Hi friends and happy Saturday. So glad it’s the weekend and look forward to a day with no agenda (well actually tons of errands) but still I am on my own time and that is more cherished than ever before! Have dinner plans then off for a little pre birthday excursion with a few friends.

Hard to believe it’s that time of year again but its the holidays! And that means, among many other things…..the Holiday Love contest is  announced! I so love seeing how my super talented customers welcome and enjoy the holidays, whether its your table settings, your Christmas tree, your kids all decked out, pets too, your yard covered in that first snow….whatever the holidays might mean to you.

As I always stress, clarity, lighting and size are really really important. It is usually best to take your picture during natural daylight. I always include some favorites (but there are many more) from years past, as there are so many that are a prime example of what makes a “good picture”. Please use these pictures below as as gauge as to what a good picture should look like, straight, bright, crisp and defined colors, quality counts and most phone cameras do the trick:)

So start thinking about your submissions and we cannot wait to see your pictures! Here are a few great examples from years past-

Such beauty! These could easily make a beautiful Christmas decorating book if you ask me. OK,  it’s your turn to show us your award winning photo(s)! Cannot wait to start getting them! Please email all photos to [email protected] and don’t forget to put “contest” on subject line. If we cannot accept your picture, we will notify you via email.

The prize-

One lucky winner will win THREE months of Enchanted Home goodies
