If you have yet to check out this website – it is a must for daily inspiration.  On really hard days, I can open my e-mail, and 9 times out of 10 whatever the daily truth is, I can apply it to that day and the way I’m feeling.  Usually it makes me think of the world differently and see my self-worth when things aren’t going the way I’ve planned for them to go.  So check out their the Brave Girls Club, and definitely sign up for their Daily Truths.  Below is today’s Daily Truth:

As you all know I am a big fan of Ali Edwards and love the ideas she comes up with.  In 2006, I decided to embark on Ali’s Holiday Card Layout.  My album consists of a 1 page newsletter which charts our year in review, along with one layout with just a collage of our favorite pics from the year.  Next I include a one page layout, without journaling of some of our favorite pics from the Christmas Season, the next page is one page which include bits and pieces of the Christmas cards we received from family and friends.  In 2010 however, our newsletter was 2 pages, and I did a 4 page spread from our Christmas card.  I love so many of the cards that it was hard to decide what pieces to cut out.  Also we received a New Year’s card from President Obama and his family, that I couldn’t cut up, so I just put the card in its own protective sleeve so you can see the front and back of the card.  I really enjoy this yearly addition to chart our Christmas.  And the fact that no journaling is required, it make for a simple, easy layout, which I usually do while watching a little tv at night.  Hope you enjoy and for more information regarding this project on Ali Edwards website, you can click here.
