Cinder is styling in her sweater. I went to buy a red one and ended up with two grays - what's up with that? They go great with my hair though... Happy Season, Deanna.

I read it early this morning on the treadmill {iPad} but couldn't comment until now. But I will tell you I've been singing Christmas Carols ever since I read it. Yes, I am feeling the Christmas spirit and your post has helped that. Adore all the lovely photos and Cinder ... well, let's just say I can't wait to walk through your always beautiful front door again and meet him!Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-58410703701457469042013-12-13T08:02:40.120-08:002013-12-13T08:02:40.120-08:00Life is a little of this and a little of that and ...Life is a little of this and a little of that and I thank you for sharing your moments. The "freshened" wreath looks wonderful. You are such a crafty lady! I am in love with your ornament shot with the merry Christmas text repeated over it and agree with Terri, would make a lovely Christmas card. Congratulations on the new lens! You know, I was looking at that exact same one while vacationing in San Diego a couple of monts ago. Had it strapped on my camera body and everything. Wound up being seduced by the Nikkor 70-300 f/5.6 however. What can I say, I'm a Nikon girl! Remember Deanna, you really aren't late for Christmas. It's 12 days away. Now is the perfect time for decorating, listening to Carols, and feeling the joy of the season. Enjoy your 12days. Merry Christmas.CarolHarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535526506601587242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-5501020321940589752013-12-13T07:57:37.271-08:002013-12-13T07:57:37.271-08:00I love the little bits of your life, and especiall...I love the little bits of your life, and especially love the beautiful front door wreath! So festive! I did finally finish decorating, I simplified this year and didn't put it all out and I'm enjoying that! Merry Christmas to you, too, Deanna!

I saw some of those mini poinsettias the other day and wondered what one would do with them. Now I have a great idea thanks to you! Cinder looks adorable in her Christmas sweater but I agree, she could probably use a trim! The ornament shot should be a Christmas card for sure! Just lovely! Okay, enough exclamation points. Will close by saying I love your "slice of life" writing and your beautiful photos . . . and you! terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-3472915065481088932013-12-13T05:35:00.369-08:002013-12-13T05:35:00.369-08:00What a cute little dog.

I'd love to take this opportunity to tell all of you gals how much I enjoy your posts. I have you on the sidebar of my blog so I don't miss one. And even though I don't comment often I read you almost daily and your photos are inspiring. I have so much to learn about photography. I just got a DSLR for Christmas with two lenses and haven't a clue what to do with them. After the holidays I'll have to read the manual and do some online tutorials. But the few pics I have taken so far show a drastic improvement over my point and shoot camera. Can't wait to give it a workout over the holidays. Any suggestions?

Merry Christmas to you, Deanna. I'm not done the preparations. Oh, far from it. Worst case scenario, they all get vitamins in their stockings. I am calm this year (relatively) and that feels good. Not as stressed as other years. I am happy it snowed here. It seems more normal to see snow and I do love the snow. Okay, stop rambling, Pam! Okay. Enjoy your day, ladies.<br />oxoxoAFishGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05513718005250273753noreply@blogger.com
