The part of this shot that I like is the afro of stars that my soon-to-be brother in law has inherited courtesy of the camera angle and the Lensbaby aperture I was using at the family gift opening.
My cousin-in-law, backdropped by a Christmas tree. This sort of setup is the Lensbaby's playground.
Another one from the backlog, and another "demonstration shot" taken with the Lensbaby. I realize that the Christmas season has been and gone, but I rather like how this shot turned out.
Which is saying a bit, actually, given that when I first looked at the RAW file...
Actual snow, it was too cold to go outside to take photos!

Winsome good
These are the first LED colored lights I have ever owned. Entire the colors are nice and bright. My only problem with them is the space between each light. On a 6-7 foot tree you would requisite at least 3 strands for pretty good coverage. I had the similar white lights that were closer together so that combined with two stands of the colored LEDs worked easy on the eyes well this year on our noble fir Christmas tree.

Gratifyingly llights, but starting to fail after a week.
These are peerless looking lights with bright and deep colors, however one strand failed after a few days and now a second strand is starting to go on the fritz.

Fair
I bought 6 of these, and between them I only had 1 strand that had a one dead LED. They are bright with beautiful color saturation, and each strand is about 25'. I found 5 strands on a 6 1/2 foot tree was about true.

Solar lights!
I got these solar lights.
They are not bad. I conscious my electric bill barely flinched this past Christmas Season as opposed to others & I still had good lighting.
LED lighting uses not practically as much electricity as regular conventional lights.
I recommend this product to anyone.

Fastidious, cool running lights
It is hair-splitting to have lights that don't generate so much heat. They are nice and cool, yet bright shining. Low energy draw means disgrace electric bills for the Christmas Season.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate the season and yet not impact the environment so much.
The bulbs don't scale off their coloring like conventional bulbs do so no worry about having to relace them because of loss of color.
I rely on to switch all of my Christmas lights over to LED in the next couple of years.

How to hang indoor Christmas lights around a window?
Nov 21, 2007 by ♥ тнє σяιgιиαℓ gιяℓfяι∂αу ♥ | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I would like to be coherent break the connection indoor Christmas lights around a window from the inside. I did this last year, but used tape to hang them and the cold made the tape come off. I do not indigence to use nails as the window frames are very hard (like concrete) and nails would ruin the window dock/finish. I'd hang lights outside, but that would require opening a basement window and leaving it part way make known in order to run the cord to an outlet (no exterior outlets at my house) Any suggestions?

You can get suction cups with hooks on them. The suction cups go unswervingly onto the window glass and then you string your lights along the hooks, or hang whatever other decorations you like.
After Christmas, when you take the lights down, there will be suction cup marks on the windows (peculiarly if it gets cold where you are), but all you have to do is clean the glass, and they'll be fine.
Generally you can buy the suction cups in the same stores where you buy the lights. Attractive thorough luck and hope that helps!

What makes indoor christmas lights different from outdoor christmas lights?
Nov 17, 2008 by ☆ iSparkle ☆ | Posted in Christmas
Are the open-air ones water-resistant or something so they're not going to be affecting by snow?
I'm asking this cuz i've got some extra indoor lights and I was wondering if I could use them to embroider the exterior of my house..
it wouldn't be the end of the humanity if you used indoor lights outdoor. Just as long as you take some precautions. Use it on the porch or something. Make sure it's not gong to get all the elements on it at all times. and mercy them off when you go to bed, or leave for hours at a time.

Scotch makes some very acute removable, adhesive hooks. The tape is easily removed and the hook is reusable for next year. Keep in take offence at you have to clean the surface and give it 24 hours before you hang anything. They have different sizes and weight limits, so elect accordingly.
From my experience, they are work 98% of the time and I think the other 2% is user error =)
