As we head into this holiday season, the first in a couple years that isn't going to be affected too much by the pandemic, the thing that I am most looking forward to is being together. Together with more than just my immediate family...I mean, I love my immediate family, but it's been a long couple years!! And while we have slowly started to gather in larger groups, I can't wait to hang out with my entire family again. This will be the first time in 2 1/2 long years that we will all be together again. And I can't wait!!!! Your photography challenge this month is to showcase a picture of being together. It doesn't just have to be with family, it can be with friends or coworkers, or fans...use your imagination!! Because this is a photography challenge this must be a new picture taken from December 1st on. Here is my layout about getting together with my parents and my daughter to watch my son play hockey. I can't wait to see you all enjoying someone's company!! Challenge Reminders: Your page must contain at least 75% Lilypad product. Post your layout here so I can love on it! Your page should also be posted to the Lilypad Gallery and then linked to the December Challenge Layouts thread so it can be tracked. The Lilypad uses a percent system for our challenges; the number of challenges you participate in determines the store discount you will receive at the end of the month: 2 challenges = 10% off 4 challenges = 20% off 6 challenges = 30% off If you complete 7 challenges, you will receive a coupon for 30% off, plus you will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate from the Lilypad. The first seven challenges will be posted on the first of the month; the eighth challenge is the BYOC challenge, which is posted on BYOC release day. Each page counts for one challenge (you cannot use one layout for multiple challenges).
Took this photo last night at the Christmas Ships Parade, my friend who has a floating house, invites us every year to see the parade and this year it was amazing. It was VERY cold on her deck, but we had front row seats and were able to go inside for a toasty warm up and good food. This was my favorite ship, it had such a cool reflection, they were all amazing! Photo: My twins, me & one of their boyfriends.
I used photos taken Friday and Saturday as we celebrated the wedding of the son of my friend Eileen. Four of us have been friends since 1965, only three of us were at the wedding. It was great to be together.
