Friday's Joys

Let's start off with sweet baby Wrigley!
Isn't he adorable?
This picture was taken by my amazing friend Dani.

We're to the END of finals! Wahoo! 

I'm beginning to feel exhausted and wanting to start celebrating Christmas.

The photos from this week were from last minute photo shoots for my final art project.

I'm really happy how they turned out. They look even better in print.

Tip: When taking Christmas tree pictures, make sure to open 

your ISO to about 1600 or as far as it can open.

It will turn out a bit grainy but it makes the picture look like an illustration out of a book.

Last year, I did this little service project. I'm still continuing it but in a simpler way.

More to come on Monday.

Still the question remains in my thoughts,

"What shall I give to the babe in the manger?"

This week around the web:

A new magazine about Seeing the Everyday.

I'm going to eventually subscribe to this. 

A wonderful blog I happened to stumble upon.

I love the simple easy designs and felt inspired.

Definitely adding My Life as a Sugar Lander to my Google Reader!

A sweet post on Motherhood.

Now that it's the end of finals,

I'm heading here for some celebratory treats.

My professor and I were talking the other day about Christmas Cameras.

We agreed that this, this, and this would be lovely to find under the tree.

48 hour sale on sweaters and jackets at Anthro. 

Yes, please!

My mother's favorite version of The First Noel.

You can get a glimpse of my dad singing in the choir.

Hope you have a wonderful December weekend!

What are some of your plans?

Me? I'm getting together with some friends for a gift exchange later tonight

and a neighborhood Christmas party. I hope to bring this along. It looks so good.

Merry Christmas!
And just one more sweet picture of Wrigley.

A special thank you to Dani Jensen Photography.
