It’s become somewhat of a tradition to put together a calendar of family photos and give a copy to my son, daughter and ex-mother-in-law as a gift for Christmas.
So, most of today has been taken up by sorting family photos (and getting distracted) from 2014, to fill pages of our calender for 2015. I have so many photos and my grandchildren photograph so well, it’s difficult to choose just one or two…or sometimes three for each page.
Our family calender is private and only for us but now I’ve got the hang of it, and as Lulu makes it so easy, I’ve put together another one ‘Flowers for Chris’. My brother Chris gave me a gorgeous bunch of flowers which I photographed – hence the name. It’s available now for anyone to buy. Next project is a calendar of poems…
I did, however, do my usual and order some photo mugs from VistaPrint because they had a special offer of 4 x $20 which is very cheap and as I responded today, there was also a ‘no postage’ deal. As I finished the order I was then offered another free mug if I bought it within 10 minutes, so I ordered that as well! The result was 5 x 5 photo wrapped mugs for $20 landed in Oz . Score!
A Rose
Made of perfect petals,
Each one molded softly.
From a bud exquisite,
It blooms to velvet beauty.
Softly colored from peace white,
To reds, apricots and golds…
Only a few of the many shades
Found in the lovely folds
Of one, more than just an earthly flower
But surely a gift from heavenly bowers.
A gift of love, of peace that grows
Within the depths of beauty ~ a rose.
