"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
~Aaron Siskind

Kristen at Something about nothin has introduced me to and included me in a fun game:

You get a letter and list 10 things that start with that letter. She had to do Z, eep! She, however, gave me S. What a great letter! Thanks Kristen!

So since it's Christmastime she's changed the game into a Christmas game. That means I have to list 10 Christmasy things that start with the letter S. No problem! I can think of 10+ right off the top of my head. So to make it a little more challenging I'm going to use 10 pictures from my own photo album that I haven't used on here already.

Now in a game of Scattergories some of these would probably be contested, and I wouldn't win, but considering I wanted to use all photos that I've taken and not take any from the internet I took a little creative license. (sadly I'm fresh out of photos of sleighs, and I already used my stocking picture in a previous post.) So here goes:

Santa

Snow

Shopping

Storytime

Stacks of presents

Skiing

Sweets

Sugar cookies

Snowman

Seven-swans-a-swimming

ok fine, you can only see three in this picture, and they're actually more like pink flamingos, but paddle boats are USUALLY swans, so I say it counts. :)

No? Fine...one more then...

Shipping

That was really fun! Thanks again Kristen!

If you'd like to play, just ask me for a letter. You can adapt the game however you wish, and since Christmas is almost here you don't even have to do the Christmas part if you don't want. :D

Bookworm award

My friend Miss Linda of Threads of Loveliness nominated me for a bookworm award.

The rules of this award are:
-pass this on to 5 friends

-Open the closest book to you, not your favorite or most intellectual book, but the book closest to you at the moment, to page 56.
Write out the 5th sentence, as well as two to five sentences following that...

The book that is closest to me is The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger and the 5th sentence on pg 56 is:

"'You knew, you knew that was going to happen and you didn't say a word. Where is your sense of self preservation? What the hell is wrong with you? What use is it knowing the future if you can't at least protect us from humiliating little scenes-'"

And my 5 blog friends that I would like to pass this on to are:
1. (the new) Dr. K at Perpetual Entropy

2. Sue from Quilt, Sew, Sew Sue

3. Becky from Sew and So

4. Regina from The Queen Bee's Buzz

5.Caity from Caityquilter

Thanks Miss Linda!
