When I wake up on Mondays, I have this game where I think of all the reasons I should get out of bed with a smile. Some days, I come up with a nice, long list and some days I lie in bed for 15 minutes but…nada. On those days, I suppose being able to lie in bed for an extra 15 minutes is already a reason to smile.
Today I’ve got a good list and that’s always worth sharing.
1. It’s 35 days to Christmas. The kids just got their first present from their grandparents over the weekend so Christmas has come early this year. We’ll find some time to put up the tree this week – very excite!
2. On the theme of Christmas, I’ll be doing a weekly Christmas giveaway for the whole of December. Stay tuned to the Mother, Inc Facebook page, more to come soon.
3. A good friend gave this to us when we moved into our house several years back. After watching Tintin with the husband, I wanted to yank off the mast to see if there was a treasure map hidden inside but then I ran out of superglue so I didn’t do it. The treasure will have to wait.
4. I finally got every single lens in my Hipstamatic app. It’s good for all the days I don’t feel like lugging around the DSLR, or when there’s bad lighting or when I want to be discreet about my photo-taking.
Husband: Why do you need every single lens?
Me: Because…I just do. You obviously don’t understand photography or blogging.
Husband: Or your compulsiveness. 5 bucks says you won’t use all of them.
Me: Each lens has a different effect. Only a discerning photographer can see that. One day you’re going to need a red glowy effect and you won’t have it but I will. Then you’ll want to borrow my lens.
Husband: Like when I’m taking a picture of your crazy morning hair to scare the kids?
Me: Just so you know, I’m not lending you my lens.

For 5 bucks (and winner bragging rights), I am going to try every single lens/film combination if it’s the last thing I do. With that, I bring you a new segment called Hipstamatic Happiness.

I’m gonna get iPhone 4S and do a collage too. It’s been in my mind for ages but my 3GS is so lousy! So slow and the resolution… sheesh….

Oh the 4S has a really good camera, you should go for it!
I don’t have hipstamatic but I use instagram {@aisakuraharuka} :P… plus a lot of other camera apps haha.. sometimes when editing a photo I use maybe 2-3 apps.

Yes I really like instagram too. This is just me but I find that hipstamatic has better lenses and it’s much faster if you’re shooting several pictures at once.
I love the shot of the two kiddos holding hands. Makes me feel like rushing the baby to grow older quicker. And what is that man with a red hat and bow-tie? Did you make that with a spoon?
June´s last post ..You are precious
Haha don’t worry they’ll grow up soon enough and you’ll want to make them stop growing.
The spoon thingy belongs to my mom. It’s been on her fridge for a long time and now it’s on mine. I actually don’t know if she made it though..
Too cool!!!
We go hard — I bought the entire pack too! What’s your fave combo?
I haven’t actually managed to try all the combos but right now my fav is Lucas AB2 with Kodot XGrizzled. Yours?
Tough to choose one but current fave would be Bettie XL & Ina’s 1969 combo! :)
I’ma go and try yours.
