@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 :)

I still have so much to do before Christmas! You are not alone.... ;)

Yum! Do you take orders?! You are building wonderful holiday memories with your girls.

@willow: LOL We are having a lot of fun, that's for sure!

Bill from Belton, United States

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

Very nice picture MAgda, I'd love to know how you get those shots all on one page. We made cookied this weekend and I posted them for tomorrow. They are not so colorful though. I'm sure yur girls had alot of fun!

@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.... ;)
