Before I get scrapping December moments and memories, I told myself I would get my November roundup completed. It helps me to set these types of mini-goals or conditions to hold myself accountable. November was definitely a tough month, but I’m so glad to have it documented!

I think it’s time for a little laughter! I love collecting little funny bits to share here with my readers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

My longtime readers know that I have had a tradition since 2013 of doing a different themed Christmas tree each year. We started this tradition when we moved into our new house and had room for a really big 12 foot Christmas tree! It ended up being a really big project each year, but also a fun one. We would have neighbors stop by just to see our tree. Of course, it’s something I’ve been thinking about all year since we moved into our new home in February. I got rid of the 12 foot tree since I don’t have a spot for it in our new place. I’ve been excited to downsize the tree project! …

I’m definitely ready for a new year and I’m betting most everyone feels the same way! I had so much fun creating this New Year Collection and I’m excited to share the details with you here today. Before I get to all the previews, I thought you might enjoy seeing one of the layouts I created with this collection.

Here we are at the end of November! That means it’s time to take a quick moment to pause and do a roundup of the memories and events of the past month. Use my simple roundup prompts to document the month so you don’t forget all that happened. It’s my favorite memory keeping tool and so many of my readers have made it a routine in their own lives as well.

I’m going to spotlight a few more printables and share a few crafts today since so many will be holiday decorating this weekend. Remember that I have all my Thanksgiving and Christmas designs on sale this week!

Printables are great for easy and very inexpensive festive touches.This Happy Little Trees Printables is one of my very favorites. I think it looks so cute next to these little bottle brush trees.

Every year, I make sure to check out the new Adobe Photoshop Elements update and review it here on my blog. I appreciate that Adobe has given me the opportunity to work with a review copy this year so I could play around with the new features and share my thoughts.

Fall seems like a special time for food and I swear there are many dishes that taste better when it’s just a little cool outside. These are a few of my favorite comforting foods to serve at this time of year. I hope you get a chance to try a few of them!

I always get really excited when I have a new release to share here. My new December Moments collection is something I’m going to use for loads of layouts and holiday projects. This was a super fun design project. My daughter Riley created the color palette and designed one of the cards and one of the papers. It’s so fun to see her developing her design skills! Her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me and I feel like I’m having more fun that I ever have with designing. I hope you can feel that joy when you use these items for your own projects!
