I'm back with some new layouts using great new DHD kits - as usual only today 30% off. and with some super soothing music by Torn Gustavson Trio ... My December Daily journal has been neglected as I got crocheting bug and I'm making a scarf watching the Christmas special of Downton Abbey and some old Midsomer Murders episodes and listening to music. happy listening and hope you have less grey and gloomy weather outside

Today's page is about dreaming - as at this time of the year we tend to believe in magic more often and that our dreams little and big can be fulfilled . So maybe it's good time to think what we really want for ourselves and others. Then you can try to look for a star today and make a wish and I hope I'll come true.
In the photo on my today's page there's a leaflet promoting the new great Polish Christmas movie - Listy do M ( letters to S - like in Santa;-) Lots of great scenes and life stories there but what I loved most was this theme song - an absolutely wonderful version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow sung by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole'.
That's what I'd like to do ;-) but no time for sleeping now ;-) and still not enough time for scrapping my Daily December pages - so today just this photo and a shot of my centrepiece I did yesterday - more decorations will be put up today/tomorrow.
have a wonderful day - and don't get too caught up in the hectic pace of the last days before Christmas - keep breathing and smiling ;-)
and some soothing music for you to keep the right perspective - from my fave Christmas movie _ Love Actually - All You Need Is Love

Nowe wyzwanie u Scrapujących Polek - Digital #12 - chlapanie i doodlowanie - kartka z notatnika - czyli coś co lubię najbardziej ;-) Ja łącząc przyjemne z pożytecznym zrobiłam sobie tapetkę na styczeń. Coraz więcej zajęć, więc grudniownik trochę zaniedbany, ale zdjęcia robię, więc może nawet dziś jakaś nowa stronka wpadnie. Tymczasem ponieważ u mnie w końcu spadło odrobinę śniegu - piosenka śniegowa na dobry początek dnia - Na całej połaci śnieg - w wersji A.M.Jopek ;-)
As I'm more busy now I'm a bit behind with my December journal - but I've been taking daily photos so maybe even today a new page will appear. And for now - a song. Today finally, we've got a bit snow here so the song is just about it - Everywhere Snow by Anna Maria Jopek. Have a great day!

Yesterday's prompt on Journal Your Decemberblog was Winter Evenings. I don't like when it's dark and always wait for longer days, but I must admit December cozy long evenings have their charm too. Especially when you have your decorations on and candles and lights up and listen to some nice Christmasy tunes while crafting or watching a fave movie. That's exactly what I like doing during those long dark winter hours. Although this year I take a break from sitting to go to the gym too as I've got back into fitness groove and exercising makes me happy (not to mention my back which likes it even more ;-)
So today for a long Sunday afternoon and evening - a nice song to get us into this lazy and relaxing mood - Michael Buble singing Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire
Warning - this post is going to be really long ;-)
First my double page from 14/12 - it's about my fave Christmas smells - cinnamon, chocolate and orange ( I have this wonderful smelling orange-chocolate candle ;-) Those yummy odours make me feel christmasy = cheerful and relaxed. I love the smell of fresh pine too but this is not here yet ...

And these pages are on the yesterday's topic on Journal Your December - how do you collect your Christmas memories? For me the main medium is photography - I just snap a photo a day ( in fact more than one ;-) and in this way capture and express my feelings and thoughts this year. I found two great quotes that are perfect add ons as they speak beautifully about what I'd love to be able to do - to keep this holiday spirit and memories in my heart everyday and not only in December.
