Well, friends! The nighttime Christmas lights video tour has me beat! I’ve tried and tried and it’s just not going to happen – sigh! One of my goals for 2018 is to improve my photography and video skills. I would love to share more video tutorials here, but there’s a learning curve when it comes to editing video. But, that’s what’s great about a new year – setting goals and making a plan to reach those goals! So, in 2018, I’m going to be taking a class or two to learn how to create videos for the blog. I also want to improve my photography skills. I have a few classes that I plan to take and I’m really excited about them. Practice is an important part of growth in any skill. So, this year I want to stretch myself by taking photos of other homes. Natural light and layout of every home is different – thus the challenge. Since I don’t have a video tour to share with you today, I did want to share some photos that I recently took of a friend’s new home in downtown Lititz. I had so much fun taking these pics and I hope you’ll enjoy seeing some more holiday photos before the New Year! It was getting dark while I was taking these, so some of the photos are more of a nighttime shot, while others are brighter. I hope you enjoy taking a peek into this Lititz town home at Christmastime!
And, here are the people who get to live in this pretty space! Of course, I had to take a picture of them in front of the tree! And, you can see that portrait photography is another area where I need some growth – ha, ha!! Just being real here!
Thanks for stopping by today to tour this Lititz town home. I had so much fun taking these pictures and I hope you enjoyed seeing something other than my home for once! I hope to do more of this in the New Year!
A few years ago I took some photos of downtown Lititz in the snow at Christmastime! You can see those images HERE.

Thanks for sharing! I think few times a single photo clip express better way than a video. Each image you have shared saying several things which a video can't.

Before I comment at the end of this neat tour an ad popped up — looked like an old 35mm camera drawn on a chalkboard. It said in chalk “Can you take a simple picture? “. I immediately thought 💭 ummm no. But this tour was by someone who can!!! I liked seeing how your friend used simple things like clear ornaments and put something inside and put them in a white bowl. Her use of candles on unusual candlesticks. I liked how she put lights on the buffet (?) to simply shine. This was very kind of her to let us peek into her lovely home that has so many decor elements I like! Thank her for us. I’m sorry for all the work you did on our behalf that did not work out. I like your positive attitude about plans for next year. Happy New Year!!!
