Thank you Marawder, I have to agree with you, but I am biased!

Also would like to complement you on your tree decorating ability, your gift wrapping ability, your choice of slate (although they look like ones that lock together as opposed to true african slate tiles), they go well with your choice of textured wall color, and finally your choice of a wide white base board which when combined looks rather elegant overall. Pleasant dreams and what the heck is a sugar plum anyway? Frank

Frank, I wish I were responsible for HALF the stuff you mentioned, but the truth is, all I did was take the picture. Some one else's house and tree, so I can't take credit for those. But thanks for the thought!

Hi, I've just seen this now, Robert

The first photo, with your grand-daughter's cheeky expression and laugh, and your grand son's sweet innocent expression is just superb. A real keeper - "Christmas 2010" - precious memories forever.

The 2nd photo is also good... your grandchildren pose well. Third photo, it seems as if the children were 'cut and paste in' (ie put from another photo on this Christmas tree background) - if that's the effect that 'auto smart fix' function.

Thanks for sharing! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and will look forward to a great, safe, happy year 2011. Warm regards,

Paul

Hi Paul, yeah, I should've posted the first two and not the third. The one-button fix is something I don't normally use, but decided to in this case. The feedback has made me change my mind for the future, however. It only works for certain things, but not for everything obviously!
