On Tuesday I got a

little excited.
I know its wrong or at least a little sad to be excited about what's in this massive box ...............

but I really don't care cause it's all mine ...............

and I can get excited if I want to right?

It's fab but no it won't make tea!!!!

Mum ...............

came the call from downstairs, you know that tone when you can be sure it's not going to be good news and true to form it wasn't good news.

Ceramic snowman meets tiled hearth and snowman definitely came off worse. 

It was however an accident and as I love that snowman I dug out the glossy accents in the absence of super glue (note to self must get super glue in) and set to work ...........

The results are a lot less than perfect but from a distance and for the amount of time they're out of the box for it isn't gonna matter.

I like a happy ending.

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.
