the stacy julian project. . .

. . .do you know stacy julian?

by that, i don't necessarily mean IRL (although that's got to be freakin awesome!). . .but do you know "of" her?

if you do. . .then you may have caught her liitle saturday play project this weekend on her blog. . .

there are lots of holiday albums and ideas out there to document your holiday and get in the spirit. . .by far, my favorite of all time is Ali's december daily. . .but i have to admit - it intimidates me and i've never been able to actually do it. . .even though in my heart of hearts - i want to.

anyway - stacy posted this cute little pink album from target on her blog earlier in the week. . .while i was at target on saturday, i spied it and picked it up. . .not sure i'd do her project or not. . .but what the heck right?

well i read her instructions, and with some holiday paper, this seemed like something i could manage. . .i went to michael's and bought a pack of American Craft's Jolly paper. . .came home and got busy. . .

except for the paper and the album - i used stuff i had. . .even the pictures, i scrounged up holiday-past pictures that were printed and lying around. . .scrapbooking the holidays has always intimidated me - it needs to be perfect - i'm afraid i'll goof it up. . .

here are a few shots from inside. . .i still need to put a family picture in the front, and do a title page. . .but other than that - i'm ready for december 1st. . .

thanks stacy - for your endless inspiration and your amazing knack to make me feel like i really can do it - and not sweat the small stuff.

catch you soon -
