Yikes!

Well, here we are at the end of 2012! Only a few more hours left. I have 50 more photos for you! Which will bring my count to 293. When I'm finished this post I'm going to go through my Hipstamatic prints on my phone and choose 7 of my favorites to at least bring the number to an even 300! Then tomorrow I will start the new 365 Challenge! It's going to be awesome. I'm going to do one blog post per week with my weeks worth of photos in it. Each photo will have a topic which will also double as the title of the photograph. Seeing how the 1st is on a Tuesday I will try and get my blog posts done every Tuesday. I'll make this my New Years Resolution! :)

Alright, sorry to bombard you with photos but here goes! The following are a mix of texture photography, flowers, winter, trees, etc. Enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! I wish you all the best in 2013! Namaste.

Final Countdown...

Well, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to fulfil my 365 Challenge before the end of the year...which happens to be tomorrow. LOL! I have 20 more pictures for now and one more session to edit...so it might still work out. Fingers crossed. :) I'm not going to lie, I'm panicking a little here. December snuck up on me and not it's almost over. To be fair, our daughter had surgery at the beginning of the month and we've been busy with her recovery and then Christmas. Excuses? Maybe, but legit ones...right? This seems like such a big deal but is it really? You'll forgive me if I don't get 365 pictures into my blog this year! I know you will...just wait until I start my new challenge in 2013! It's going to be awesome. :) Okay, I have to get to some editing!!

The following pictures are from my trip to Vegas in October and shots from this Christmas.

Coming to an End...

2012 is almost over! I'm so behind on my blog posts and keeping up with my 365 Challenge. I've been taking lots of pictures but just haven't had a chance to post them. I'm also behind on my editing which seems to be a never ending story in my life. I wouldn't trade any of it for the world though. Here's the deal, I have 155 more pictures to post so I can start my NEW 365 Challenge come January 1st. I have 2 days and a bit to do it. LOL! Wishful thinking?? We will see. I'm determined!! So I'm going to apologize in advance for bombarding you with blog posts over the next few days...BUT the new challenge is super exciting and I'm really looking forward to it. :)

The pictures in this post are random shots that I've taken over the past few months. Some are from Halloowen, some from the fashion show I shot, a couple from the Santa Claus Parade and some from my trip to Vegas. The Vegas shots were done with my Canon Elph. I'll be posting more Vegas pictures in the next few days but I have to edit them first as they were shot with my DSLR and are still in RAW format. Enjoy!
