Every day I take a photo using the prompts from Fat Mum Slim‘s creative brain.  I am looking forward to having a whole year of them in 2013.  I started doing it late this year, but it is a great daily creative challenge.

Day 1. 8 o clock. Opening the advent calendar.

Day 2. Peace

Day 3. Something you held. Found these gorgeous antique postcards at the weekend. I love to look through them, they are all Italian, British and other European sights. Mainly cathedrals.

Day 4. Black and white

Day 5. Looking up

Day 6. From where you live. I walk through these woods nearly every day from where I live.

Day 7. Stars. Trader Joes cookies!

Day 8. Someone you love. My boys in a plane, at the Historic Aircraft Restoration Museum at Creve Coeur Airport, St Louis.

Day 9. Out and about. I spotted this rain drenched thistle on the way home from the dreaded Walmart!

Day 10. Under.  I walked under this decorated but bare tree.

Day 11. Sweet. Candy cane cocktails

Day 12. Hat.

Day 13. Lights.

Day 14. Something green.

Day 15. Outdoors

Day 16. Something you made.  Nearly made!

Day 17. On the floor.  Mammogram time, lovely pink ‘robe’.

Day 18. Something that makes you merry. Finding this little soldier in the woods on the way to school made my day!  He has clearly been through the mulcher, but is still looking on the bright side!

Day 19. Something beginning with S.  Bodhi needed a Christmas stocking, so I made him one.

Day 20. Weather.

Day 21. Tree.  Messing about with a new ‘Bokeh’ app on the phone!

Day 22. Decoration.  I saw this wonderful lady in an antique shop, she is a bell and I wanted to take her home.  I resisted her and snapped a picture instead.

Day 23. Joy is… a home made mince pie and a coffee.

Day 24. Tradition.  Every Christmas Eve we sprinkle ‘Reindeer Dust’ so that Rudolph and his gang know where to come!  Reindeer dust is oats and glitter, in case you want to make some!

Day 25. Lunch.  Pulling crackers, pulling silly faces and telling jokes!

Day 26. Mess.

Day 27. How you relax.

Day 28. Cold.

Day 29. Hot.

Day 30 Something that made you smile this year. Sledging in minimal snow!

Day 31. Self portrait.  A little more snow for making a massive snow ball!
