A special thanks to everyone in this section for making it a very enjoyable and inspirational year! The creativity in this section is over the top. As we all know, it takes time to post and give details on the behind the scenes creations. It is greatly appreciated. On another note, and I hope it's okay, I would like to share what has become a traditon in our family on Christmas morning. It's a wonderful story about sharing and showing kindness. I think I have shared this with some of you in the past, but here it is for those of you that haven't heard it:

Thanks to you too Fstop, your insightful critique has been helpful and put kindly, which is how it should be with us all. Good to have you contributing to the section.

Without sharing a photo is just a photo in a pile to be forgotten. Without sharing why put forth the effort to make art out of what could be called just a snapshot?

I have enjoyed your work in this and other sections, over a thousand ... quite a history.

Fstop, I agree with your sentiments. This has become my favorite section to read each day with my morning coffee. No snarkiness (not sure that's a real word) and negativity. Just good folks who generously enjoy sharing their creative ideas and talent, and are willing to help others. I really enjoy everyone's creativity and definitely feel inspired by your work! One of these days, I might actually create something worthy of sharing. Until then, I will continue to enjoy the work created by the friendly people in this section.
Thank you, also, for sharing John Henry Faulk's Christmas story. Merry Christmas!!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the story. Please don't sell yourself short on exploring your creativity and sharing the results. Don't be intimidated by what other's post. I think we are all a good group of like minded people in this group. My advice is, post away, ask questions, have discussions etc. It will make your morning cup of coffee much better. :-)
