Welcome to December, another fun-filled month at The Digital Press! Before you know it, we will be ringing in the New Year. 🙂 This year has truly flown by!
Right now, however, we interrupt your regularly-scheduled introduction of our “word of the month” to announce our new blog series — 12 Days of December. For the next 12 days, the Digital Press’s creative team will be filling the blog with fun seasonal posts every single day! Of course, we will still throw in some challenges in on our normal challenge days, as well. 😉 For all of the other days, though, we will be showing you great ways to “make it through the holiday season alive,” and hopefully in a fun and creative way! We hope you’ll enjoy this series as much as we’ve enjoyed compiling it!
Here’s a quick look at the schedule for the 12 Days series…
Meanwhile, during the month of December our word will be SIMPLIFY. I know that this is something that I, myself, struggle with. Each year, I swear the holidays get more and more crazy. So, along with the rest of the team here at TDP, we encourage you to SIMPLIFY your life this holiday season. We hope to be able to help you do so throughout the month, if you follow along!
In thinking about simplifying things… here is some fun inspiration I found on Pinterest:

Yes, December is a crazy chaotic time of year, and also often a crazy time of “acquiring more and more.” Please join us in letting go of the chaos and SIMPLIFY the season. Create minimalist layouts, use simple tricks to save time, and maybe de-clutter your stash!
Each month, we like to encourage you to step out of the box at times with our challenges. Below are the list of upcoming challenges for the month of December that focus on our theme of SIMPLIFY. For more information about our challenge system please read this post in our forums.
Here is a handy image you can save to your computer, featuring our lineup for December (made by the ever-talented Alina from the TDP creative team, using the brand new store collab Woodsy Winter that you can purchase for only $4 for the first 4 days of the month!).
We cannot wait to see how you implement our Word of the Month into your daily lives and memory-keeping.
