December Daily : Day 21 & 22

Day 22:


I found this cool technique I just *had* to try. At first I saw this lens and an adapter than created this look by Lensbaby and I really wanted it. However, I've spent enough on photography this year and don't need any more write offs. (Translation: I've spent enough on Christmas and have already received my BIG gift from my hubby so it wasn't going to happen.) So, I stumbled upon this tutorial and made my own in a matter of minutes for free! If you have a lens with a small aperture. I used a 50mm F1.8. For the money this a nice lens and I would recommend it for anyone out there wanting to take some nice portrait shots and who wants to do this neat technique! I would love of course to have the50mm L glass but $90 compared to $1500 hmmmm... see above re: not needing any more write offs.

Here are my digital pages for Day 16. I just have to say I'm loving this digital stuff. I think I may be hooked. It's so much easier and I really think I'll have a better chance of catching up.

December Daily 2009: Day 13

We got lots of presents wrapped today. Blake is the resident wrapper in the house and does a better job than me hands down. I'm the girl that accessorizes the packages. :-)

Oh and yes I've changed to doing the album digitally. Don't worry I won't let teh albumI already created go to waste. I already have an idea for it. For next year that is. LOL

December Daily 2009: Day 12

We headed to Good Times for an ice cream treat (who needs hot cocoa?) and to drive around and look at Christmas lights. A fun tradition that I look forward to every year. Andrew got tired after a bit and said, "I don't think we are ever going to find our way home!" After I told him, "We are looking at lights because some people spent hours or days decorating their homes just so we can look at them and ohh and awwww over them. Isn't that nice?" Then he sees the next house and says very loudly "AWWWWWWWW!! Look at that house Mommy!" Hmmm.... are you mocking me kid or just appeasing me? I'll go with the appeasing me for now. :-)

check out the house on the upper right with the peace sign on the roof. They are up on a hill and this is the backside of the house. The front side is the photo just to left of it with all of the lights just thrown everywhere. Andrew thinks it looks like a jungle.
