I've been wanting to do a holiday family photo for years. But couples like us who has no kids. We have no good reason to do it. But this year, I decided I am going to do it for a just because. And I am glad I did. Even doggie is not being cooperative on this photo. But I still like. And I think We are going to do it ever year from now on. lol

I got bored on Friday night when hubby is playing his video game and doggie is sleeping. So I took my camera out to do some experiments. And it turns out I got some good ones I really like. These two are my favorites from that night. Love the Holiday light boken.

On this page I also use the Mix & Match page protector from Simple Stories. And I used the envelope and doily  I got from my DD kit to create a holiday tag. The badges and journaling tag are from Evalicious.

It's funny that when my favorite Ali Edwards share this on her blog. I did the same thing that morning. I used the mix & match page protector from Simple Stories for my confetti bags.
Then I saw on the three pockets after I insert some embellishments. I left one pocket open for a photo. The photo shown above is the Christmas Wreath I decorated using my Cricut machine and some colorful balls I got from Michael's.

Our dog loves to cuddle and sleep on our bed with us. Luckily, she doesn't shed and I also keep her nice and clean. It's always nice to have her by our side, especially during the winter. We keep each other warm and cozy. lol

On this page, I cut a piece of vellum paper and sew it on my pattern paper. Before I sew the last time I put some star wood veneers inside.

2012. December Daily Day 11

On this day, my poor pooch has to go to the vet. :( Not fun!!

She has been leaking her right paw for a while and it starts to bleed. We couldn't find out the reason. So we decide to take her to see the vet.

The vet found a fox tail embedded in her skin. No wonder we can't find or see anything.

And the vet also subscript some pain killers and antibiotics for her. So far it looks like it's healing. And we just have to keep an eye on her and sop her from leaking again. Poor babe.

2012. December Daily Day 8 

We finally took our Elf home. And we gave him a name, Bob.I hope Bob will like to be a part of our family. And report to Santa that we are all being very good. lol If you don't know what this Elf is, please check here.

終於在今天把小精靈帶回家囉.這個小精靈我們還給他取名叫做Bob. 希望他會喜歡我們家,並且告訴聖誕老人說我們都很乖.呵呵

這個小精靈其實是一本叫左Elf on the Shelf的書, 書的內容大約是:這個小精靈是聖誕老人派來的小幫手, 家家戶戶都會有他在幫忙聖誕老人監督小孩乖不乖.然後他就會報告給聖誕老人. 所以我們帶他回家來監督小煤炭.呵呵

 Receives a happy mail from Taiwan on this day. I was so excited. Not only she sent one of her beautiful Christmas card to me, she also included a lot of crafting goodies. I am a happy, happy camper.

2012. December Daily Day 6

Ever since we set up our tree. I am also excited after dark, so I can plug it in and see the light. One night, while waiting for hubby and doggie to come home. I noticed the lights reflecting on the window. That really makes me feel cozy and happy. Especially, when it gets dark so soon outside.

當我們把聖誕樹裝飾完畢之後,我最喜歡的一天的活動就是,到了晚上把聖誕燈點亮. 有一個晚上我在等老公跟小煤炭回家的時後,無意中看到了聖誕燈在玻璃窗上的倒影,頓時,我感到心裡一股暖意. 尤其是在這的時後,每天都天黑的早,看到聖誕燈就讓人有幸福的感覺.

I love to bake, although I am excellent at it. But I do enjoy preparing for the ingredients and the process of waiting while it's in the oven. Before December, I proposed to a good friend of mine, Anita, who is an expert of baking. That we should pair up for holiday cooking project. She will be baking and I can be making crafts for the pastry and taking photos for us. Anita is excellent in Taiwanese style pastry as well as in Western style. As her close friend, I do have to watch how many time I can visit her. lol

我很喜歡烘焙,我也常常做東西吃.但是我烤的東西難登大雅之堂.我的好朋友Anita, 她則是烘焙達人.舉凡台式的麵包,蛋糕,餅乾等等,甚至西方的馬卡龍,法式麵包也難不倒她.身為她的朋友,我是一隻幸福的白老鼠,一路看著她從自己的興趣慢慢變成可以接單,我佩服她對烘焙的熱情和樂於接受挑戰的個性. 除了烘焙之外,她也一路陪著我走過不少的低潮. 如今能回復樂觀的我,她的功勞不小.
12月之前,我央求她陪我一起作我的December Daily,她負責烤東西,我來負責作手工來裝飾餅乾跟拍照. 很開心終於有機會可以跟Anita合作,也希望我們可以激盪出一些火花.

也歡迎大家造訪Anita的粉絲頁. 去感受一下她對烘焙的執著.流口水我不負責喔.哈哈

2012.December Daily Day 4

We had a girls day out today. The four of us got together in Concord for a very fun day.

As we were there, I asked my girlfriend to take a photo for me laying down on the leaves.

Three of them were telling jokes and teasing me about it. So I can't help but laughing. :) And It turned out this was my favorite shot of that day. We also went to a very good Sushi Buffet for lunch. That restaurant was really good. I'd love to give them 9 hand rolls of 10 as my review.

今天是開心的一天,我們一共有4個因為手作而認識的好朋友,終於在今年快要結束之前有了這麼一天的聚會.雖然那天沒有很多手作,只有笑話跟聊天.而且我們還去吃了好吃的Sushi buffet. 我給他個手捲的評分. 雖然那天很晚才回家,但是我們都是非常開心的.希望我們能常常有機會聚在一起.

對了,那天晚上還跟新加坡的小孟視訊了,真是快樂的一天.呵呵

2012.December Daily Day 3

Ever since we moved to our current home last year. We started to have a real Christmas tree as one of our own family tradition. I just love the smell and the atmosphere with a real tree in the house. We bought different ornaments at different destinations every year on our vacation. Whenever I hang them up, it reminds me every single happy memories from those trip. And I love that. 

Back to the photo, It's always so HARD to post our dog- Shiao Mei Tan(Little Charcoal) in front of the tree. I tried every year, but never find any success. This year, I finally have a friend came over to help me hold the cookie in front of her. And I got this shot. So cute.

12月的第3天.
從我們去年搬到新家之後,我們就開始了我們的傳統:買真正的聖誕樹. 我很喜歡真正的聖誕樹的味道,
每天早上起床之後走到客廳,聞到芬多精的味道,那種味道讓我覺得幸福和快樂.
我的朋友問我,為什麼我們家的聖誕掛飾不多,沒有讓整顆樹都滿滿的.因為我們的聖誕掛飾都是結婚之後每年出去旅行在目的地買回來的,深具紀念意義.每次掛上聖誕樹的時後,會想起每次旅行中快樂的回憶和美麗的景色,這些對我來說很有意義也很重要,所以我不願意買很多其他的掛飾.

言歸正傳,每年都想幫小煤炭拍一張在聖誕樹前的照片,卻從來沒有成功過,所以這次趁著朋友來家裡的時後,拿出餅乾來誘惑她,我便快速的拍下這張照片.呵呵

2012. December Daily Day 2

 I include a December Daily Studio Calico die cut into my December Daily album. Looks great with AC's glitter card stock.

On my second day, I pulled out more ornaments from our storage room. And doggie is nosy around the box and sniffing. She is trying to see if there's anything to eat. lol
I thought this picture was really worthy to take. Then I saw the print, I am totally in love.

12月的第二天,我們前一天把樹買回來之後,我隔天把剩下的聖誕掛飾拿出來,小煤炭就在箱子前面聞聞看有沒友好吃的,她自己覺得她是在幫我,就像小朋友一樣,真是可愛.
