Merry Christmas Flickr Friends!!
in fact, these are empty boxes from a display that i spotted at "old navy." love the colors.
I love Christmas. It's my favourite time of the year: a season of kindness and generosity, friendship, laughter and love. It is also the time of the year when we get to deck the halls with beautiful decorations.
I have a Christmas tradition. I bead Christmas baubles for a select group of friends every year. Each of these baubles is 15 centimetres in diameter and contain hundreds of sequins, varying in number depending upon the complexity of the pattern and the type of sequins I use. Most sequins in these baubles are 5mm in diameter, but there are others that are slightly bigger like the butterflies whcih are 8mm and some which are smaller, like the small flowers which are 3mm. Depending upon the colour of the sequin, I will use either a gold or a silver pin to attach it to the bauble.
These baubles are smaller than some others I do, however because they are complex patterns which start from the outside and are worked outwards in ever decreasing circles, each bauble takes approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours per side.
It is however, a labour of love which I do to pass the time throughout the year.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 5th of December is "behind glass". I usually photograph my hand made Christmas baubles in situ on the tree, which I did do, but this year before I packed them up to give away, I also photographed a selection of them for this week's theme in a small round vase, which I placed against a crushed red velvet background. I hope that you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
I am one of those people who really enjoy Christmas. I enjoy it for many reasons, not least of all because I get to give gifts I have gathered throughout the year to my family and friends.
In the lead up to Christmas, my dining room becomes a wonderland of Christmas wrapping and trimmings which I joking call the Christmas Wrapping Bureau, as I usually end up wrapping all my partner's presents as well as my own. However another reason I like Christmas is that I love wrapping gifts, playing with ribbons and bright paper. I think I have even managed to impress my Royal Doulton "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" porcelain decoration as she looks over my handiwork for this year!
Funnily enough, the day before the theme of "wrapped gifts" for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 23rd of December was announced, I had just finished all my Christmas wrapping, making it perfect for me to photograph. I was inspired by my friend Red Stilletto (www.flickr.com/photos/thevixen/) to apply a white border to this photo. It is her signature style which she uses to great effect. Thank you for inspiring me. It therefore seems apt that these are her gifts in the photo, all of which I gave to her when we saw one another on Tuesday! I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
As this is the last “Looking Close… on Friday” before Christmas, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy Festive Season. May it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
Merry Christmas... wrapping and boxing my presents...
Have a lovely Sunday...

Very rare visitor here in WV. They do migrate through parts (though I've never seen one around here), but December seems a little early . . . Taken Christmas Day.

Thanks for Viewing.
Baby Makes Three - Melanie Doane
Two is what we used to be
Me for you and you for me
You were all that I could see
Baby makes three
All those years so unsure
Then the stork he found our door
Tears of joy we could barely see
Baby makes three
But you...
You are my number one
Fall into bed when the day is done
Take a breath and wait for me
Baby makes three
All the good times safe in the bank
Starting to run on an empty tank
Nothing ever comes for free
Baby makes three
All those years so unsure
Then the stork he found our door
Tears of joy we could barely see
Baby makes three...
But you...
Dream come true
Stop dreaming of you
You stop dreaming of me
That's not the way I want it to be
But you...
You are my number one
Hold my hand when the day is done
You're still you and I'm still me
Baby makes three...

I received a box of cherry-filled chocolates as a Christmas gift. And since today, Dec. 28, is National Chocolate Candy Day in the United States, it seemed like a good time to break them out. Yum!

“Christmas Card” Pose (Help me out Sunny!)
I am one of those people who really enjoy Christmas. I enjoy it for many reasons, not least of all because I get to give gifts I have gathered throughout the year to my family and friends.
I shop for gifts all year around, and then hide them in places about the house where my partner won't find them (if they are for him) and in places out of the way for other recipients who might be visiting.
In the lead up to Christmas, my dining room becomes a wonderland of Christmas wrapping and trimmings which I joking call the Christmas Wrapping Bureau, as I usually end up wrapping all my partner's presents as well as my own. However another reason I like Christmas is that I love wrapping gifts, playing with ribbons and bright paper.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 16th of December is "bow", so here is the bow from just one gift currently sitting 'neath the tree. Perhaps the gift is for you! I wonder what is inside? I hope you like my choice of the theme this week, and that it makes you smile!

