5th Video of Christmas

Remember the “reflections” photo challenge from last month?

Music is Linnuton puu by Anna Puu, a Finnish singer. (Hello to my devoted readers in Finland, including my cute parents!)

For the transcript, click HERE for the PDF.

……………………

A heartfelt thank-you to all who submitted pictures and especially those of you whose pictures are featured in the video.

It was so hard to narrow down to my usual Top 10 favorites. So I put a whole bunch of awesome submissions together with music instead. I did force myself to choose just one winner because someone needs to win a Project Life kit! Congratulations to … Cali in Provo, Utah. I just love the way this shot speaks volumes about her role as a mother. I love the composition … and the fact you can tell it was taken in her car mirror … and her sweet babe content in the car seat … with her little bow and binky. And I love that she put herself in the picture. The end.

    Oh my no wonder you could not limit to 10 I was so inspired and moved by so many just a few were the zebra and kids faces in the mirror, the biker and his handle bars (great composition), maybe it was the cute baby and the bathtub button, or the bubble (amazing in it’s own right, speaking of amazing how about the grass and water droplet, the runners on the lake, the married couple in the glasses oh my! Thank you for sharing so many inspiring photos I will be playing with my camera this weekend for sure!

    I just want to Thank Becky and all of those who took the beautiful pictures!! I sat here and actually cried while I watched them. It is just inspiring to see that there is so much good out there. People that love each other and their families. You see so much garbage on TV about the world today and it is just uplifting to see the good side of people. Thank you for sharing!!

  32. Kelly says:

    such a beautiful video of pics Love the wedding photo in the glasses and LOVE the winner’s photo. Not sure why I teared up watching it… either the music (in a foreign language) or the touching photos…. so very sweet!

  33. Nicolle says:

    Seriously AWESOME!!!

  34. Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED that video. Wow. It kinda made me cry a bit. I realized too that yesterday we went to the Smoky Mtns. for a daytrip and there was this cute little toy store with a mirror on the door and I told my daughter to stand in front of me and I took a pic of us in the mirror and it came out great! My Mom said, “How did you think to do that???” and I said, “Other scrapbookers.” Keep these challenges coming. I love it that it helps me capture my life in new ways.

  35. Kim says:

    These photos really make me want to take more pictures than I’ve been taking. And take a photography class. And get a DSL camera. Ok, I think my wants stop there. ;-)

  36. Linda says:

    Oh, what a lovely collage of photos, they were full of life, love and beauty and that music just made tears running down my cheeks, so beautiful and I so miss home (Finland) when listening to that! I might have to buy that album for me next week when we travel to Finland for Christmas (lucky me!!!).

    Thanks for the inspiration you share here in your beautiful blog.

  37. Lindsey says:
