    I love all of the wonderful little details - Frosty's hat and the bottle brush tree in the pink and white cup.
    Your photographs look great - Cameron and Mallory look so nice.
    Merry Christmas

    I remember when I got my new camera, Lou Cinda! What a difference in the pictures from my point and shoot. Yours are looking good; as you play with the different settings and all you'll find you don't know how you got along without it! Cameron and Mallory look great ~ they make a beautiful couple.

    I officially got through with my shopping at about 12:45 this afternoon. I think the photos are very good. I need a new camera myself and would love to know what you got and any pointers you might have. Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

    I think your pictures are great! I have put off getting a new camera simply for the fact that I HATE manuals! I haven't even read the one on the camera I'm using now and there are a lot of things I could be doing differently!

    I love your Santa collection! You have so many cool ones. I like the red Adirondack chair, too!!

    Merry Christmas, Lou Cinda!

    One of my New Year's plans is to learn more about my camera. And it's NOT new! LOL! Very frustrating when all your want to do is be creative not read a manual. I'm like you, still SOOO much to do before this weekend. I'm getting there but still a lot to do.
    Wishing you and your family a very blessed Christmas!

    The little peeks make me smile out loud...especially the one of your handsome son!
    As good as these photos are, when you get that manual down...you're gonna be hard to top.

    P.S. I am so stealing the peanut hull line...bet on it!

    So much fun getting a new camera - not so fun learning how to use it. I've had mine for 2 years and still don't know why I can't take a good pic. What a gorgeous couple in that last pic! Ya know, my oldest's name is Mallory! Merry Christmas!

    Lou Cinda I love your Christmas touches!

    The new camera thingy is so much fun. I got mine last Christmas and I've read and read. Trouble is if I don't do something soon after reading it, I forget it!

    Well, Craig was searching Craigs List and found a DVD that went along with my camera! Who knew they made these? Not me or I would have had one long ago! He got the DVD for $5. The woman said it came with a camera bag she bought but didn't go with her camera. She said she bought a DVD that goes with her camera for $29.95. The DVD title says Nikon School on it.

    I can't wait to watch it. Don't know what kinda of camera you have, but I would be searching for a DVD. I always learn better if someone is telling me something rather than reading it!

    Good luck with the camera, don't be to afraid. Doesn't matter if you mess up with digital cameras you can just erase your mess! Have fun!

    Merry Christmas!

    Lou Cinda,
    Adore all your Christmas photos! If you haven't read the manual and you're already getting quality photos...all I can say is...they can only get better. Go ahead and laugh. I'm a manual reader! Yes, ma'am! Everytime we get a new appliance...I read the manual! EnJOY your new camera! I believe the phrase,"Practice makes perfect"! is a great one to live by! Merry Christmas!
    Fondly,
    Pat

    Well look at you go with your new camera and your photography skills. I must admit that I see more vivid color and details with the new camera. Must be all those mega pixels and such! You just have a gift for all the small details in your decorating. Love all your vestive decor for Christmas. I noted that you saved your best work for the last photo ....Mal and Cameron look so cute!
    Happy Photo Shooting!

    Your camera's photos look awesome!
    I am hoping Santa will bring me a camera this year. Mine is starting to die and when you turn it on, the shutter only opens halfway...have to use my fingers to pry it open the rest of the way!

    YOUR HOUSE LOOKS AMAZING.
    Love your style and all your sweet collections.

    Merry Merry Christmas!

    Hi Lou Cinda, I think your photography with your new camera is amazing. I got a new camera for my birthday this past October and just got a new lens for a Christmas gift. Boy oh boy it sure is a learning experience but I have been so into photography over the last 10 years I really needed a better camera. I would love to take a class... what kind of camera did you receive?
    Hugz,

    Hope you had a good Christmas and that your New Year will be especially happy, my friend.

    Your photos already look great, Lou Cinda! What kind of a camera did you get? I got the "go ahead" from hubby to get a new one, now I just have to figure out what kind. New Year's blessings my dear!

    I think they look great! I got my camera back in October and I still haven't figured the darn thing out.....It scares the poop outta me...Isn't that silly? The booklet with it is like 3000 pages long and I don't want to read it *winks*...which I'm sure is obvious in the quality of my pictures! Lol! However I do have "potential"
    So yeah I wanna know too what kind of camera did you get? And do you love it? Give us a post one it girlfriend! *winks* Vanna
