I've been plugging away at my DYD {Document Your December} album as I have time.

Here's what I've done this week to stay organized and keep it as streamlined as possible. Because I'm definitely going to have to stay streamlined to get this album done!

Remember to take photos even on the uneventful days. There's always something to remember about each day. A book read, an ornament, food eaten, etc...
Organize photos by day. This means EVERY NIGHT I gather all of my photos from the day and put them in a folder on my computer named with the day of the photo.
Place my photos in the appropriate template as soon as my photos are organized. I'm using my Holly Jolly Template set and I just get the right number, choose my photos and put them in the template and save.
Add a bit of journaling from that day right after photos are placed in the template.
Add papers, elements, etc... as time allows. So far I've only had time to finish pages on the weekend days or nights. But since I kept up with the first 4 steps every night, the papers and elements come quickly and I'm already organized so I can just sit down and scrap.

And to keep it simple I'm sticking to a few Holly Jolly DYD kits from TLP, my Holly Jolly Templates and Mommyish's Glittery Crinkled Foil for my numbers.

So far I've completely finished the first 3 days. I have days 4-6 ready to scrap right now. I'm hoping to get them done tonight or tomorrow afternoon so I'm all ready for next week. Today I've just kept Photoshop open and I'm adding papers and elements in between taking care of kids, cooking meals, doing laundry, taking care of the home, etc... The kids like to stop by and look at my computer and see their photos. ;) I know they will be excited to get this album. It's keeping me motivated.

So, take a closer look if you like! I'm including all sorts of photos, not just Christmassy type photos. It's a good glimpse into what our December looks like.
