SONY DSCMy husband’s briefcase.  And that is a wrap folks.  This is my last theme for 2012!!  Yippee!  I did it 2 years in a row.  Now I have a little break until I start the 2013 challenge.  You can sign up and join in on the Elements Village website at http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/ in the Pixel Hangout forum.  Myself and another forum member have made the list of themes which is also posted there.  I have learned so much doing these challenges and really pushed myself out of the box.  It is wonderful fun to do and following others doing the same thing is a great support!  So neat to see others’ take on the themes.  Fantastic photographers out there!  So come join the fun!  So from now till then I will just post fun pictures.  Happy Holidays everyone!!
