Rapunzel

Had fun playing with my granddaughter last night. Her current favorite movie is Rapunzel. I had a long orange shawl and we tied it up in her hair and so she was able to pretend she had Rapunzel hair. It was fun indulging her imagination!!

I do believe in fairies. One came to visit me this evening. Her name is Gabriella Fairy Princess of the night.

January 2011

One month into the new year has almost passed. I have always been interested in photography but only recently have I done something about it. I have taken a couple of classes at the local scrapbook store from a retired high school photography teacher and he has given me the confidence to give myself permission to explore my camera. I have a DSLR that I was using as an expensive "point and shoot" camera. Now I have gotten brave enough to actually change the dials.

One of the fun things that I have learned is about painting with light. This is done at night and my props are flash lights. I have scoured my local Walmart, Walgreens, and Fry's stores for different sizes of lights including rope lights. These now grace my craft room. BUT...with these tools I have been able to create some pretty interesting stuff.

I really think I'm going to like my new hobby!
