Weekend Catchup

A quick post to show you all what I've been up to on the weekend.  Got a couple of layouts done, and I'm quite happy with the results.  The first one, 'adored' also used some stamps I designed and Judy from Scrappin' Bug Stamps made up for me... really like how they turned out!

Next is 'Sneak Peak into My Life' which has lots of 'eye' pics and lifting hidden bits... the kids enjoyed looking that this one.

ALSO, on Sunday I went to Harvey Normans to check out a NEW CAMERA!!!!  Golly gee I'm a naughty girl.  I've been aching to get a Canon 400D for SO long - and now I can... so I wanted to check it all out... and there, beside the Canon 400D is the Canon 30D... and I'm having heart palpitations!!!

Stayed at HN for about 3/4 of an hour just playing with the camera, and deciding if I really needed/wanted the larger camera.  No doubts about it, I really WANTED it!!!  But to justify the extra expense I was battling with myself... 'you shouldn't... but... oh, it's so nice... and look at how quick the camera is.... and the lens is better... but you shouldn't'... you know how it goes.  But Michael decided that I should just get what I want... and I kept saying to him 'are you sure?' 'I can get the other one... but... oh, aren't the images NICE'...

Got the phone call today that our finance is approved (also buying furniture as well)... and Michael's been playing off two local camera stores with each other to get the best price!!!  So far, I have a kit that includes:

* Canon 30D with BIG lens (worth $1100)

* UV and Polarising filters

* Hood attachment

* 2Gig flash card

* Bag

* Extended 2 year warranty

I also want to get a macro lens, a remote control, and a big flash... but will have to wait and see how the battle goes with the prices... lol...

Soon there will be MANY, many photos!
