Avoiding Christmas Shopping

I should be busy trying to catch up on all my Christmas shopping and wrapping but I am excited because I have a tripod and remote for my camera. Dorky I know. I was sitting here twiddling my thumbs wondering what to take a photos of. Looking at my twiddling thumbs I noticed they needed a manicure. Bingo! The results were a lame Christmas inspired french polish and I could have taken the photo without the remote. I used Sally Hansen Cafe Au Lait (the best nude colour) and Bloom Aspen.

I also found a hair donut and decided to attempt an updo. I have never used one before and I think it would be a lot easier if I my hair was a little thicker.

 I let my daughter play with my camera too. I love this photo she took of herself. Isn't she cute.

After putting it off all morning I headed out to North Lakes, again.  I still wasn't able to get all my shopping done, but I had fun with my six year old playing with all the testers in Target. We also tried out the new Sushi bar, it's located between Dymocks and Dan Murphy's. It was good and the service was fast. I could have sat for hours watching the hypnotic food go round and round.

Meet my new friend!

A facebook friend told me about a local business called Lenz Friendz.  I visited their facebook page and thought it was fantastic.  They make a soft accessory for your camera and have 13 fun, colourful designs to choose from.  I take my camera everywhere and am constantly snapping (verbally, emotionally and with my camera).  I dare any child, or even adult, to look away when I approach with my 'Crazy Bird', he has since been renamed Leo.

Jessica is the lady behind this great product.  Her mum is a photographer and when Jessica helped her out on shoots, she noticed how difficult it can be to make children look at the camera.  She came up with this design to give the kids something to focus on.  This is only $15 including postage.

I took Leo to Monkey business this morning to test him out.  He more than did his job and was worth every cent.
