01. Overhearing the conversation in the morning between my girls. Megan was discussing the likelihood that she could win the prizes offered on the back of the Pops cereal box.
02. The days are slipping away. It won't be long now.
03. My Monday always includes several loads of laundry.
04. Tess diligently practicing the piano for her group lesson next week.
05. Poinsettias for my hilarious elderly neighbor. I went to visit her today at the health care center, but unfortunately it was quick because she was sleeping. I wish I had an instant camera so I could have left a photo with the flowers. I did leave a card, but she knows my face not my name.
06. Megan came in the laundry room to do her homework while I was ironing. Long after I was done I found her in the same position working away. I believe that's what you call in the zone.
07. I went out on errands and passed a park along the way. Had to get out and walk around, it was such a warm December day.
08. Wrapping.
09. We went downtown to see the lights at temple square. Always one of our favorite traditions during the Christmas season.
10. Our Christmas card came in the mail today, freshly printed. I am so happy with them. Thanks for taking the photo Jill.
11. The view of the lights from inside the tabernacle.
12. Lights, lights, and more lights.
As I'm finishing up this post I'm having the hardest time believing this is our last 12of12 of the year. This is my third straight year doing this challenge and it's still one of my favorite ways to document my life.
I love that no matter how similar your day to day can be each 12of12 comes out looking completely different. A lot of that has to do with you, the viewer, and how you're seeing the world on that particular day. It's what makes each day uniquely yours.
I hope when you take the time to look back at your year of twelves collectively it paints a beautiful picture of your everyday life. I hope the challenge has given you the opportunity to see details that often go unnoticed because they're always around you. I hope you'll be ready to do it all again in January.
I'm up for it--are you?

This is my favourite of all projects to do. Thanks so much for your inspiration through this year! I look forward to joining in again in 2012. (I participated in Elizabeth Dillow's latest e-book: Take Twelve. LOTS of inspiration http://www.ellapublishing.com/catalog/ella-fun/take-twelve-guided-inspiration-kit)
I love love love this project! I look forward to it every month. Poinsettias are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. I'm eager to visit temple square this year. Hopefully the hubby and I can make a trip up there soon. I love the lights.
I haven't participated every month, but I do love this project because it captures everyday small moments I'd probably forget about. Next year I will try to do this every month for sure.
Love the shot of your family walking on the temple grounds, so pretty. The one with the wrapping paper makes me happy--so bright and fun.
I'm so glad that I came across your blog. I love 12 of 12. As I said in my post it helps be focuss on the little blessings I forget about when life gets busy. As always I am inspired how you make your every day life so magical with your beautiful photos. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and I will see you in the new year.
I LOVE this project. I'm definitely on board for 2012.
My favorites of yours this month are, of course #4 :), and #11. Gorgeous shot!
I love this challenge too! I'll be continuing. Can't miss this fun way to document my life. And it helps my family to know when it is the 12th of the month. ha!
Good for you for taking time to take a walk in the park!
And it was fun to see you the other night.
Have a beautiful day G!

You already know how much I love this project, but looking back on an entire year of 12x12 is awesome. Everyone gets excited for the 12th and I'll admit a couple of times I've purposely scheduled things on the 12th because I knew it would be a cool photo for my 12x12.
Thanks again for the introduction!
xoxo
I love the picture from the park. Your Temple Square Lights made me a little homesick; we went and saw the lights at the DC Temple tonight and it just wasn't the same. Looking forward to doing this again next year.
Yes I'm ready! I love that 12of12 thing, and I always enjoy the way I can picture my day... Very intesting and as you say, different all the time, even it seems that days are similars...
Thank you again fot this great idea, ans see you next week!

I really love this project too. your day looks delightful. i'm sure your CHristmas card is wonderful.
I love participating in 12 on the 12th and am so happy to have completed my 2nd year!
How satisfying to get your cards done. I've had mine sitting here for almost a week but haven't gotten to touch them yet, which is sad because this is the earliest we've ever been ready!
