December 6th "Shopping"

Okay, so today's topic is shopping. My thoughts for today were everywhere so my first picture was of a bunch of our Christmas shopping bags from Black Friday in front of my very generous neighbors door! Then I thought of another idea but I needed a person ... so I asked my neighbor Gracie and she was SUCH a good sport to say yes!!! :) I was so glad! Since I had just grabbed her from what she was doing she was conscious about how she would look, although she is a beautiful woman, I eased her mind by making it so that she was out of focus and the joy blocks were in focus! I think she is still beautiful even out of focus, don't you agree? So anyway this is what I came up with! Thank you Gracie again, you are AWESOME! This picture is of a happy shopper! Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

 
 

December 5th "Today's Temperature"

Well today's challenge seemed interesting at first and then I remembered that my wonderful husband has a Galileo thermometer.When the temperature changes the glass balls inside float up and down according to the temperature. I took the thermometer outside and decided I wanted some Christmas in the picture so That is why the snowman is in the background showing the date Dec. 5! Anyway here are the pictures for today! 

Merry Christmas!

 
 

P.S. The temperature is actually 48 degrees today not 68 degrees. The thermometer only goes to 64 degrees and I didn't want to sit outside that long so this is what we have! :) 

December 4th "Joyous"

Well, today I have been thinking a lot about what makes me joyous during the Christmas season! At first I thought about my family and then I thought about all the Christmas decorations that bring cheer and love. Then I realized that my family is not here so I can't take a picture of them and I have taken so many pictures of my tree that I had to think of something else. So then I thought what makes me happy on a cold day? Hot Cocoa with a peppermint stick! :) Yay! That sounded joyous to me! So I made myself a good cup of Hot Cocoa and used my favorite wood background and came up with this picture! :) Enjoy! 

Merry Christmas!
