DIY: December Daily 2010

  I promised you I would keep you up-to-date with my December Daily project. Well, time got the better of me, and with all the Christmas celebrations going on, there was hardly enough time for anything at all, but I did manage to get a couple of pages done, and I’m still working on some more.   As I told you already, it is a rather interactive book – with lots of background information about Christmas. But as there is lots to discover, I hope it won’t get my readers too bored (once it’s done). Generally, I went for irregular page sizes. This makes assembling for me easy, because I don’t have to have each page matching perfectly. It has a really random feel to it and I’m glad I decided to do it that way. I’ll keep adding to the December Daily photo gallery, as I get more pages done, so make sure to come back later to check it out.

Around Town: In the store

So, guess what! I went shopping in the supermarket on campus that I always frequent today and encountered a curious thing: all the Christmas decorations were gone! Vanished! After most of that decoration had been up for over a year (or even  more?), collecting piles of dust along the way, now – just a few days after Christmas – it’s all gone! Now I don’t get to look at little Santa Clauses and Christmas baubles at Easter or in the summer holidays. But I guess, that’s a good thing, right?
