I love my dog (in case you haven’t noticed by the dozens and dozens of pictures I take of her. :P
She never fails to make me laugh with her funny antics and faces and her personality. I’m very blessed to have a dog and am VERY grateful for her. :) :)
(it’s the last day of the year… can you tell I’m a little sappy tonight? ;))
LAST. DAY. OF. THE. YEAR.
And the final pictures of my 365 challenge… I can’t believe it’s over! I enjoyed it, though. VERY much. :)
Most people look at a sunrise and go "ooh, pretty sunrise!" I look at a sunrise and go "ISO 400, shutter speed 250." The joys of being a photographer. ;)
one of my besties from church came over and we attempted to make cake pops… i got a cake pop baker for Christmas, but we didn’t read the directions, so we ended up not using the baker… :P Directions ARE IMPORTANT. despite what people say. haha
This was our goal… (we failed. epically.)
this looked and felt really really nasty…
we made a humongous mess all over the kitchen… but it was super fun. :)
the white chocolate and the food coloring had a chemical reaction and made the chocolate gloppy… so the red apples turned pink and looked horrendous. but they still tasted fine (despite the slightest burnt taste of the coating). :P
We made 57, but I couldn’t bring myself to take pictures of them all… hahaha. they’re pretty sad looking, but they did get a little better as we got going. Amber did the dipping (except for the pink apples… because they were so horrible that I just smeared them around) and I did the decorating.
We made monsters and mummies and spiders and sprinkle-covered ones and strange clown-looking things. And a narwhale. :)
Moral of the story: who cares what they look like as long as they taste amazing. :)
I love fall more than winter, but winter is still good. the warm cozy fire and the clear blue skies are to die for. I think I’ve watched more tv and read more books in front of the fire than i have in a long time. It’s been nice to sit back and really enjoy this Christmas break… I kinda hate to go back to school after this has been so amazing, but hey, it’s my last semester of high school, and I plan on enjoying it to the FULL. :)
I’m not going to repeat my 365 photo challenge again this year… once was enough. ;) I will still be taking pictures all the time, no worries about that.
I will be doing weekly challenges to give me a bit more ideas for my photography. And of course, I will still be posting client pictures. :)
Here are the challenges so far that I’ve decided to do:
Mondays:
Tuesdays:
Wednesdays:
Thursdays:
Sundays:
^While doing this… 
^I saw this… SO ADORABLE.
I usually hate blow-up Christmas decor, but this one wins the cutest thing ever award for the day. ;)
Day 358:
Day 359:
I love the smell of this thing… oh heavens, it’s like Christmas in a bag!! :D
Munching on my Christmas skittles while watching 6 hours of Pride and Prejudice… a wonderful afternoon. ;)
MERRY CHRISTMAS. :D
We celebrated Christmas with my Dad’s side of the family today… :D I love Christmas time. I just love it all. The food, the people, the time spent together… it’s fantastical. :)
Can you find the bird in this picture?? ;)
