Lunch Fun

Today I went out for lunch with my older sister, her two kids, my Grandma and my Nana. We went out to the Warragul Club and I had delicious beer battered flathead tails and chips. 

When I was in Bangkok I managed to get some film for my Instax Mini (which I had just about ran out of) really cheap so it was fun to be able to play around with it again and take photos. 

I took my laptop with me so I could show Grandma and Nana my Thailand photos. 

This evening I had the house to myself and I had plans to snuggle up on the couch and watch season 1 of Sons of Anarchy - I've heard so much about this show that I decided it was about time to watch it. Only problem is that Dad bought a new dvd/blu ray player and because our copy of SOA is from the USA it's a different region and wouldn't play. 

THEN I went to watch one of the Harry Potter movies but it wouldn't play them properly so I watched Daydream Nation (which has Kat Dennings in it) off my hard drive. Ended up being a great way to spend the evening - really good movie. 

It also had an actor names Reece Thompson in it. This is him: 

He's a new favourite - he plays the kind of dorky, damaged, lovely boy very very well (I've watched him in two movies now - with a couple more on the list of movies to watch). Plus he's super cute and adorable. Bonus right?!?

Over & Out

Instax 52 weeks - week 2

I promised that all my instax photos wouldn't be of my nieces and nephew but when they're this cute on film it's hard to not include them.

Oh I'm going to love this project. The nieces are obsessed with this camera. I think they love the fact that a photo pops out straight away. They are facinated with the mini photos and LOVE to watch them develop. The squeal, yell and giggle as the photos develop then they run around showing everyone the finished photos - so cute!

How's everyone elses Instax projects going? Remember share links so I can check them out!

Shanalogic.com Happy Shopper

The lovely Shana from Shanalogic.com is having a happy shopper contest on her facebook page. The deadline was just extended to Monday 20th of December at midnight.

Above is my entry. It has 8 items that I have either purchased for myself or been given at birthdays or Christmas - can you spot them all? It was fun to play around a bit more with my instax camera. I think I'm finally getting the hang of the right kind of lighting for the different settings.

I swear my family must LOVE Shana for her store - it makes buying gifts for me super easy. I have a feeling this year will be no different and come December 25th I will be unwrapping a beautiful item from her shop.

Head over to her facebook page and enter - or just say hi, she really is amazing :)

Fujifulm Instax Mini love

This week I recieved a parcel from Taiwan. It was my Fujifilm Instax Mini that I purchased off eBay!

I took it for it's first test run (with instant film there really is no such thing as a test run) on Wednesday night for my nieces birthday party.

* I promise my puppy isn't snarling in this pic - I caught him in a yawn *

I can safely say that I am in LOVE with this camera! It's a bit chunky and my brother thought it was some kind of toy for the girls, but it feels so nice to have to actually pay attention to the photo I'm taking because there are no re-do's - you have to capture that moment perfectly with one shot.

I ordered 50 shots of film with my original purchase so that'll be plenty enough to take with me on my next journey (more on that journey soon). I cannot wait to create more Instax memories. I'm really making an effort not to go out and use up all the film in one go - I want these to be special photos - I'm sure I'll share the outcomes when I have more.

Ahhh Fujifilm Instax Mini - I've wanted you for AGES and you were worth the wait!
