Hi everyone!  Two more Freyday’s left in 2011 – and we’re getting ready to celebrate Christmas with the Freys!  Thought I would say hello with our Christmas card this year — photos I took with a tripod and our Christmas tree a few weeks ago as soon as we got it up!  I hope this time of rest and celebration of Jesus’ birth is a time of reflection and peace for you and your families!  I’ve been blessed so much this year with amazingly wonderful clients, a busy busy year of photographing in wonderful locations, my health (Eric’s getting there, haha!), Kayla dog, and our supportive family and friends!  Thank you all for following my blog, it’s always a surprise to hear that you read it…..and some of you are reading this from another country!  So, hello – Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah – and prayers to you for a safe and joyful holiday season!!   -Jessica

p.s. If you keep scrolling you’ll see my Pinterest/craft ‘fail’ fun!

I had a crafting night last week with a few ladies and decided I would try my hand at a Christmas felt tree and letters wrapped in yarn.  Um, who forgot to mention to me that crafting is hard?!1  The photos on Pinterest made it look Sooooooo easy, and turns out I’m not a natural.  If it weren’t for others in the room, I would have failed miserably, but 2 weeks later, I’m proud to show you my felt tree.  Well, one of them.  I had anticipated that I would create 4 while also wrapping the letters “JOY” and “NOEL”.  I got to the first part of “J” and said, um….nope. Not my thing! haha…so, here is the final (Yes, I’m giving up) display at my attempt to craft.  Two burnt fingers (booo to you hot glue gun) and lots of laughs = this:
