My Favorite Gift

In the spirit of the holidays, I’m posting a series where my favorite bloggers (and I) are sharing our favorite gifts.  I’m kicking things off with my most favorite gift – my Canon Rebel xs DSLR camera.

My parents gave me the camera as a 26th birthday gift, but it wasn’t until I took this DSLR workshop (a gift from my husband) that I actually learned how to use it.  Both gifts helped cultivate a new hobby that quickly is turning into a passion.  Thanks to these gifts, the walls in my apartment are covered in photos from our travels and my blog has great original photography.  As appealing the convenience of my iPhone and Instagram are, I still lug my DSLR wherever I go.

I’m off to Costa Rica for the next week and India shortly after, so I’ve enlisted some of my blogger friends to guest post in my absence.  I hope you enjoy reading about their favorite gifts – and happy holidays to you all!
