first up - a giveaway!! i'm planning a giveaway for each month of 2012 as a way to share some of my favorite PL products. to enter, just leave a comment on this post. i'll draw a winner on 1.20.2012.

week 52 // december 24-31 : christmas eve. christmas. new year's eve. and a whole lot in between. when i sat down to plan out my week, i decided i did NOT want to do an insert. so i edited. a lot. i also used the back page of the album to finish up the week. it worked out well.
lots of christmas eve / christmas day here. i couldn't resist adding the cinnamon roll wrapper - a totaly christmas morning tradition here.
i had to use the 1925 sticker from this crate label sheet - it's the year our house was built.
for christmas afternoon with family, i went with a photo collage. except the pic of matthew + the boys is from christmas morning, because i apparently missed snapping a photo of him at my grandma's. oops.
the smaller pockets hold the more everyday moments. sweet celine sent me some amazing kesi'art papers + labels from france and i had to use them right away!
and the back page. i'll add ben's zoo name tag to that top pocket when i find it. ;)
you didn't think i'd close out 2011 without a little confetti did you?? =)
i am SO glad to have this album. even though there's a handful of weeks still missing, i love what it's captured. it's been an amazing experience - it's really made me rethink how i take photos + tell stories.
