Ringing Up Holiday Wishes

It's Christmas Eve. I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a memorable Christmas filled with love and laughter and an exciting New Year full of happy surprises.

I am very grateful for all the support and encouragement you have shown me. I am just a silly housewife with a compact camera! Thank you so, so much.

The tiny silver bell charm in the photo is about the size of my (real!) thumbnail. It's another one of those little things I have collected because I fell in love with it at first sight. I fall in love too easily, I think.
Merry Christmas to you. You are a very TALENTED housewife, nothing silly about it! :)

Livia, I have enjoyed looking at your photos so much. You do own a lot of pretty things and that I do envy!! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
December 24th, 2011  
LOL! That's okay, Livia! You just go on being who you are and fall in love with everything your sweet heart desires! Lovely shot of your charm! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Let's hope this coming year will be healthy, joyful and prosperous for everyone!

Another little lovely charm . . beautifully photography by Livia! You are celebrating Christmas Eve now? Hmmm . . then you must live somewhere across the ocean. You have traveled to many countries like I have Livia. We have the "love" of new place in common. I am a "silly housewife" too (but, your're an artist). We both have compact cameras, and we love autofocus. I'm happy that we crossed paths on 365 . .

Merry Christmas to you too. I love the way you've photographed this. You are more than a silly housewife with a compact camera, you create beauty and collect many precious items dear to you which shows your heart and caring side as you look after these treasures. You always have lovely thoughtful comments and feedback, and that's just what I've found out online in a few short weeks.

Lovely!
December 24th, 2011  
Merry Christmas, Livia! The use of limited depth of field and sharp focus on the bells make this and you a winner! There is nothing wrong with point and shoot cameras or their users, keep on with your 365 project, your admirers here are sincere!
December 24th, 2011  
This is just gorgeous! Love the background! I'm faving it to remind me to be more creative with my backgrounds! You know, I don't think my Nikon takes and better pics than my old Samsung P&S, it just gives me more options is all, but pic quality-wise, they're the same! Merry Christmas to you and your very handsome boys!

These bells remind me ...I had a little silver slipper one of a pair of silver earings that belonged to my mom ,i wore it for years on a bangle as a reminder of her..Sadlly i lost it a little while back,wishing you and your loved one's a blessed Christmas and a great end of year

Very nice shot, Livia! Great focus and clarity on such a tiny little charm. There's nothing silly about being a housewife, it's a hard and underappreciated vocation - not many of us do it well (I certainly don't!), so enjoy and be proud of who you are and what you do.

Hope you've had a very merry Christmas!
