Project Monday

Well, I didn't think I'd do it, but I finally made time to do four more pages of my December Daily Art Journal.  I'm only up through day 9, but it still feels really great to work on this little momentum of my December 2010 : )

Here they are.....

I varied my formula just a little this time in putting these pages together.  There is no watercolor (except a little on page 6).  And I didn't sew any of the pages together.....instead I just attached them together with glue.  For some reason I liked this better today.  I did still sew on most of the photos, though.  Days 7 & 8 are mounted on an acrylic sheet, and I actually used my Christmas card for this year to write a note to December for day 9.  For Day 6 I tucked a Starbucks cozy inside one of the sleeves.....love that saying, and peppermint mochas are a blessing right now.

I plan to have a few more pages put together each week to share here, but assume I won't be caught up till after the holidays.  But I can't complain.  That's one of the reasons I am enjoying this project so much.....because there is so much to look forward to this month :  )  What are you enjoying most this month?

See you tomorrow for a new photo prompt from our sweet December guest, Nely!

Remeber this.....

Around this time last year I shared some Christmas songs that Ryan wrote and recorded.  You can see last year's blog post HERE.  Well,  I added them to my sidebar under Music, so you can listen to them again (or for the first time) this year too, if you like : )

And just because today feels super special, here they are in this post as well.  I actually sing on the first song called Christmas So Far Away.....The idea for the song came from Ryan and I racing on Christmas Eve in a blizzard from San Diego to Utah to try and see my family in time for Christmas.  The song isn't really about that exactly, but that's where we got the idea.  Hope you enjoy!

Wednesday ~ Heart Flutter { Top 5 }

This week I am in the mood for going to the movie theater, so I though it would be fun to share the top 5 movies I am exited to see in December and in 2011.  So, (from left to right and top to bottom), here is my list.....

• Tron Legacy (2010)
• Somewhere (2010)
• Gnomeo & Juliet (2011)
• The Tourist (2010)
• Red Riding Hood (2011)

The original Tron was a breakthrough movie, so everyone I know is excited about Tron Legacy (Ryan even had a Tron viewing party with some friends last weekend).  Somewhere, well, all I needed to know was that Sofia Coppola wrote and directed it, and I'm hooked.  Gnomeo & Juliet.....cute little garden gnomes and a forbidden love affair.....perfect.  I love adventure movies that take place in Europe, and Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are both beautiful, so The Tourist  sounds really fun.  And last but not least, all I had to see was the long red cape against the soft white snow in the Red Riding Hood trailer to know that the visuals in this movie are going to be a big inspiration.

I think Ryan and I are going to see Tron this weekend, and I hope to find time to see the other two from 2010 on my list before they leave the theater.....There are some movie passes just sitting in my purse and I can hear these movies calling my name : )  Of course there are quite a few other movies that are going to be amazing, like I'll probably see the new Coen Brothers with Ryan too, but in general I prefer to watch dramas at home.  What movies are you excited for these days???

Happy Wednesday!
