: 1st christmasday at my parents

Day 26: 2nd christmasday a quiet day with the 4 of us. We went for a walk outside and we eat gourmet in the evening 

I also have a few LO's I made the last weeks but didn't upload yet.

 Enjoy today, also for the kwartaalchallenge (color challenge) I used Tim Holz fragments and I really love the word stixkers by KI memories.

 Kijk mama! Tristan made a loooong queue with all the cars he could find in the house ;)

 Starry starry night, just love this picture of my handsome boy, made during Halloween night.

Daily December

I was still thinking about wether I wanted to make a daily december album. Knowing that I still had a half finished album of 2008 lying around. But then the Kwartaalchallenge on Scrapotheek had an extra workshop to get some extra points. The workshop was to make a cardmap. Because I don't really make cards, I decided to use it for my daily december album, I just added some extra pages.

I used a lot of stuff from my stash which feels good ;) I also had these vintage number tags of Elle's Studios who were perfect for this album. The fromt page paper has flocked candeliers, just love it :)

Btw: you can click the pictures to see them bigger, because you don't really see the details this way.

The challenge was also to make 2 cards for some extra points, I had some nostalgic christmas prints (Katie Pertiet) and made these 2 matching cards.

I am planning to blog some more soon with scraps I haven't show yet. Last month was not a good blogmonth... But december is always such a busy month around here.

Yesterday we had some snow, I had to bike home after work through the snow, pick up Camiel from the BSO, he had to rode his own bike and together we picked up Tristan from daycare (like we always do if Etienne work late shifts). But I was glad to be home this time, warm and safe. Today was also a cold day, brrr and they promised us I will be even more colder at the end of the week and more snow also. I'm glad we all bought snowboots last week. Brrr, I'm not ready winter yet :(
Thanks for looking!

ETA: As Irene and Anja already mentioned (thanks), I forgot day 31 (too much pictures) but it's added now.
Hugs,
Astrid
