❅ bonhomme de neige ❅ by pixelmama Via Flickr: Thanks to everyone for the Flickr ♥ love ♥ yesterday on my sister's post. It really means a lot to me. I realize it was a sad post; so I thought that a happy post was in order for today. Plankton is a little upset to be usurped by a snowman on his favorite day of the week; but I told him to "just get over it!" This was my Christmas present from Jackie. She secretly crocheted this for me … and I was all giddy when I calmly savagely ripped open the package on Christmas morning!! I collect snowmen so this one is extra special. I thought I'd let you know that she also took this photo. I loved it when I walked in from work today and saw her 'studio set-up!' Not only is she a talented amigurumi artist, but she takes pretty darn good photos too!! I gave her my old 'nifty fifty' when I bought the newer version for my camera. At that time; I also instructed her on shallow depth of field. I think she successfully completed that chapter of instruction! I'll be catching up to folks tonight & tomorrow ... after all, this is my 'FRIDAY'!! Happy Toy-in-the-frame Thursday!!! ~ Check out her Amigurumi Gallery here!!

364/365: Happy Fence Friday {★ New Years Eve Chicago ★} Edition! by pixelmama Via Flickr: Project 365 Thursday • December 30, 2010 We went into Chicago to ice skate but the line was so long, we decided to walk about the streets. When we passed the lit up tree in the Daley Plaza I couldn't resist the beautiful lights and the people strolling past. There really is a fence lining the walk here!! And this is the last fence of 2010!! ★ Happy Fence Friday ~ ★`•.¸★Happy New Years Eve`•.¸¸.★