By magical I am reminiscing of my childhood in the 1950’s and early 60’s sitting by the record player at this time of year listening to Nat King Cole’s Christmas 33 rpm album, “The Magic of Christmas.”
Sally bought this gigantic dog bed for Potato, who has taken up residence on that table. She did, however, expect that Potato would share it with others.

"Value - true value - cannot be measured in the weight of gold or the carats of diamonds. True value is measured in how much an item resonates with us, and how much it makes our hearts sing with joy." - raaen99 (your humble photographer).
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 3rd of January is "precious gift", a theme where it is required to take a photo of something that was gifted to you, that you hold precious. It can be monetarily precious, or intrinsically valuable. I am very fortunate in the fact that I have ever so many people in my life that love me, both family and friends, that I have a multitude of choices for this theme. I could have chosen from this year's Christmas gifts anything from beautiful pieces of antique jewellery to a Little Red Riding Hood themed tassel made just for me, a tutu for my little bear Scout, to a hand made Christmas card designed with me in mind. All are notable and worthy, and the possibilities are infinite. In the end, hoping that I do not cause offense in doing so to the givers of the other gifts, I finally settled on one precious gift. This is a half-doll who is a brush half-doll (or whisk broom half-doll in you are in America). Made in Germany by Dressel and Kister, and hand painted, this was a gift to me from a very dear friend in America this Christmas. Why did I choose it? Well, I chose it for a number of reasons. Firstly, this friend is very precious to me, and enrichens my life with her presence, which alone makes any gift that she gives me intrinsically valuable. This friend now collects half-dolls as voraciously as I do, because I introduced her to the world of half-dolls, so this gift resonates with both of us and helps strengthen what is already a strong bond between us. I chose it because my friend and I both like to fossick in antique and curio shops, charity shops and auctions for forgotten and hidden treasures, and she fossicked around and found me this particular doll because she thought I would like it, which makes it very personalised. I chose it because, unbeknownce to my friend, stuck between the bristles of the broom and well hidden, was a secreted small slip of paper that I only noticed after I was looking over the half-doll closely after unwrapping her. The note, written in tiny spidery copperplate reads, "My parents gave this brush to my Grandmother Hannah in the 1930s". So this discovery resonates with my sense of domestic history, was a lovely bonus neither my friend nor I were expecting, and adds to the half-doll's value for me, as now I know a bit about her life story. I think that makes this half-doll perfect for this week's theme! I do hope you like my choice for the theme and that it makes you smile!
The "half-doll" is a dainty porcelain or bisque figurine, fashionable in the early Twentieth Century with an upper body, head, arms, but no legs. These dolls were produced in the thousands at the height of their popularity by German factories such as Dressel and Kister, Heubach, Goebel and Kestner. Later they were produced in France, America and later still, in Japan. They commonly served as handles and toppers for fabric covers made for powder boxes on ladies’ dressing tables and small brushes, however they were also made for jewellery boxes, pincushions, tea cosies and other covers. In this case, my beautifully hand painted German half-doll with her whimsical Dutch outfit is a brush half-doll.
24th January 2018:
I need some sun, my SAD is not good.
Grabbed my 'tea cosy' hat that Graham gave me for Christmas and took a close up of the colours.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)
NB. Sorry. but I can't upload groups and or people's photos. It's just overheating my laptop.
Will be back tomorrow Yahoo/Oath permitting.

