I went with 25 pages + a letterpressed cover. There were lots of opinions (thank you!) but ultimately, I went with what seemed to be the majority and also what I personally wanted to use. I am going to be keeping a holiday album this season. But it won't start December 1st or end on the 25th. It will probably get rolling right after Thanksgiving (or when I get my first red cup at Starbucks) and end around New Years. I am going to be working off the pages but also adding my own photos and ephemera. A page each day of December is a lot of pressure for me. But a good sized book is a helpful guideline. Below are images of all the pages.

The books will go on sale this Monday (November 2nd) at 3pm EST. They are $27 and will come with two red mailing labels for embellishing. A bit more than normal, but they are the thickest I have made & include a letterpress cover and a few extra stamped details. I hope they'll be enjoyed this season.

UPDATE : Books are available here.

I'll be sharing my progress on my own book throughout the month of December & P.S. for expert December Album making check out what Ali Edwards is up to.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
