Along Came A Spider......

While making dinner tonight, I heard my mom call my name from the other side of the laundry room door, she lives upstairs and we are in the basement.... anyway if you know my mom at all you know her glass is always half full.... and the "little things" make her day. So she tells me I have to bring my camera and best lens in to take a photo of something (didnt hear what she had said) and quickly. So I get into her place, and she says "you'll never see this again" - I've heard this before from her many times, most of the time she turns out to be right. So hanging from the ceiling is a dead fly. Yep - Amazing. It was hanging there dead.... on a web. Kinda odd, so I started shooting it, thinking it was going to be utter failure on my part.

But I was wrong, as my husband called it the "4 hours of messing around with bug pictures"...... amazing what an artsy-fartsy gal can do with some bug pics and photo shop !


Boring Shots........

Bibbity-Bobbity-Boo...... Ta Da (I love to photo shop)

Deck the halls with boughs of holly...... Decorating our house for Christmas 2010

Each year I buy christmas decorations, gift wrap and such for 50% off after Christmas, so this year I was particularly excited about some reindeer tree ribbon I had been saving for this year. I have had little ribbon before but this ribbon is thick and I wasn't sure how I was going to decorate the tree with it without looking odd. My daughter and husband were a big help with decorating.... Victoria did all the candy canes and unbreakables and Jason untangled the wire hangers, hooked them to an ornament and handed them to me so I could put them on the tree (not sure if he enjoyed this... he did it last year too).
And besides the cat climbing the tree multiple times.... I think our tree looks beautiful !
