Discovered in the Yuletide Spirit - December 17th

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

I have always loved collages. Seeing them reappearing in fandom as 'moodboards', I decided to try making one for our lads. They - and you all- have brought me such comfort and joy! Wishing the same for you during this season, and always. ❤️

This is fantastic! I love the different photos, they just all come together so well. Nicely done!

Absolutely magnifico! You always come up with such brilliant and original ideas. (I've told you that.) They're all brilliant but the one in the bath is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for making my day.

I am absolutely delighted with your collage.
Great choice of pics, especially the bathtub.  That's awesome !
Thank you very much.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

This is so beautiful - especially that pic in the bath *swoons just a bit*

Love the idea of mood boards for fandom, too! Maybe you'll inspire other people to play for Pros. *g*

Thank you!

I love this! How adorable. Every block is a treat. There is so much to see. Thank you!

[sunray45.livejournal.com]

Absolutely marvellous! Love the pictures you have chosen and the way you have put them together. A labour of love, methinks. *bg*
Hope you and yours have a wonderful Christmas.

This is wonderful! Love the picture choices (lads and not lads), and the bathtub!!!

I'd never heard of 'moodboards' before - something to look into...

You do very bad things and you do them very well! ;-)

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I am just glad you like it! Merry Christmas

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas :)

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

I feel honored - *you* are the master of photos and graphics, after all! Thank you so much. I am glad you like it. Merry Christmas

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Aww, I am so glad that it worked and that you like it! Thank you. And Merry Christmas!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

{{{S2K}}} you make me so happy! I am thrilled that you like it - I wasn't sure if it would work out - but now feel the relief and pleasure of having given back a little. Thank you for joining me in a magical slice of time with Bodie and Doyle.

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

;) 

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Yay - you liked it! Thank you! As I said above, you all who share this love for Bodie and Doyle occupy a special place in my heart. Having just reread a number of your Christmas fics, I am incredibly grateful to you for all you've gifted to us. Merry Christmas!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Chuffed that you like it! I will do my best to get the bathtub picture up for you. And thank you so much. :) Merry Christmas!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you! Merry Christmas!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

I think I will burst of happiness - you all are so kind, and you like it, you *get* it - we share it, just like we share our love Bodie and Doyle! Thank you! Merry Christmas :)

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

BSL, thank you so so much. You give so much to our community - over the many years and every day. The stories you've given us are forever in my heart. Just to give you a glance of the pleasure you've given me means a lot to me. Merry Christmas :)
And yes, here's to more moodboards, more discussion, more art, more stories, more vids, more joy!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

I am getting a big head from everyone's kind words! Thank you! But it's really the magic of B and D and the spell they weave around us. Merry Christmas

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Yes! A labor of love, no doubt about it. Super glad that I could give back a tiny bit of the beauty and happiness you've gifted to us. Thank you for sharing the B&D love and Merry Christmas!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I am very happy and grateful that it worked for you. B&D are magic, aren't they? Moodboards came up for me while I was reading The Song of Achillesby Madeline Miller -  I was amazed at the beauty and power of the collages people were making about it. Obviously, I wanted the same for B&D! I know I am not at the level of those artists - they are incredible! - but it was like a meditation. Filling up my heart and mind with Bodie and Doyle. For me, the most time was spent just sitting with pictures, the most difficult was narrowing choices down from hundreds to ones! This one really revolved around the bathtub image - just imagining them together near Christmas in London.
Again, thank you. Thank you for your beautiful stories. Merry Christmas!

[siskiou.livejournal.com]

This is so lovely! Thanks so much! I can't stop looking.

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

You give so much to our community - over the many years and every day. The stories you've given us are forever in my heart.

Amen to that.

[krisserci5.livejournal.com]

Fabulous!!!!

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

What a beautiful moodboard! I love the balance of themes, lighting, and colour, but even more than that, I love the story that unfolds. Thank you for creating this intimate portrait of the Lads' and their lives together. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It is very hard indeed to take our eyes off of the lads... They couldn't keep their eyes off each other, either! Merry Christmas!

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Merry Christmas :)

[paris7am.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love your images and graphic creations - your talent is amazing. I can hardly believe that I was able to make something that youenjoyed, for once, after the many many times time stopped for me while I soaked in your creations! So glad you like it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[sw33n3y.livejournal.com]

Enjoying it, I have been! There is so much in this image, I've been back to revisit it, several times. ...It's like an exquisite dish you want to savour.

Thank you so much for those kind words about my images. It means a lot to me.

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

Wow, this is lovely! Thank you so much for sharing it with us <3

[freetraveller15.livejournal.com]

Well done
Merry Christmas 🎄🥂😊
