A Gift is Life's little Blessings



Every person has their own special gift. Once that ability is shared, we truly have created magic. Not all people discover how important they are. One selfless act, can make a difference to another. Whether our talents are social skills and volunteering our time, sewing, painting a portrait, or singing in a choir, life's little blessings are meaningful. Often, payment is expressed in the form of a priceless smile.

Three years ago, I uncovered an interest in graphic design that I did not realized was there. For me, creating backgrounds became a relaxing playtime, such as puzzles or computer games for someone else. What I believed was a simple pastime, took a friend to open my eyes to possibilities these designs could bring. 

 So far, mainly designing as Christmas gifts, the mugs took on life. Showing off her mug is my lovely, lady hairdresser, Lillian. Naturally gifted at her craft, she makes each client feel like her favorite customer. The 15 inch coffee mug turned into a fine tribute, and brought a happy tear.

Little things we do, can make a big impact. Talents are gifts that are meant to be shared. Have you discovered yours?

Author Nancy M. Rollins: Letter to Santa

Author Nancy M. Rollins: Letter to Santa: Young children tend to be very honest and say whatever is on their minds. There's no holding back for most of them, and that can be adorable or a nightmare, depending on the topic at hand. Santa is holding a letter written by a mischievous lad. The child has come forward and admitted many wrongs he had done. Will he still receive the items he wanted? Is he considered naughty or nice? Look for the answer inside the book.

With October days quickly dwindling down, it won't be long before children start thinking about Christmas and new toys. Many children write letters to Santa Claus or St. Nick, called by others. In my opinion, there are benefits in these yearly letters. The knowledge gained in the writing process can be educational, and the dream sparks that special excitement that comes only on Christmas Day.

Christmas at the Claus House ~ Saving Clara Deer comes in eBook and print. Purchase it online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Books a Million, Smashwords, CreateSpace, and other common sites.

Capturing Those Moments:


 
 
Time is precious, and certainly are the children in our lives. With the years passing so quickly, it is easy to miss how much one does change.
 
For some, Photography can become a hobby that could be fun to do. Although considering myself only on an amateur level, taking photos can open a whole new world for those who are willing to try.
 
Today, those great shots have never been easier. Many cell phones have built in cameras. Posing for a Selfie may give anyone a case of the giggles. Keep it or tap delete.
 
I use a camera with a zoom lens for those up close shots. It may take several tries, but with practice and determination, you may surprise yourself.
 
What I love about being behind a camera, photos can be on any category I choose. Whether it’s the grandchildren, wildlife, or a bowl of fruit, photos are a wonderful way to fill an album or decorate the walls.
 
Capturing those special moments with Photography, leads to memories we are unlikely to forget.
