Best Christmas Present EVER!


My parents got me a brand spanking new camera for Christmas.  The Canon Rebel T1i.... ahhhh!  It's absolutely perfect and a thousand times better than the one I originally picked out.

Now that I am back home, and have had time to start learning all the ins and outs of my new toy, I can't seem to stop taking pictures.  During the first night and within 45 minutes I had taken 154 pictures (eek!).  I do feel a little bad for Maggie and the Boy tho.  They have had the joy of being my guinea pigs.

Here are some pics from the new camera:

 
I was pretty impressed that I was able to focus on his hands in this one!
Please forgive my appearance, the Boy snapped a photo of my excitement.

Inspiration: Christmas

Last week I mention how I left my camera at my parents' house here.  The next time I will be home won't be until Thanksgiving, so all of my projects are sitting here waiting to have pictures taken.

As you can probably tell from my previous posts (the one about my ornament centerpiece or the one about my Christmas tree ribbon, or even the one about Christmas wrapping paper), I absolutely adore the Christmas season.  Some of my favorite things are:

1)outfits full of layers, pair of boots, scarf, and pretty coats so the air starting to get colder is perfect for me.

2)It's hard to beat the smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven.

3)Spending time at home with the whole family, our tradition is to play a new board game on Christmas day after we've opened all of the presents and had breakfast.

4)Decorating!  I will spend hours decorating one part of my place until it's perfect.  It will take me even twice as long to put the finishing touches on my tree!

5)Wrapping presents, if you haven't read my post about wrapping paper you should because it explains why all my gifts must be wrapped in paper not in bags.  Something about spending a little more time on each gift means more.

If you can imagine, I have been a decorating fool this past week.  Leaving my camera three hours away hasn't stopped me from getting my place in the Christmas spirit.  However, I have many, many decorating ideas and DIY projects to talk about and display, but that will have to wait until I can show them off. :)

In the meantime, I've been finding inspiration online for new ideas.  Here's what has been inspiring me this past week:

Oh no! No camera!

In all my glory, I left my camera at the folks house this past weekend.  I'm really depressed about it too because my camera goes with me everywhere - I mean everywhere.  So, for this week I will have to share photos taken with my iPhone.  The quality may not be as good and I can't do that many fancy tricks with the Photoshop App as I can with the full blown program, but it will have to suffice.


Maggie on our way home from the folks house... she was soo sleepy.
