I'm wrapping Christmas presents and catching up on Tivo tonight. That's my brother's present there.

I can't believe another year has flown past. It's not been a great year for us, but we're going to celebrate the awesome things in our lives, like our daughters, family and friends

 

I wish you all a festive season filled with joy and happiness with your families and friends.

December 11 - Name a holiday tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation in your family.

 

The opening of Christmas presents on Christmas Eve (as opposed to the stereotypical opening of presents on Christmas Morning) is a tradition I grew up with, and I married into a family that also is a Christmas Eve family, so this is a tradition that is continuing on with our generation.

 

Since I don’t have any wrapped presents to photograph yet, here’s some wrapping paper instead.

This is the best Publix I have ever been to. It's three times the size of the average store, and carries products no other location does. The condition of the store is always flawless, there isn't a speck of dust to be found anywhere. Also, every single employee is always in an extremely good mood, and they're all very eloquent. The guy who retrieved my cart from the parking lot showed me a better way to knot my bags, we got to talking and I learned he has a degree in engineering. I don't know what it is about this particular Publix, it's better than Disney World.

Office wars at work... and I stayed late to take the win.

Jan 14 was the 1-year anniversary of my Picture365 project (full suite of photos at www.picture365.net). It has led to such personal innovations as:

 

Sliced Fruit

Self Portraits

Lighting

Backgrounds

Backdrops

Macro

Micro

Time Lapse

Judgement Lapse

Punny Titles

 

and all sorts of attempts to "get that picture today." It's been so much fun, really (and it was inspired by all the great photos I see on Flickr), that I am extending it another year- Picture365 Take 2 (though the website will remain the same).

 

The photographic journey has been one of baby steps- not epiphanies, though I still hope for one. I suppose if there was an epiphany, it was that becoming a better photographer is, in fact, achieved by taking Baby Steps.

 

Each day, I had to take a photo of something, and not my hand or something stupid. So I had to experiment, crack open the camera's manual, whatever, to try to get something different. Some things worked, some things didn't. I ended up with some good tools to use, and some ideas on composition.

 

Here's to another year and the hope that at the very least, I learn as much more in 2008 as I did in 2007.

... more playing with putting kaleidoscopes in front of each other - this is looking at some shiny gold wrapping paper

I needed some pretty, vintagey but not too kitschy giftboxes for christmas - and figured you could use some, too!

 

These gifts come as

- decorative version (COPY/MOD): one linked set à five boxes, Land impact 3, plus five single giftboxes , land impact <1 each.

 

or as

-giftable version (TRANSFER/MOD): one linked set plus five single giftboxes - if you unlink the set you get 10 packages to fill and give out!

 

Available at the mainstore in Essex - at the Christmas gazebo

 

This is a sample of a kaleidoscope tessellation requested by, and created for, a friend (Gina) I met here on Flickr. She makes candy wrappers, gift wrap, bookmarks, etc., but her site is no longer online, so I'm not sure where to get her products any longer.

 

Only sample tiles are available for viewing since I used her original picture instead of one of my own or one from Flickr with a CC license.

just some of my vintage stash; my Mom gave me a whole box of this!! I love it, and have only used it by scanning and printing the designs.

Running short of ideas for the last couple of topics, so have been looking to photoshop for a bit of inspiration...

i was feeling very sentimental late last evening and looking through old photographs of christmas

Could not chose between these two.

 

he just sat and sat while we draped him in paper, etc, he seemed quite happy to just sit and then lie, he was there in the middle of the room for hours!!!!

That princess paper is SO pretty, but the roll wasn't very big at all. :(

I finally got the chance to use a couple of decorative pins. I also tucked a few tiny pressed flowers into the vintage ribbon bow.

 

The corner stamps are from a Halloween set. I'm really liking the cursive birthday greeting stamp, part of a larger set I had been drooling at whenever I went to Michael's. It's a touch wonky, but that's the charm of hand-made, right?

Some very old vintage (circa 1983) smurf wrapping paper that my mother used for my gift this year. That was almost as cool as the gift. Sometimes my mom surprises me.

Make that special gift a true surprise with this colorful and fun gift wrap from designdesign.us

Hangeul/Hanja-themed wrapping paper. Some Dongdaemun shops are incredibly specialized.
