Attempting December Part 1

Yes I do realize I am late, which is what seems to be happening a lot to me lately, but a girl can only do so much. Let me just give you a little background. My family owns a UPS Store, and as you could imagine the month of December finds us quite busy. I was very excited when Ali mentioned December Daily a couple months ago, this will be my 3rd year participating, so I decided to get things done early and start my basic pages in September. Things kept getting pushed back and I found myself with a lot less free time. So here it is almost half way through December just finishing my foundation pages.
I was trying to find things to simplify this project for me. We put in a lot of unpaid overtime, late nights, exhausting days, and find little time for December Daily, but I love looking back through my albums from past years. I love celebrating and documenting the season, so I decided to adopt Ali's Layout from last year, hoping to relieve some of the stress of the holiday.
I know I will not be able to keep up like a lot of people (I find a couple empty spots in my albums, but that's okay with me. I love the things that I do have, and will cherish them for years to come) but I am up for the challenge. I hope you will come along with me for the ride and maybe even celebrate a bit of Christmas in July :). Each transparency will be accompanied by a Daily template from Ali.
So here we go. Most of my Overlays come from Hambly and I have stuck with just a handful of different products, some things from my stash, and of course ideas and products from Ali!
