3KCBWDAY2: a "little" help (photography challenge)

remember the elves and the shoemaker? wouldn't it be nice if we laid out our work for the next morning only to awaken to completed projects and a clean workspace? 

i think so. especially this week! what a couple of crazy days we have had.

first roll.

 

 

we got our new camera!

it's been one and a half days and i've taken 600+ shots. many are just me testing the waters... but i'm really quite happy and inspired by my new friend! 

after i've logged more hours on the newbie i may do a full write up... but for now, briefly. we got the Canon EOS Rebel T3i. when it came down to it i liked my first rebel until it brokedown... and i dropped it. we wanted to stay in the Canon lens family, and the camera's overall first impression is pretty great. as i said, i'm happy. love the screen. love the weight. basic functions A+. haven't touched the video, that's for joey to play with. i don't have more than that at this point so 'to be continued'.

big week. lots happening. lots getting done. then my mom and sister visit!

love.

car ride...

Joey and I took Roxy to the Veteran's Park Dog Run on Tuesday for the first time. We had taken Crystal there a few times but unless there is someone there to chase her all over the place she never really dug it - and Roxy was finally old enough we thought to start really getting socialized so we tried it out. They loved it! I was so surprised at how well Roxy did with the other dogs... she was a good little pack mate!

I didn't take my camera into the park because I had no clue how it was all going to work out but next time I'm definitely taking it in....

we did have some fun on the car ride home though!


Crystal is so cute in the car. She LOVES car rides and sits on my lap or on Joe's the whole time watching...





And Roxy is a ham...
Yoda face!


And yeah... had to take a couple of myself but I was grunging it that day (especially with sand and dirty dogs all over me). Oh, and yes I did dye my hair practically black. And I LOVE it!

I cannot wait to scrap these photos... they all came out pretty great (imho... lol)!

So what am I working on today? I have a project I'm finishing up for a new C&T Publishing Release. My other projects for them have finally been released so I will probably be posting the full pics of them tomorrow so everyone can see them finally! I hate waiting... lol. I'm also working on some fun stuff with Hambly for A Million Memories AND my AMM DT Entry (I hope everyone decides to try out! It's a great club to work for!!)

Oh one more thing... have you seen.....

Sassafrass Lass Pocketful of Rosies


I want this line... SO BAD! I totally am in love with it. This is my favorite of the papers but I really love them all and you can see them all by clicking on the link up there. Check them out! No buying more stuff though until after the move *tear*.....

Tomorrow is Friday... YAY! And.... I'll be doing a little blog giveaway featuring a *BRAND NEW* C&T Publishing Product. I'll also be doing some stash RAKs in the next few weeks to purge a bit and share the goods before I move. So be sure to stop by tomorrow!

{hugs}

I MEANT to work....

Things have been so crazy here... BIG BIG news is coming as well as some exciting BIG news. lol. I can't share all of it yet because I want to make sure the BIG news is for sure so I don't jinx it...

But it's Sunday and I hadn't blogged in SO LONG so I wanted to share a little book I did for AMM late last month....









I did this little spring story book from the AMM February Kit... there are still a few left and it's so cute if you want to grab one of the last ones!

Did you see the AMM March Kit???


It's all sold out but was so fabulous! I love the colors and butterflies! Oh and those thickers are just too cool... you won't want to miss April's kit... I'll have a sneak very soon!

You should definitely check out some things happening at A Million Memories... there have
some really great changes in the store and galleries.

Today Joe and I checked out the garage sale area of FleaMasters in Ft. Myers... and I picked up one of these vintage cuties...


Mine isn't this clean... lol! But it was only $4! I'm going to search out some film, clean this baby up, and see if I can't get some very cool vintage photos from it. I'll take some pics of my new brownie later this week and post. Even if she doesn't work I'm so stoked on how cute it is and what a great find she was! I haven't decided what to name her yet (I think she's a she... lol) but I'll take name suggestions. This is one camera that just NEEDS a name! lol....

Okay, I'm off to finish some things so that I can post ALL of my Zoe projects all at once tomorrow FINALLY!

Have a great Sunday!
