This year has been challenging for me due to health issues, and I'm finally getting around to wrapping presents. Although I couldn't get as many as I would have liked, I truly believe that it's the thought that matters, not the quantity of gifts. I am someone who finds immense joy in watching others open their presents. Seeing the smiles on their faces as they tear through the wrapping paper to discover the treasures inside fills my heart with happiness. This is what I cherish most in life. It's these small moments that stay with me, not the number of gifts I received or their contents, but the wonderful people gathered around the tree and the joy they brought me this year.

18/52: Project 52 - Beyond reach
It's my son's birthday today and his girlfriend did a treasure hunt for him to find the presents she had bought. Each present was wrapped then placed in a plastic bag and padlocked. He had to pick the padlocks to get into the present. He had great fun doing that. When it was all finished I wrapped and padlocked a present to recreate the idea for my photo as I thought it would be a good idea for beyond reach. The background is some scrunched up wrapping paper.

As usual, this post has a story! When our daughter comes to visit, she is always laden with goodies she's been stashing for a month or more, depending on when she is available to make a trip from MASS to CT!
A friend of a friend gave this handmade, Laurel Burch textiled pouch to Alison, but since she knows I have loved these designs for over 50 years, she decided to pass it along . . . because she had an uneven number of gifts for Richard, she presented it to him!
Well, I immediately grabbed it from him, but not for myself, but for a birthday gift for my dearest, oldest friend's (RIP) daughter as she was also part of the kitty cat craze! Of course I can never send a zippered bag without one of my dangles, so, in addition to that, I added a *retro* button of Laurel Burch's, and also made some wrapping paper! VOILA!
We all got a chuckle out of this act of repurposing!
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Goodbye 2020! Hope to Never See You Again!
HSoS!

So I know this quote really doesn't have much to do with this shot, but I foundi t and thought it was hilarious!
Did some more decorating yesterday, and as you can see, some people were more concerned with eating ice cream and drinking than helping! Guess they were bored!
And of course "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase was in the DVD player! One of, if not the BEST Christmas movies!!!
Enjoy your Sunday my friends!

as soon as I set about the task of taking the ornaments off the tree and wrapping them up, Vinny was right there to roll around in the papers and do his best to distract me from my task!
Along with our busy holiday week-end, we also attended a friend's wedding on Saturday. My husband was the wedding photographer. I managed to snap a few along the way. This image is from our gift that we gave the couple. The wrapping paper I used had images of Victorian little girls playing dress-up. This is of the wedding image. I cut her out and glued it onto the wedding card envelope. I then added glitter spray to add some sparkle. I think she is so cute!
Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and best wishes for the new year to everyone!
Abstracts are not everyone's cup of tea, but to me this would make nice wrapping paper.
We are looking at the topside of a lettuce sea slug (Elysia crispata). It was down in a crevice, so this angle was my only option. They are usually blue and white with a bit of pink. My hunch is that this one ate a different set of algae, giving it a distinctive color palette.

Another dull day today and by the time I got around to taking my photo the light had all but gone. So I had to use my speedlite which I haven't really got the hang of so it's pure guesswork.
We are out for a Christmas meal tonight and have to take a couple of gifts for the Secret Santa...at least it gave me an idea for my POTD!
My effort for the Relf family Christmas hat competition 2007
Gosh - thanks for all the comments my friends! I've had trouble getting online, as I am competing with the lovely Relfy and our father. Incidentally, my sister's hat is here:

I'll try and look at yours soon. But in the meantime, hope you're all having a great holiday!!

Scharf auf Süßigkeiten. Auf einen Lutscher.

I do not know exactly how it is so common elsewhere – here in Germany incredibly many sweets are distributed on the carnival parades, thrown from the cars into the crowd.
When she was little, my daughter was disguised as a tightrope walker during one of these parades. Sugar sweet – but the disguise was sometime secondary – and the bags full of sweets much more exciting ;-)
The plastic-wrapped object of desire in this picture is a type of a lollipop that my mother sometimes brought from shopping when I was little. Very delicious and wonderful to look at. If you are curious, see the link:

Ingredients: lollipop, photographic print, sunlight.

Ich weiß nicht genau, wie es anderswo so üblich ist – hier in Deutschland werden auf den Karnevalsumzügen unglaublich viele Süßigkeiten verteilt, von den Wagen in die Menschenmenge geworfen.
Als sie noch klein war, war meine Tochter bei einem dieser Umzüge als Seiltänzerin verkleidet. Zuckersüß – aber die Verkleidung war irgendwann nebensächlich – und die Tüten voller Süßigkeiten viel spannender ;-)
Das in Plastik eingewickelte Objekt der Begierde auf diesem Bild ist ein Exemplar von einem Lutscher, den meine Mutter manchmal vom Einkaufen mitgebracht hat als ich klein war. Sehr lecker und wunderhübsch anzusehen. Wer neugierig ist, siehe sich den Link an:

Zutaten: Lutscher, Fotoabzug, Sonnenlicht.

Another holiday, another excuse to chase my cats around with a camera in a chaotic mess of an attempt to capture some cute photos of the furry devils. This time it was Biscuits and Frank who were the most cooperative, though that’s only relative to Gravy (who dug his claws into my foot and brought the photo session to an early and unpleasant end). Still, I’m pretty happy with the results!
This is the help I get when wrapping my presents. From my archives just too busy at the moment for new shots

Some gifts are big. Others are small.
But the ones that come from the heart
are the best gifts of all.

Für "Smile on Saturday"
Thema "Recycled" am 16.01.2021.
A "Happy Smile on Saturday" and
a nice weekend for all of you.
Stay safe / Bleibt gesund.
Thanks so much for all your faves and comments.
There are more ways than one to enjoy a shark attack!
Couldn't resist posting this for the group,
Smile on Saturday! :-) whose theme for the week
is "Paper" . . .
Just felt like gliding all over my screen
on this beautiful Sliders Sunday!
It's almost Bench Monday,
but I'm going to lag behind awhile
and practice my figure eights!
...that, no matter what you buy them, the 'kids' always end up playing with the wrapping more than the gift itself :-) This is sweet little Ella peeping out from her Christmas wrap tent - the paper was covering a new little cat condo we bought them.
Happy Holidays my dear Flickr friends, however you celebrate the season - or not. Wishing you all the very best and thank you for your kind support, friendship, and amazing inspiration.

There is always someone around to "help" you when you're wrapping gifts here at Cat Hill Farm
Need some paper shredded?
Need some bows chewed on?
No problem. We have several cats here that would be happy to assist you.
