December will be better...

Boy! It's been awhile. I can't even think of a satisfactory explanation as to why I have been absent from my blog for so long. The best I can come up with, is that I just lost my motivation. Good news though, IT'S BACK!! I'm determined to make this holiday a joyous one! Whether I like it or not!! 

So let's get to it:

For those just tuning in, I follow a blog at The Idea Room. Amy over there runs a photo challenge every month. Each day of the month she provides a prompt. The idea (no pun intended,) is to take a picture each day with the assigned prompt in mind, then post to Instagram to share your creativity. Here are my submissions since the beginning of this month.

Dec 1st. Warmth.

I decorated my bedroom window for the holiday. It's actually the only window in my home that faces out to the front of the house, so that was one reason, but the bonus is this AWESOME ambiance in my space. I LOVE it!! It just might stay all year!! 


Dec 2nd. Joyous.

Now, I know that it's the season to be joyous. I could have gotten right onto that bandwagon and posted something that was geared toward the holiday, but just LOOK at Ziggy with her bone. If that's not joyous (for her,) I don't know what is. She even stole our other dog's bone. 


Dec 3rd. Stripes.

I'll admit. I was SO NOT creative on this day. I literally just drew a picture and took a photo. 'Nuff said.


Dec 4th. White.

Yes! This is my artwork. I painted it at a fundraiser for an animal shelter in the next town east of mine. It was an event put on by Paint Nite. I usually attend the paintshop with a couple of friends of mine, but they both had other issues, so I attended this one on my own. I highly recommend the company and the events. An EXCELLENT outlet to express your creativity. Two friends sharing a Big WHITE Moon...

...and then I saw this tree and decided it had to be submitted under the "white" prompt too...

...but it could also be submitted under the next prompt...


Dec 5th. Tree.

...see what I mean?

I chose to submit this tree. The location is a nice little organic cafe next door to my grooming shop. Good News Gardening is also an AWESOME garden shop (duh.) The cafe is just an added bonus. They, obviously, just got their Christmas tree shipment in. 

Well, there you have it. I'll do my best to keep up this month. Have a blessed week and I'll catch you on the flip side!
