Getting Ready for Christmas & 805 living…

Kym 805 Living 080

I love Thanksgiving and the

stuffing is my favorite part of the whole

lovely meal!  Being pregnant, I am

already craving it! I am going to make extra, extra!

Each year I make the turkey, stuffing,

carrot salad, green beans, pumpkin soup and

much more… I will take lots of pictures, yummy!

Did you see one of my Thanksgiving tablescapes here?

Christmas is my favorite now! Especially, now that Dustin is

2 and half he is really beginning to understand Christmas!

I love this 

vintage German grain sack Christmas tree from A Beautiful Mess.

Kimberly Fraser and I  styled and photographed this image

for 805 Living Christmas Edition.

Although I have done work for this magazine before,

this is my favorite image!

Email Kymberly if you would like one, they are going fast!

This image has really got me in the Christmas mood, and

I have begun my own decorating!

Each year they do a local Christmas tree lighting ceremony,

and it’s tonight! But, only in hopes that it does not rain. They

go all out for it and I hope it happens tonight so Dustin

can see it and I can take some pictures. It’s

pretty cold out and I love it!

Be a back soon!

Always,

Signature

  10. Hi Lulu~
    You are making me drool for Tgiving - my fave meal of the year! I kind of like the taste of the stuffing, turkey, tatoes, berries and gravy all mixed together. ;) I usually hardly eat meat, but don't pass up classic Thanksgiving fare. Your photo is great!!!! You have got the 3 photo elements theory down pat!! Can 'ya tell I'm doing some Photography for Dummies type book reading? ;))) I am seriously going to wrap my gifts just like in your photo. Great weekend wishes~

  34. I really love hearing everyone's menus for Thanksgiving - such variety and yet similar favs. My daughter in law Ravy is Cambodian and making some of her traditional dishes along with our favorites - she loves sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes... Thanksgiving in Annapolis, MD at their house...blessings to you, Jennifer jennsthreegraces
