Project 2012 -- Week 51

Project 2012 -- Week 51

December 16-22

Welcome to my Project 2012 weekly post! This is my time to look back over the past week,
choose seven favorite images I've taken, and share them here with you.
If you have a project you're working on, please leave a comment
so I can visit your blog and see what you're up to!

Wow--I almost didn't take any pictures this past week! Almost. It's kind of nice that business slows way down for me during this time, so all my focus can be on my family, my home, and the Lord at His birth.

These biscuits will probably make it on my family blog in the form of a recipe. They were tasty, though a little dry due to my overbaking them.

This picture of me is cheating for Project 2012--Danny took it. :)

Sometimes the sunsets out my kitchen window are fantastic, even with power lines and telephone poles. You have to get creative with the camera to capture them properly.

Then it was back to my beloved macro lens to capture some images from our Christmas tree. The figurines in the manger scene below are from my grandmother; she purchased them from a Ben Franklin store a looooong time ago. (Are those stores even around anymore??)

This year, I've been using 3M poster strips--they attach paper to wall (or other surface), then are easily removed without damaging the surface. Yep, there's my plug for 3M Command Adhesive, lol. It's so fun to decorate with people's greeting cards and pictures! (Oh, and I love the bokeh!)