How wonderfully civil; melt in the mouth butter shortbreads waiting to be eaten 'neath the Christmas tree.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 30th of December is "festive food", so what better festive food to share than some of my own home made offerings. I make butter shortbreads each year for family and friends for Christmas as a gift. What started as a small offering has now become almost too much for me as word spread, and requests came in. Now that I work part-time, it makes it a little easier. I have to set aside a whole weekend at least which I devote just to the baking of Christmas fare in my little kitchen. So as my oven temperature increases, so does the volume on my stereo as I play a selection of my Christmas albums whilst I bake.
This year I made thirteen trays of shortbread biscuits, so around two hundred shortbread biscuits, made with a recipe almost one hundred years old, each injected with just a bit of love to the recipients.
I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, that it makes you smile... oh and bon appétit!
As this is the last “Looking Close on Friday” of the year, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy New Year. May it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
"No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given – when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children..." - Joan Winmill Brown (British actress and writer).
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 12th of December is "dice". Now, I am no taker of risks, nor fan of gambling, so dice are few and far between in my household. However I do have one small Eighteenth Century ivory set of dice. They are tiny - so small in fact that this week, I have decided to place them with two of my 1:12 miniature Christmas presents, keeping up my Christmas theme in my photostream for the month of December. The dice and brightly wrapped Christmas gifts are set against a background of my 1870s edition board of "Jeu de l'Oie" (Game of the Goose). I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
The "Game of the Goose", also known as the "Royal Game of the Goose", is one of the first board games to be commercially manufactured. It is a race game that relies only on dice throws to dictate progression of the players. The board is often arranged in the form of a spiral, with game pieces starting on the most outward part. All spaces on the game board are numbered, with some depicting an illustration of either a goose or a hazard indicating a specified action. The aim of the game is to reach the 63rd space before any of the other players, while avoiding hazards such as the Hotel, the Bridge, and Death. The game is thought to have originated in Italy during the Fifteenth Century, being given by Francesco de Medici as a gift to King Philip of Spain. In the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century, the game gained immense popularity throughout Europe. The game's popularity led it to different adaptations throughout Europe and the United States. Despite numerous adaptations, the rules have mostly remained the same throughout the years.
These Christmas presents are 1:12 artisan pieces. They were hand made by husband and wife artistic team Margie and Mike Balough who own Serendipity Miniatures in Newcomerstown, Ohio.
What's in the present?... I'll have to wait until tomorrow, Wishing you all very Merry Christmas. Debbie ~ KissThePixel2019
Theme: Ribbons
357/365: The gift wrapping is finished so time for a nice cup of tea. Another fairly simple flatlay today as I am short of time.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 1st of December is "first name" where I have to portray a first name, either my own or another’s. In keeping with the spirit of the season, I always transform my photostream into a Christmas wonderland every December in the lead up to the festive season. What better way to start than with this hand written Christmas label on a Christmas present, waiting to be slipped ‘neath the Christmas tree? I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
How wonderfully civil; fruit mince pies waiting to be eaten 'neath the Christmas tree, accompanied by a nice cup of tea.
I make fruit mince pies each year for family and friends for Christmas as a gift. What started as a small offering has now become almost too much for me as word spread, and requests came in. Now that I work part-time, it makes it a little easier. I have to set aside a whole weekend at least which I devote just to the baking of Christmas fare in my little kitchen. So as my oven temperature increases, so does the volume on my stereo as I play a selection of my Christmas albums whilst I bake.
This year I made 136 individual mince pies, each made by hand using a sweet shortcrust pastry recipe more than a century old, to which I add a spoonful of love for everyone who receives them.
Merry Christmas and bon appétit!
It's Christmas time, my dear
And we said no gifts this year
I got one question if you'd let me
What did you get me?
Is it a tie? (No)
An ugly sweater? (Nuh-uh)
Matching pajamas? (No)
So something better? (Uh-huh)
Is it boujee like Gucci? (No)
Man, I thought I had it
No, baby, you're looking at it
Come on, wrap me up (wrap me up)
In your arms this Christmas
Wrap me up (wrap me up)
You don't need a wishlist
Wrap me up (wrap me up)
It's like Christmas magic
Wrap me up (wrap me up)
I'm the whole damn package
