I am so excited that I got a good jump on December Daily this year! I am also pumped about my take on the project for this year. Instead of documenting our every day happenings in December, I am focusing on telling stories about our traditions and where they come from and why they are important. I am sharing the full process for days 1-3 on my YouTube channel today!ā  My Happy Planner Squad Box #2 arrived on my doorstep today, and I can't wait to show you all of the gorgeous goodies from the Winter Release that I received! The full unboxing is up on my YouTube channel, complete with flip-throughs!ā  Advent is most definitely in full swing, so I am sorry for my delayed setup video. I am once again keeping it simple on the crafting side and spending more time on the study side of things. I will say that I am super pumped about this sweet little mini-album though! What are you doing for advent this year?ā  I am soooo ready for all the Christmas planner spreads! Bring on all the holiday stickers in all the colors! Do you have a favorite Christmas holiday color scheme?ā  De-stashing is not always easy, but sometimes it HAS to be done. I tend to hold onto stamps forever, but my stamp stash had absolutely reached full capacity, so it was time to clean out. I'm not getting rid of stamps (you'll have to watch the video to find out why), but I am planning on taking about 25% out of my normal rotation. Check out my new de-stash video! What do I love about memory planning? It is totally doable whether you have just a few pictures or a million pictures. And you can work with full scrapbooking kits or just a few scraps from your stash. There are just SO many ways to memory plan, and there is no right or wrong. Enjoy the process!ā  Glass-blown ornaments have a special place in my heart, so I thought I would try to recreate them in my art journal. They did not turn out exactly as envisioned, but that's okay, the process was fun. And, art is all about the joy of the process šŸ’œ Happy Planner aesthetic + Crafting = Happy Crafts! I am so excited about this new line of products from the Happy Planner! I am the type of crafter that likes to dabble in all kinds of crafts, so these kits are right up my alley. Plus, they feature some of my favorite Happy Planner images! These awesome products are releasing on the Happy Planner website on December 1st, and I am sharing a full unboxing over on my channel!ā  Have you ever heard of a "Glue Book"? I hadn't heard of it before, but after making a member exclusive video for my YT members, one of them told me that is what this type of project is called. Basically, I am taking all my extra printables (I have a TON!) and I am having fun clustering them and playing in this vintage book. It's a super simple project, but very satisfying at the same time! Check out the full process over on my YouTube channel!ā
