Phew! The hustle of this holiday season has already kicked up ten notches! {Am I alone here?!} But I'm loving it because what is keeping me so busy is all of the fun crafts I have been working on now that I've been inspired by so many fellow bloggers.  If you haven't already heard...The 12 Crafty Days of Christmas series has already begun here at Happily Mother After.  If you've missed any of the crafts, you're missing out BIG TIME so go check out what you've missed {over here} and come back daily for new inspiration.


But I digress.


Over the last two weeks, you guys submitted some beautiful photos.  Since we combined two weeks into one link party, I decided to give out two awards in each category.


You guys picked these two gorgeous photos as your favorites:

Photography by Vanessa at Daily Delivered

Vanessa is a good friend of mine who is fairly new to blogging. Please go check out her blog and show her some love!

Photography by Sarah at Buckeroo Mama

But the award really belongs to her model, little Miss Zoe. :) Isn't she beautiful?!

Vanessa and Sarah {and Zoe}, this award is for you guys. :)

I picked these two {okay, really three} stunning photos as my favorites:

And I think these two photos deserve a special mention as well: 

Photography by Marcy at Don't Be Too Timid and Squeamish
This photo deserves a feature because this required some major editing skills. You have to check out her blog to see how she did it.

Photography by LeAnne at Photos By LeAnne
Can you believe this squirrel was just hanging around, as if waiting to be photographed?!

Marcy and LeAnne, this award is for you guys! :)

With all the chaos of Thanksgiving I didn't get out my camera much this past week. Sad, right?! I should have been snapping like crazy since we were around family.  But, I did manage to get a fairly cute shot of Brody and his cousin Ava riding behind a John Deere that Jonathan was driving down the lane in the orange grove.

I know...not very interesting photos.  They don't even excite me and it's my family! Forgive me for not stepping up to the plate this week.

What about you guys? Did you find the time to take some great photos?
