However, this is my first year doing any kind of foundation pages ahead of time.  I have the privilege of being able to stay at home with Henry this year, rather than going back to my full-time job as an elementary school teacher.  This has allowed me to have a bit more &#8220;free time&#8221;, (GIANT air quotes here), for scrapbooking projects, including prepping for December Daily!  I have completed four of the hexagon projects from the Product Play 3 class, and can&#8217;t wait to try some of the others soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030775-2-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1907\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=1907\" class=\"wp-image-1907\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030775-2-400x600.jpg 400w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030775-2-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030775-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030775-2.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030776-2-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1908\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=1908\" class=\"wp-image-1908\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030776-2-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030776-2-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030776-2-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030776-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030777-1-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1909\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=1909\" class=\"wp-image-1909\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030777-1-400x600.jpg 400w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030777-1-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030777-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030777-1.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030778-2-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1910\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=1910\" class=\"wp-image-1910\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030778-2-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030778-2-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030778-2-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030778-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided to take the Product Play 3 class after seeing so many amazing, inspiring projects in the December Daily facebook group.  I have to say, it is hands-down one of my favorite gifts I have ever given myself.  Henry&#8217;s nap time has turned into full on arts-and-crafts time around here.  I bought myself a fuse tool and a score board with a bone folder, and am ACTUALLY USING THEM.  I have been going through my hoarded December Daily supplies and organizing them and, again, USING THEM.  It feels so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030780-1-400x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1911\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=1911\" class=\"wp-image-1911\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030780-1-400x600.jpg 400w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030780-1-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030780-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030780-1.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030783-1-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1912\" data-link=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/?attachment_id=1912\" class=\"wp-image-1912\" srcset=\"http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030783-1-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030783-1-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030783-1-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/amyalphin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/P1030783-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I love that the lessons, and the class in general, are an invitation to play with all of the pretty products that have been languishing in a drawer waiting for the &#8220;right moment&#8221;.
