Merry Christmas, Kittens & Dawgs! This week zipped by like a flash. I was so busy doing this and that, that I didn’t have time to get bored or wish for Friday or anything but here it is Friday again. TGIF! Let’s get this holiday weekend off right with a few Christmas giggles.

The night I photographed The Island in Pigeon Forge, we stopped at The Christmas Village. This is the Christmas Inn across the road. Once again my exposure was too dark. The picture was ordinary but I saw potential. After putting it through Pixelmator – brightening the exposure, cropping, and adding some stars in the blank sky I am satisfied. I know, I know I’m cheating on my sky view shot but I hope you enjoy my SWF photo contribution.

I’m taking a bit of a blog break until the first of January and am not participating in Friendly Fill-Ins today, but you’re welcome to join Annie and Ellen. Here’s how it works – every Thursday four fun and easy blank statements are posted for us to borrow, complete, and share on our site. The point is to simply have fun linking, reading, and meeting others who enjoy this sort of thing.

I’m joining Lexa in Celebrate The Small Things. Here’s my list of celebrations!

I’m celebrating… having lots of fun baking Christmas goodies and making homemade candies for the season. This is something that gives me great joy but what makes me even happier is to share my creations. Hopefully, I can find a few people namely DD#1, DD#2, DSIL, and DS to pass my love to and if not… we’ll just eat it all ourselves. 🙂
