So most of you (all 4 of you) know how I recently purchased a new SLR camera, and that I am loving it to death! Here's the thing - I have a trip to NYC soon and have been concerned about carrying it around with me because I will look like an unsightly tourist and I like to think that I know the city better than that.

So I've been on the lookout for a better way to carry my camera. and let me tell you - I have found it.

Epiphanie sells these amazing bags that are designed specially for SLR cameras - and fashionistas who want to be stylish without carrying a man-bag to hold their camera.

I've decided upon the blue one. Guess why? It's called "Belle."


So excited. Buying one soon. Can't wait to get it. :)

My left foot is really sore today. I have no idea why. But it's now at the point where I'm limping. I'm hoping it goes away overnight. I have too much to do at work to even think about calling in sick.

I was supposed to spend this evening on video edit projects, but had so many things come up that by the time I could have started working...it was 9pm. I knew I wouldn't get much done, so I just decided to wrap up my latest sketch challenge from Studio Calico. Here's the result.

The photo is blurry because my foot hurt too much to carry the page and the camera to better lighting. Sorry. :\

Loving that I am consistently making at least 1 scrapbook page each week. It might not seem like much, but it's a huge improvement and the sense of accomplishment (on something other than work, classes, cleaning, boring life stuff) is amazing.

today.

It's the first day of spring. It snowed. A lot. It's like a winter wonderland outside.

UGH.

We stayed home all day, and I have been doing laundry and crafting. Finished up a couple of scrapbook layouts, and am currently sewing pillows for the living room (finally!).

Here's a glance at my latest scrapbook creation - got it finished just in time to enter the Sunday Sketch challenge on the Studio Calico blog. Woohoo!

Hoping for a heat wave overnight so all the snow will be gone when I wake up... We'll see.

i do believe in faeries...

Hosting programs at the library sometimes has benefits. Like, when you get free face painting.

And when you've never had your face painted before (because your mom always said no)...it's a pretty amazing event.

Loving my SLR today.
