Holidays are slowly creeping in on us and this time, of the year singing ''#Christmas is coming'' again, I am officially ready to embrace my holiday, submitted my assignments yesterday and I am so happy and ready to bake and cook. When my family is joining me what more can I ask for. I got a book and pencil ready and I am planning what all I want to bake this festive season, I did bake so many cakes, cookies, bread, pies, tarts and more, last year but could never blog about it. I am going to bake them all again and blog about this season.
You must be wondering why have I a blog post saying #52daysofcreativeexposure, one of my favourite buddy blogger Simi , my virtual mentor awesome photographer (you will swoon when you see her photographs they are so gorgeous) makes me want to live next door to her and stalk her to see how she catches those amazing images in her lens!!. She started a thread on FB and few of us joined with her to learn photography, I do not know how much I have learnt, but I have started with something. There are some fabulous photographers in that group who all share the same passion and are ready to give us a critical input into each photo uploaded and I have really enjoyed thanks to all those people who have been my Guru's (teacher) in my learning curve. I have joined one more photography group led by Jennifer, whenever I post photos there, they give me a critical appreciation on my photos.
This post is all about friendship and inspiration, I have made some wonderful friends through blogging and facebook, who were strangers and whom I had never met, who have become very good friends now. They are ready to share their knowledge, teach and criticize and have helped me learn from their photographs and tutorials, blessed I am to have such good friends. A heartfelt thank you is all I say. I wanted to name them all here, but it is a long list 🙂

Jayasri, please please please move next door - I would love to have a friend next door who understands my madness. There is so much to talk, share with like minded people. I always wish to have a neighbor who shares the same madness like me.
These images are beautiful, thank you for the mention 🙂 I created a group so we can all learn from each other and I think we had a fabulous time!!
I owe you a virtual get-together, where we both can photograph - as soon as the holidays are over 🙂
Happy Holidays with lots of love to you & your family.

Sorry for this late reply, I had not logged on to my computer from past 3 weeks I simply took such a long break, missing what was in store for me to read. I am so so so so happy to read this. Jumping with joy, you know how much it means to me. I am over the moon and definitely would love to move next door, if I get a chance, I have already told you I will become your assistant :). I am waiting for that virtual training. Hope you had a wonderful holiday and I did enjoy that wonderful group it was amazing
