the light fantastic

It's a Small World this holiday at Disneyland

When the days are short and the nights are long, lights play a big role in keeping our spirits bright. Whether it be candle light, twinkle lights, or the blaze of a crackling fire, capturing the glow of the season isn’t always easy and takes some trial and error but from what I have been seeing in our flickr pool, it’s well worth the effort. I am delighted with visions from amp’ed, ArtfromM, Nikki P, the clikchick and andie.

How do you light things up? Illuminate us with the pride and joy of your collection from the season.

And speaking of collections, our giveaway today is a gem from the collection of Her Southern Charm. The Click necklace is very special perfect for us Shutter Sisters. The word on the sliver circle says “click” and has a little camera charm with it. How cute is that? Thank you Jennifer.

Congratulations to Shelli, Mama of Letters for winning both Stephanie’s book and the Snaptotes Bucket bag.

I used to do up Christmas with a gazillion candles but now I have three rambunctious boys under six so that is right out! lol. Now all my holiday light is electric. I STILL don't have any post-decorating pictures yet, but here is mid-decorating... if you can call it that when you let toddlers do all the work!

lights galore! Actually, I try to take a minimalist approach to Christmas lights - too much energy used up. However, the ones we do put up look so lovely - especially from outside our home!!

[Camille]

Wow, I feel like we're all piled in the van looking at Christmas lights, whatta show!!
Glad I clicked.
Here's hoping for another 'click'!

I love this season - the darkness of the winter solstice, warmed by the holiday lights. We celebrate Chanukah in our house, and there is nothing more beautiful than lighting the candles after the sun has set. From tonight, the third night:

We downsized to a small apartment earlier this year... so no lights for us. Love your site. I could show you tons of our snowstorm in the Portland area though :-)

Dag nabbit, I'm going to win something.
I light things up with an afternoon nap in front of my wood fireplace and coincidentally, I'm listening to Cara Luft's The Light Fantastic, good folksy tunes for long winter days.

[Stacey]

Love the lights! I haven't thought of It's a small world in years!

[Ann]

I just shot some lights in my house so far, nothing around the neighborhood. I'm hoping we'll do that tomorrow night after dinner.

[Betsy]

Ahhh, light. Light is so fabulous. Thank goodness for it.

Forget lights, my sweet "santa baby" lights up my world.

I had got a desire to make my own company, but I did not have got enough amount of money to do that. Thank heaven my close mate said to use the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/business-loans">business loans</a>. Thence I used the short term loan and made real my old dream.
