Why is it I take over 300 photos during the course of a soccer game and the one shot I really want to capture I miss. Grant the "garbage man" took out the trash collecting a garbage goal off a shot that bounced right out of the goalies arms. Where was I screaming and jumping up and down and I have a nice blurry shot of the grass to prove it.
From the look on his face I think you can tell who won the game. I will have more chances for that perfect shot tomorrow afternoon. Speaking of which when I hit the field I will be sporting a new camera. After dinner tonight my wonderful family surprised me with an early birthday present. I am now the proud owner of a Canon 40D.
Have you seen the new chipboard garland from Tinkering Ink. It comes in two shapes - the traditional pennant and a scallop oval.
I made this simple holiday garland from the scallop oval and Tinkering Ink's Yuletide 2 Collection. I cut out the letters with my Wishblade and pop dotted them on pink paper which I cut freehand just larger than the letters. Can you see a trend I just can't get enough of the Yuletide Collection. The colors are the perfect mix of traditional and unusual and I love adding pink and light blue as accent colors.
It's been a wild week thanks for all the well wishes and emails. I cannot tell you how amazed I am to have been named a 2009 Master with such a wonderful talented group of women. My darling friend Lisa Dorsey tagged me a few days ago. I am out of steam for the evening and my bed is calling so I will attend to tagging another day.
Cheers,
What a great birthday gift! Lovin' the garland!
