My December Daily Book for 2008
Even though I blogged every day last December, and took a billion photos... I still haven't gotten around to finishing my December Daily book for last holiday season.
I don't really feel bad about it. After all, I finished my Christmas 2007 minibook last November.
But Ali has started posting peeks for her 2009 book, so it really got me thinking about the holidays. I know that Halloween is tomorrow, but we crafters often have to think ahead seasonally. ;)
Even though I had an absolute blast making the book, I realized I never posted the details on the blog. The book itself has been sitting in my box of unfinished projects (yes, I have enough that I need a whole box.) I finally uploaded all the photos to Flickr (there are nearly 60 of them). Here is a little slideshow.
Make up a hot cocoa and enjoy.
Really looking forward to this year's book too. I plan on doing something totally different. ;)
Happy Friday!

SteamCon: A SteamPunk Convention
Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely."

Status Report
Got the new Dead by Sunrise album. Currently on my first listen through. Not every song is awesome, but there are enough that I am glad to have gotten it.
Current craft obsessions are glittered objects and Martha Stewart Crafts punches.
On the subject of glitter, while I have recently become very attracted to its shiny and sparkly properties, I am not a fan of loose glitter, as I don't like to have little flecks of shiny stuff everywhere.
The solution I've recently discovered is glittered embossing powder, American Crafts glitter paper, and stickles. Working on a few ideas to share later. It's going to be a sparkly holiday, is all I'm saying. ;)
Label Tulip is sponsoring a challenge blog called Dotty Divas and I was lucky enough to get to play along with them! You can check the challenge out here. If you make something inspired by the challenge, you can win a Label Tulip kit. Good stuff.
Here was my take on the challenge.
I love what the gals on their DT made. I think it's funny that I'm the only one who didn't use the word on the ad "love." I guess I was more inspired by the idea of the letters floating on the page than the concept of love. Hehe.
I am slowly working up to dealing with my "fear of flowers." I made up a really neat embellishment tutorial using buttons and punched pieces of paper for my class. Here is the end result:
I also used some of the samples I made on my "happy" layout (which uses another technique taught in the class, btw.)
You might be seeing these on more of my pages in the future. Lol.
And that's the haps for now. Working on a halloween post for this blog. :)
Hope all is well with you.
