Paige
Posted by Magda (Vancouver, Canada) on 12 December 2008 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
A magician was making "piggy balloon" for Paige - she was watching very closely making sure that it's done just right! (grin)
(I am very sorry for not being around lately! I do miss all of my friends at Aminus3 and your wonderful photoblogs! I promise that as soon as I find some sanity in my house I will be going back to all those days I've missed. I do appreciate your support and regular visits very much and I thank you for that!) See you soon!

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.
