Hello December!

Time really flies, doesn't it... I can't believe it's already December! I mean, where did the rest of my year go? Don't get me wrong, I love this time of the year – lights, Christmas trees, joy, hot chocolate, ornaments, Christmas songs and movies, magic, snow (hopefully)...what's not to love about it. But, each year, I feel like the time has just flown by me and I haven't done anything important during the past year. Usually I feel really bummed about it, but this year I'm really looking forward to the new year. You see, a couple of days ago, I concluded that this has been one of the worst years in my life, if not THE worst. So, I can't wait to put everything that happened in the past tense and start all over again – I mean, what's the new year if not the opportunity for the new beginning, right?

Well, anyway, it's been over a month since my last post (shame on me!) which is not even near my initial plans I had for this blog. In my defense, two previous months have been a bit crazy and I had some health issues that I had to solve, so I wasn't even thinking about this blog. But I'm back, and I definitely plan to address this little blog more seriously in the next year.

Today's post won't be exactly a DIY. Instead I would like to start a series of posts through December with the purpose of celebrating the most magical time of the year. Initially, I planed to make an Advent calendar for myself, with cute presents and little tasks through December, but I wasn't able to finish it in time. However, I found a very cute December challenge on Pinterest that can replace an Advent calendar in a certain way. It's photo-a-day challenge with the aim of capturing December and all its magic. So...without further ado, here are my photos from day 1 to 6.

Dec, 1st: "My view today"

Dec, 2nd: "Favorite holiday movie"

Dec, 3rd: "Red"

Dec, 4th: "Today's temperature"

Dec, 5th: "Shopping"

Dec, 6th: "Stockings"...well, "Boots for St. Nicholas Day", actually...

And if anyone reads this (anyone?) and would like to join me in this challenge, here is the list of all tasks.

As you can notice, I've cheated a little bit – I decided to rearrange a few dates according to my traditions and/or mood. :) Guilty!
