Holiday Party 2007!

This is a photo collage of the 2007 photos from the Holiday Party with co-workers. This particular year I helped coordinate and made the invitations. The invitations were printed onto festive paper with matching envelopes and on this video you just get to see what I had originally typed out. The celebration took place on December 8th at the Kiwanis Park in Tempe, Arizona.

Flowers: From me to me!

This is a photo collage of a bouquet of carnations that I got myself back on the 27th of November of the year 2007. That's right, I've been getting myself flowers long before there were songs about getting yourself flowers. Don't wait for someone to get you flowers to get flowers!

Autumn Wreath ~ November 2007

Autumn Wreath ~ November 2007

On the 22nd of November of the year 2007, I made an Autumn wreath to place on the front door of the house we were living in at the time. 

Wreaths are one of those decoration items that in the past I'd only think of as a December type decoration for the winter holidays. I remember for a few years prior to this, I'd wanted to have one for the Autumn season also. There's certainly a huge variety of them at many price points, however could never bring myself to purchase a store made one. 

Finally, on this day, I made my own using leaves from an old Autumn garland that I already had. 

On the blog, I posted an image later in February of 2008. http://elkirbster.blogspot.com/2008/02/fall-wreath.html

At some point, a how to do it video will be created and shared via my Amalgam Creative Arts channel: https://www.youtube.com/amalgamcreativearts

Discover India ~ Diwali ~ November 2007

Discover India ~ Diwali ~ November 2007

This is a photo collage of the flyer and the four photos that were taken when we went to the 6th Annual  Discover India presented by the India Association of Phoenix & its Sister Organizations that took place on Sunday, November 18, 2007. 

Can't remember why I didn't take more photos, however since only had four photos, which were a bit dark, and the flyer, I decided to edit the photos to get a better look. Then, played a bit with the zoom for a better look at the whole flyer.

It was a free event that also celebrated Diwali, The Festival of Lights.

Zoom Edit of JDRF ~ Walk to Cure Diabetes ~ November 2007

Zoom Edit of JDRF ~ Walk to Cure Diabetes ~ November 2007

After having watched the original collage of the JDRF ~ Walk to Cure Diabetes ~ November 2007 https://youtu.be/Mj5D36fB2_g?si=-utJRooETVOxFU6K noticed that, because some of the photos had a large view of the sky du to photos being taken as we walked, when zoomed in they mostly ended on the sky. Therefore, decided to update to modify a bit of the zoom animation to zoom into what was intended the photo to be of. I though of deleting the original and replacing it with this new one, however ultimately decided I'd just keep both. So enjoy a second look at the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes with a bit of zoom animation edits.

From the original upload:

This is a collection of the photos taken during the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund Walk to Cure Diabetes that took place November 03, 2007. Many of the photos have interesting angles and vies of plenty of sky because most were taken as we were walking.  The walk took place in Downtown Tempe at the Tempe Beach Park.
