Chunks ...

I don't know about you, but chunking is the only way I am managing to keep this December project going. Though as I type, 'chunk' sounds a little too, well, chunky. I'm thinking more of what you get when you take a culinary knife to hunks of chocolate, and chop 'em down even further. Nibbles? Nobbles? Dust? Have we got a word?

That's the equivalent I'm talking about and it's sometimes only a minute or two long. Download the snapshots, attend to something else, open the template, attend to someone else, drop in a photo, attend to somewhere else, type a title ... you've got the picture. Micro-scrapping. So far, that's got me to here:

I'm hoping it might lead me to being up-to-date by the finish of the weekend ... Oops, time's up! See you soon?

A Book of December Days (-ish) ...

You were so right, Susanne, about a December Daily: "everything takes longer than you think it will. And you'll change your mind more than you think you will". Recent events have tossed that comment right into the space in front of me, and it's jumping up and down and waving: Hey, look, pay attention!

So my previously simple December Daily layout has morphed into the über simple: one photo with writing on it. It doesn't get much simpler. There are few common threads to link them together: a heading, a collection of three subtitles, a date, and some rounded corners. The size and shape might vary because I don't have time to make each absolutely identical. But I am, at least, on my way ...

It might even reach completion this year.  And how are you finding the process? Did you make A Plan and are sticking to it? Or have you found yourself where Susanne and I are? It may not be the Full Monty, true, but I'm actually quite liking the -ish ...

Apologies ...

... for going AWOL. Difficult circs up here, head bobbing above the water, hope to be back later in the week. Did someone say it was December? This was the view this morning ... Warm regards to all.
