Today I have another Disneyland 2026 page for you, but a different character. Same kit of paper and stickers too.
Hello again! This is getting very real! My daughter started online training for her mission this week, everything is purchased, we have flight information, just waiting for time to pass! That should mean I get a little more time for new paper crafting soon, too...!
Not at all surprisingly, she loves the calendar. She did forget I was doing this and she was so excited looking thru it.
Here are the next four calendar pages she's taking with her!
December
Happy Friday to you! Another late post... I hope this isn't becoming a thing!
I hope you're looking forward to the weekend, mine will be PACKED.
My family and I are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You may know our church as LDS or Mormons. My older daughter has chosen to serve a mission for our church, and you may have seen our missionaries, wearing black name tags in your town. Missionaries choose to leave home and college and regular life, to serve, and are assigned to serve in a specific location. My daughter will be going to the Lubbock Texas mission, which includes about half of New Mexico as well as western Texas. She will do her training in Mexico City and she'll be primarily working with people who speak Spanish. She is SO excited. It will be a lot of work for her, for the next nineteen months, and it has been some work preparing as well. But this will be a wonderful adventure and we are all very happy for her.
She speaks in church this Sunday, as is traditional before a missionary leaves. That means we're expecting around 75 people (there were 62 people in my house plus the five of us!) to come to our house afterwards, which is fun, but a lot, haha. And that means we've been spending this entire week prepping.
I saw an idea to make a photo calendar for your missionary so they have photos of home hanging in their room. And also it's a bit of a photo album they can show their companions (something like a roommate). Well...I can make a photo calendar! (I used to do these as Christmas gifts for both my husband's and my parents.) I decided to go with 12x12 size for my daughter, so it's not a great photo album for taking around, ha, but it will be nice wall decor that will also be fun for her.
It's sort of a surprise for her, but she still contributed. For example, she selected a huge album of photos she thought she might want to take, which I selected from, haha... And I asked for some of her favorite scripture verses and some of her favorite worship songs and hymns. Also, I *told her I would make her a calendar, rather than print 90+ photos. So it's a surprise she knows about? haha.... yes.
And so! I will split up the 20 "pages" into a few separate posts, so as to not bore you to death, ha. The photos span the last three or so years, mostly of her with different family and friends. She chose the sillier ones- photos I would not have included, but clearly, she wanted reminders of the fun times too. And the nature pictures are, I think, entirely her own photography, which is fun.
...for this year anyway, haha!
This is a very late post for today. I've been trying to catch up on books for my oldest daughter, so right now I have yet another Easter page for you. This one was all about the pretty DP, and some cute photos.
