We have two

shiny clean hounds in the house and bath full of towels to show for it.

 It was so worth it as both Charlie and Missy's coats are gleaming.

Shame that dog shampoo doesn't smell better cause after the effort of getting to our two greyhounds in and out of the bath it'd be great if they smelt as good as they looked. Oh well can't have everything or can you? Maybe a little research is needed.

Wishing you a

Well Hello 2011

We celebrated the start of the New Year in our very own style, quietly at home. The final flourish to our evening was stealing a kiss and wishing each other a Happy New Year.

I didn't get any gold boxes

under the Christmas tree this year but I must have been a very good girl cause I did receive some amazing gifts.

Home for Christmas 2010

In fact I think it's fair to say that Her, Him and Me were all very happy with our gifts.

Well it would seem

that unashamed self promotion works.  I not only made the top 3 but was the clear winner. I'd like to thank anybody and everybody that took the time to vote especially it was for me!

I've been busy with more assignments that have really got me thinking about my photography cause recently I've not really been taking photos and those I have taken have been snaps that I took without even thinking about them. It's also helped me fall in love all over again with my Nikon D70 and 50mm prime len.

This was from an earlier assignment, definitely scrapping material don't you think

Perhaps if I've been a really good girl I might get a little gold box under the Christmas tree.

I'm chuffed to bits

to have not only got a place on Cheryl's 12 Days of Christmas photography workshop, met the deadline for all but one of the assignments but get this I also made the top 20 shortlist for the Self Portrait assignment.

This was my photo for the assignment


There's a vote for the top three and if you fancy casting your vote (for me of course) you need to head over to Cheryl's blog.

12 Day of Christmas,

no I haven't lost the plot although I can't believe I've mentioned the 'C' word this early in the year!

It's just I have to give a shout out for Cheryl Johnson's new online photography workshop - 12 Days of Christmas which start on the 1st December. So you better get yourself over to her website and get yourself registered. Me and Hannah have.

Tuesday's little

clear out that turned into a rather large sort out, which I then ran out of time to finish is now complete. So both me and him are happy.

Sadly that is only the beginning. I have plans to down size my stash and move out of the dinning room and upstairs into the computer room. It can be done but it's gonna be a marathon and not a sprint.

So if you've down sized your stash what do you do with the stash you know you'll never use? 

Selling is near impossible and finding new homes is time consuming, both just sap away all your energy.

Throwing it all in a skip would be quick but too painful, I need to find a better way. Suggestions would be most welcome.
