I'm a few hours ahead of myself here, but since I was on a roll with week 52, I kept going. Instead of labeling this week 53, I went with "last 3 days." Also, I didn't use templates in 2013 except for week 1, but I've finished with another though with more changes to it. I've got 2 photos for 2...

My 2013 cover is posted in a different thread, but here it is.

I still like the photo a day concept but can say it was nice in 2010 (and into 2011) doing two-page spreads each month and NOT needing daily photos. Here is my week 52, still have the last three days to assemble.

All but three days of 2013 are covered now including a lovely Christmas. Credits: -background: Timeless mini kit by Cinzia Designs -border, berries, leaf, word art: Oh Joy! by Paula Kesselring -card: ArtsyKardz Everyday No. 1 by Anna Aspnes -overlay, transfer: ArtPlay Palette Christmas...

Years ago we went to DH's aunt's, played cards, stayed overnight to avoid crazy drivers, and had her wonderful cooking for New Year's dinner. It was always so nice. These days we get our annual quota of alcohol by splitting a split of champagne and watching the ball drop on TV. Pretty tame...

Since I'm never here at this hour, thought I'd speak up. Our local artists' group took down our gallery exhibit on Friday and this morning - starting at 6 AM! - hung a slightly smaller version in a local restaurant. I feel like a total zombie at the moment, but have to stay awake to go to the...

I don't do mine until the end. I've just done the 2013 cover for an AnnaLift.

Oh my, this is so exquisite!

I have my week 52 photos ready, but haven't started the page. Since I did week 1 as a five-day page, I'm going to do a separate three-day page for week 53. That way I can have week 1 as a beginning right-hand page and the remaining 52 weeks as two facing pages. I haven't done any added pages, so...

Diane, that sounds very ambitious! Also sounds like a really good idea that will make your book even better.

Yes! It is so beautifully done.

They are indeed beautiful pages! I know what you mean about no breather before it begins again. I'm still dithering about keeping it up, but if you all do, it will make it easier for me.

Never too late! It looks so pretty for the holidays.

Another wonderful page for your December!

Thanks, Diane. The tree is books as it is in the library at the historical society. Last year they went from using an artificial tree to creating one with a set of large green-bound books and some red and yellow ones as accents.

Can hardly believe we've come so far!

The week began in the snow, warmed up, and ended with lots of rain. Fortunately our sump pump was up to the task. The holidays are almost here and winter has begun. Credits: -background, frame, stars, brush, overlay, transfer: ArtPlay Palette Christmas Magic by Anna Aspnes -border paper...
