Day eleven is all about advent calendars. I usually do this one earlier but this year it ended up having to wait.

scary to think we’re almost at the halfway mark to Christmas.
I really like all of your pages and the mixed media look. You made the album and process work for what you wanted – super cool. I like that you add a lot of journaling and focus on the story. And I like the glitter and all the layers…fun!
Did you make that album? It’s looks amazing (and a lot of work!). Super cute felt reindeer.
Thank you for your kind words Ruth! I sure did, here are all the pre pages: http://www.karenika.com/archives/32940 with an explanation 🙂
Hello Karen, I love the pages here and below!! It’s working out so nicely for you. Have the boys been reading it, I bet they love it. Great stories for these two days. YAY for your ring, I know you love getting the new one.
thank you my sweet friend 🙂
I have seen many, many December Daily projects on blogs and on pinterest, but yours is my favorite. I absolutely LOVE that you have illustrated it and layered so many interesting things and have meaningful stories every day. Thank you so much for sharing, seeing yours almost makes me want to try it next year.
You are so so kind, Robin, thank you. I hope you do try it next year. This was the first year I tried something new like this and I really wasn’t sure if it would work but I love the way it’s turning out and I hope you try something for 2015!! 🙂
