If you’re as crackers about Christmas as I am chances are you’ve already decorated your Christmas tree and festooned it and the rest of the house with hundreds of twinkling lights. Which is why today I thought I’d share a couple of my favourite effects for photographing Christmas lights that really bring out the sparkle and fun of the festive season.
If you’re of a certain age (i.e. around 40) then chances are you had one of those giant plastic Santa sacks for Christmas when you were little. Mine was white and neon yellow with a scary looking Santa face on the front. Let’s face it they were essentially a jazzed up bin bag which lasted only a few Christmases before it started to disintegrate in the way that plastic bags are wont to do. Fast forward a few (far too…
Oh my stars, what a Christmas! We are all jolly hollied out and in that lovely state of post-Christmas, pre New Years limbo where it’s perfectly acceptable to be busy doing absolutely nothing. As much as I love the run up to Christmas I do so enjoy this little bit of downtime before the hustle and bustle begins anew. On Christmas Eve Bubs opened her special box of goodies and devoured the marshmallows before breakfast; something I’m not keen to…
Around here it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. The trees (we have three) went up on the 6th and every day since we’ve been adding festive touches to each room. There are lights draped over anything that stands still long enough and garlands swathed up the staircase. Even the downstairs loo is in on the festive fun! We have three dogs so all of our trees and garlands are of the fake variety lest any stray needles end…
When you’re a scrapbooker and a Project Lifer you’re never short of opportunities to document both the amazing and the mundane aspects of life. But there’s something about the festive season that calls to our scrappy hearts and makes us want to do more. To celebrate the stories and emotions of this wonderful time of year. There are numerous ways to document the season with some creating a daily album that includes every day life as well as festive elements…
I hope you’ve all had a great Christmas! We’ve had a lovely one and now we’re relaxing and awaiting the New Year. I thought I’d share some of my favourite pictures from the last few days. I was in mummy mode so I didn’t actually have my camera out very often but I’m really happy with the few pictures I did manage to get. By the way that’s Hubs and his mum attempting to put together a Frozen jigsaw puzzle,…
The title says it all really. I have a to-do list as long as my arm; at the top of which is finish a crochet blanket that seems to have a thousand ends that need sewing in, supervise the construction of a gingerbread house (dear God help me!), decorate a Christmas cake and wrap all of the prezzies I’ve bought. I also need to *sob* do the ironing although that’s very, very far down the list. Practically at the bottom…
