I’m a project starter.
The excitement of a new project always gets me. Sadly, there are times (and lately it’s been quite often) when the project doesn’t get finished. Like my past two December Daily ones… The holiday season always gets so busy, I get sucked into the craziness and then I’m mad at myself that I haven’t finished documenting it all through photos and words.
Well, third time is a charm (right?). I’m giving this project another try and hopefully this time I will end up with an album full of beautiful memories. This (the photo above) is how my desk looked like on the weekend. I’m getting ready for December Daily in advance this year and hopefully this preparation will help me to finish this project. (You can read all about December Daily on Ali Edward’s blog). The photo is also my part of this week’s topic On my desk on Harmony’s and mine collaborative photoblog.
Products I will be using (among others I will come across during December):
Sn@p Album – got this one last year at Michaels during their sale for just $3.50, Sn@p pocket pages refills – various formats
Various products by Paislee Press available at the lilypad.com. I will be mixing it with more printed stuff from Liz’s digital products
Ali’s overlays (more of her brushes are still available over at designerdigitals). I have plenty of her old stuff which I will be using as overlays and wordarts on my photos.
And I will be also using other stuff from my personal stash.
I’m really excited to start. If you plan to do this project this year as well, please let me know. I would love to see how you document your holiday season.

Here are few of my favorite photos from this month so far. I’ve been grabbing my camera more often lately and I’m loving all the memories documented. Sometimes the photo is planned and sometimes it’s just a spontaneous snap shot which totally makes my day.
I definitely need to grab my camera more often and take more pictures. It’s definitely worth it.

Our backyard isn’t too big but it’s big enough for one little happy puppy to run through the grass and chase dancing leaves in the air.
This photo is a part of daily prompts over at Capture Your 365.

The summer has been flying by so fast! The days are getting shorter and it’s getting dark outside so early. But I don’t mind, I love the end of summer | beginning of fall. Here is what we have been up to in the last couple of days.
Currently we are enjoying the everyday little moments to the fullest.
Hope you do the same thing.
Life is good.

The change in weather makes me excited. We went straight from a tropical heat into fall-ish weather and I’m loving it. I’m not big on fresh starts and new years resolutions (they don’t last anyway…) at the beginning of January but I sort of celebrate the upcoming end of summer and the slow transition into sweater weather which has always been my most favorite time of the year.
I’ve been wanting to cut my hair for a few weeks now but I was waiting for my biking race to be done. It’s more comfortable for me to put my hair into ponytail under the helmet during long rides. So finally I booked a new stylist and went to get my hair done this morning. And I love it! I feel so fresh and my head is so much lighter.
It’s a good start.
Hello, change. Hello, new me!

The last few days were filled with traveling adventures. We went to so many new places and drove a lot of kilometers. I haven’t had time to go through all the photos I took yet and I can’t wait to do so.
For now I leave you with this photo from Seattle. We were going from Space Needle back to our car after a long day spent outside and this was the last look I took before entering into the garage and driving back to our motel.
Totally worth the heat and exhaustion of that day.

Today my sweet little girl woke up as an eight year old.
She couldn’t wait to start her big day; she was up at 5.47am tiptoeing downstairs and making sure she won’t wake up anyone. When I came downstairs, she had a huge grin on her face and I could tell that she is really excited that today is her Birthday.
When the boys came too, we wished her a Happy Birthday and gave her her gifts. She always seems to be very shy on the outside but I knew that on the inside she was bursting with joy.
I still remember the day when she was born and the doctor handed her to me, just a few seconds after she took her first breath, how beautifully she smelled. A brand new bundle of joy, love and happiness. Pure perfection. She supposed to sleep in the hospital bassinet but I kept her in my bed instead and we both knew that we will be inseparable. She still loves to climb into my lap and find the perfect spot for a cuddle. She fits there just right.
She has such a big heart.
She always thinks about others first. She would share her last skittle if someone asked her to do so.
She is very kind, sensitive and artistic.
She knows how to run fast and she enjoys it.
She is a huge animal lover.
She is the light of our lives.
Happy Birthday, my sweet little Katrin!
I love you from the bottom of my heart. To the moon and back a billion times.
Yours forever,
mami
