December Daily - A Late Start
Hello Bloglanders
I hope you are enjoying the holidays!! My mum passed away last week. Thanks to everyone who sent me emails. It has been a LONG year for all of us. She has been sick for nearly 2 years and as we took turns sitting with her, it made our weeks a LOT shorter. I did craft - at home and while sitting with her BUT just didn't get the time to take pictures and blog about it.
It means that I have LOTS of "old" projects to photograph and share with you right here @ Play as U GO. But, let's start with a new one - my 2015 December Daily.
I actually decided to skip the DD this year but as the month included so many big events, I reconsidered and decided to join in the fun. I got this free planner from this site, made a few tweaks to translate it into Afrikaans and printed it A5 size. Into my journal, a few supplies and ready to GO.
This year I'm limiting myself to these supplies:
2 sheets of Silhouette print and cuts , my Planner Pens, colouring pencils. a label sheet from my local dollar store (Crazy store for my fellow South Africans) and a few stamps.
I did start off a bit late and had to use my iPhone Collect App to get up to date. I have included a monthly Collect print-out in my PL spreads as well - will show one in another post. Great keeping track of events and pictures and also a good way to keep busy while standing in queues at the supermarket / keeping the sick company.
Have you tried it?? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. I first met "Collect" over @ Amy Tangerine's. Read all about it here in her post. Even if you don't want to try out Collect - hop over there and see the GORGEOUS Jack - I just love that little boy.
And a few close-ups:

We normally travel a lot over the December holidays therefore I've added the little red cars to mark our trips. It's like a mini travel journal all in one glance.
I'm so glad I did it!! I'm sure that I would want to remember December 2015 in years to come. Normally we do a lot of fun things, have a lot of occasions to celebrate and do "summery" stuff but I think this year would be EXTRAORDINARY for all of us - forever!!
Thanks for looking at my blog today. I'll be posting my next DD page tomorrow and share a bit of my plans for 2015. Let me give you a hint - I'm converting my PL to 12x6 next year. Check back and all will be revealed.
Have a GREAT day.
PS. It seems that the Blogger devil re-arranged some of my I's - I will try to fix it. Please bear with me!!

I've got a crisis # 2
Hi there Bloglanders
My mum is still alive but now under 24/7 intensive hospital care. She lives 400 kilometres away from me which means more than 8 hours out of my week travelling there and back. I will keep you updated but in the meantime, browse my blog, revisit some of my projects and I'll be back. Also, as I go, I post some of my projects on Instagram. Just have a look in the right margin of my blog - check it out and follow as I go. Thank you so much for being friends and understanding.
In the meantime, have FUN and remember to try something new - TODAY!!
