A message from Dimitrios. ... Get Ready Christmas is coming
A PHOTO WISH TO AM3 FRIENDS(3 days, December 23-24-25))
Well, dear am3friends, it will be Christmas time soon and a photo wish is a best way to say thank you to this great photo community we all belong to.
So start thinking of ideas, photo ideas that will pass on your message for the holidays and the new year to the world.
Please post your photos on December 23, 24 and on Christmas day.
Tell your friends about it and, if you like, post this on your Blog for a few days so the message travels the globe.
Take care, I shall be there, it’s a promise. Kind regards, Dimitrios

@Dimitrios: Thank you Dimitrios! I've been so busy lately that I don't have much time to fuss with my photos so I am glad you like this one which I put very quickly to give my girls some recognition for their involvement in the Holiday Season. :)

Magda, another beautiful collage! I love how you soften half of the main background picture and added the pics of your little helpers. Wonderful captures all around! I wished I had some cookies too :) I have not even had the chance to decorate for the holidays yet or make my shopping list for the cookie ingredients. I better get to it before the season passes me by :)

My daughter (a single mom) and my grand-daughter made oodles of Christmas cookies every year from the time my grand-daughter was a tiny thing. This is the first year they are not together to continue the ritual. The young lady just turned 21 and is away from home. Cookie making is a magic time for mom's and daughters.
This is a beautiful collage Magda.

@Bill: Thank you Bill! Yes, those are the memories we treasure the most. That's what I remember from my childhood.... :) I can only hope that my girls will look back one day and remember those days as I remember the days when I was a little girl helping my mom in the kitchen during the holidays....
I am sure that your granddaughter will be making cookies with her children one day! :) How better to keep those memories fresh. :)
Denise from Perry, United States

@Denise: Thank you Denise! I use Corel to make the collages. I just learned how to do them a couple of months ago..... What program do you use? I have Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 also but don't know how to use them to create those. I searched on the Internet on how to do it.... ;)
