December Daily day 5-10

Keeping up to date has been hard, but here we go folks!

Day 5 was a Saturday and I spent the day wrapping presents and playing around with Simba.  I used to always bonk my dad on the head with the empty rolls from wrapping paper – so of course I tortured my poor pooch with light love taps – he ignored me for the most part!  I added some Washi tape, Mambi stickers and dollar Hobby Lobby stickers!

Day 6 was a Sunday and it was my book club’s First Annual Christmas dinner.  We met at Joey’s Don Mills and enjoyed some food, drink and of course talked a bit about our December book – Fault in Our Stars.  I added almost no embellishments, letting my friends happy faces – and of course the amazing dessert – take center stage

Day 7 was a relaxing Monday night where I lit the tree and again played with Simba.  He has been ignoring the tree thank goodness.  This date I added a journal card from Becky Higgins Holiday collection and added a mambi sticker

Day 8 was all about music.  I started listening to CHFI 98.1 all the time because they played Christmas music 24/7 and my favourite song is my dad’s song “Toyland”.  I used the lyrics as my pic on a 6X8 card

Day 9 Every year Simba gets his picture taken with Santa (at his daycare) and I wanted him to wear a Santa hat – he was having none of it.  As soon as we got the strap around his head he’d paw it off – hence the BA HUMBUG card.

Day 10 my friend asked me to help him pick out a tree.  We went to a little tree lot and this guy came out of his trailer (looking oddly like a mass murderer) and helped us get this beautiful tree.  Here are the two we chose from  – we got the one on the right! Since we yet to have snow, I added some colourful snowflakes I got from my friend Sarah and a round 10 from Mambi.
