Digitally Printed Garments

I am trying to establish a Christmas Eve tradition for my family. Ever since we stopped going to my husband’s grandmother’s house for her family Christmas party on Christmas Eve, we haven’t really had anything to do that night. At first I was okay with that, after having somewhere to go every single Christmas Eve since I was a baby (growing up we went to my dad’s family gathering on Christmas Eve then once I was married we started going to my husband’s family function), it was nice to not have to pack up the kids and go anywhere, getting home late only to wrestle with the kids to get them into their new Christmas printed pajamas and then to bed so I could relax and put out the Santa presents. But after a couple of years of having nothing to do, I realized that I missed it. And since I want Christmas Eve to be enjoyable and not stressful, I’ve tried to think of something fun to do. Last year I came up with the idea of putting some hot chocolate in a thermos, grabbing some snacks, and after an early supper of homemade pizza, heading out to drive around and look at Christmas lights for a while, then head home and put the kids to bed. That seemed to work well and we all enjoyed it so we’re going to do it again this year. It’s also a good opportunity for me to take some lovely high color photographs of the Christmas lights. I’m not sure it’s a tradition that will hold since after a while the kids will get too old to want to look at Christmas lights, but it will work as a tradition for the foreseeable future anyway.

Digital Printing

The other evening, I took a break from looking at the high color photographs I was looking at on my computer and stepped outside for a moment right around sunset and just happened to look toward the sky above my house. What I noticed really quite surprised me. Then I looked around further and noticed more. There were tons of dragonflies flying around. I’ve seen many dragonflies around my parents’ pond during the middle of the day, but seeing as how it’s a pond, that’s to be expected. I don’t have a pond anywhere near my home (the closest thing I have is a photo printed on a shirt) so that is where the surprise at seeing so many came in. Plus even during the heat of the day, I could count on one hand the number of dragonflies I’ve seen around my property. But this was such an interesting and unexpected experience that I (of course) just had to head back into my house to grab my camera. When I got back out, the dragonflies were still flying around so I took several shots. There’s nothing terribly spectacular about the pictures I got other than the fact that I was able to capture several dragonflies all in one shot. I’m glad that I have a nice digital printer, though. That way if I should decide I want a copy of my picture, I have the ability to create a crisp digital print that I can feel comfortable hanging on my wall if I want.
