Monday.......

The angel figure is holding a glowing star and as you can see it creates a nice glow on the face.

Soft.........

It is a small bear on my wife's teddy bear tree.  I shot a lot of photos of the stuffed animals on the tree but this one just expresses soft. The magic of stuffed animals comes from being able to make a toy that exhibits an emotion that is comforting.  Adding a color coordinating bow and who could resist buying it.

Soon to be shipped.......

My wife and I send gifts to three sweet boys who live in Virginia.  We always ship them after Christmas and usually we send books.  The oldest is 5 years old, next is 3, and the youngest is one year old.  As they get older they are collecting a lot of books so we sent a soft thing for the youngest guy. I watched their daddy grow up and it is neat that he has these really great little boys.

Coffee beans on the mug.

I received three new flavored coffees from my wife at Christmas time and I am just now starting to use them.  Today I received an appreciation gift from a set of special education teachers and with it was a new travel mug and a bag of carmel apple coffee.  It is a good life.

Can you dig the mismatched mug with the dainty English made saucer?  It was handy and I didn't want to put coffee rings on the tablecloth.

Thursday's Shot......

Just another view into the overloaded tree.  It is fun to collect this kind of ornament but I have stopped looking for them.  Overload seems to be the word on this one. If I were to collect more I would have to move to the next size of tree.

Reflective Colors.......

I was experimenting with low lighting on the tree and caught this ornament with many reflective planes.  You can identify all the different colors of light that I have on the tree by all the little spots of color.

Have a great day!

Happy New Year to one and all.
