Christmas is almost here !

Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is comming to town!

Santa Claus is Comin’ To Town | The song was written in 1932 by the musician John Frederick Coots and lyricist Haven Gillespies

I can`t believe Christmas is almost here !

It is time of family gathering for the holidays, beloved traditions and celebrations with our loved ones.

This year we have a new Christmas decoration.

A new Christmas tree :

I was inspired to create a 12x12 digital page :

SUPPLIES

I love Christmas lights. So, I decided to try a little different kind of photography this year: Christmas Light Bokeh. Sincerely, I like the results. =)

First, our balcony lights :

After, our Christmas tree :

I really loved play with these lights. And, I love our new ornaments too. These bears are so cute, aren`t they ?

We have more Santa Claus decoration. This one is made of wood. Definitively, adorable. Am I wrong ? =)

Yes, I do love the lighs even at daylight !

As we look forward to this holiday season and the New Year, I would like to express my gratitude for your dedication to read this blog. I wish you love, peace, hope, happiness, and prosperity in a new year. I wrote it to Santa Claus. He is reading it right now...

Now, I must go back to the kitchen. I have a little more to
bake ! =)

Yes, I am thankful you are stopped by here !

Happy Holidays !

Photo post-processing

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Photographs have a lot to say. This picture I took in the 25th wedding anniversary of my sister-in-law. This is one photo I am proud of. I didn't use any Photoshop action, filter or post-processing. This shot is a focusing, light and composition miracle =). I swear...

This nice shot is a result of my learning of how to take better photos. I want to improve my photo-taking abilities, so I bought a SLR camera and took some Elisha Snow classes.

Do you know about basic post-processing or computer touch-up ? This process work on your photos for polished, finished and amazing results. Did you know that amazing professional photographers post-process their printed photos? If you've decided to learn photo-finish and how to post-process your photos, take fun with the Elisha Snow's newest class at Big Picture !
