Picture the Holidays {The View From Here}
Today’s Picture the Holidays Photo Prompt was “The View From Here”. I think the prompt was meant to be nature related.. as in the view from our window or the view outside, but tonight, there is no view that would make my heart more full than the site of all four of my kids decorating…

I’m through month two of Project 365, and I have to say it has been one of the favorite hobby/projects I have ever done! If you haven’t done it before, I strongly encourage you to pick up your camera and start taking a picture a day! Here is what I did in February:
Good Looking PB&J
I wanted to let you know that the newest roundup for Through My Lens is up over at Culinary Snapshot. The theme this time was to pretend like you were hired by a magazine to shoot a Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich…how would you interpret that assignment? I hope you will head over and check…
