sorry...

I am SO slack! New Year's Resolution: Better Blogger. Promise. The winner of my RAK was Kerryn! I'm not AT ALL surprised! She wins Sunday Night Games at KTM WAY too often! I should have known she was too clever for me! LOL! And only 1 off the correct answer of 84 items in the Embellishment Jar! Well Done! I actually transferred the items to an organza bag for ease of posting and now it turns out I don't have to mail it anyway but I have no idea where the original jar is gotten to Love, Sorry! In other news, Christmas was of course LOVELY. K was SUPER spoilt - she got HEAPS of cool stuff (I wish I was a kid again! - Well a kid in our house anyway - mine never had many pressies! LOL) She got a digi camera - better than mine!!!!! So was assigned the task of Official Photographer for the Season. Her cute pics included approximately 75 of the dashboard on the way up the hill to Xmas lunch! And surprisingly few heads once we got there - interesting, considering how many people she photographed!!! I love her perspective of Christmas Day though - I urge you to try it some time, just refuse to take the pics. Hand the camera over to a 5 year old - I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised at the different view captured. Sharna is a DREAM. I can overlook her nighttime sleep issues because I am SO IN LOVE with her every sweetness during the day. I went to my Grandma's 80th birthday on the 23rd. (She shares her birth day with The Lord! LOL) I haven't seen her in 13 years. So of course she never met my girls. I made her this mini album to 'introduce' her to them. I figured she would see them for 5 mins by the time the day was over, and probably not even remember their names in all honesty so I wanted something for her to keep to remember them by. It just has pics and a few facts about each, really simple. Sorry about the little pics. You can see a bigger shot HERE. (I hope!) I have decided to start a LIFE JOURNAL on 1 Jan 2008. Too many little everyday moments go by without a second thought and I want to remember them. They are more important to me than the 'events' that get scrapbooked without a second thought. I want to record our REAL lives. HEAVILY inspired by LEE and JEN. Covered him today - so DESPERATELY can't wait to start - SUPER excited that I only have a few more days!

Expect to see some regular sharing! PROMISE!

Oh wow how cool. Thanks Nic. Not bad for a stab in the dark.
I think your idea of kids taking photos is great. How cool to see things literally from their perspective.

louis has been taking photos for about a year now (he's the same age as jaspa) and he takes some absolute beauties - some are kind of weird, but most have a different slant of life. some brilliant self portraits.
happy new year - good luck with the life journal.
cheers
