Birthday Stash

I got some awesome presents for my birthday this year- first, look at these goodies:

Birthday presents!

Starbucks card, chocolate covered graham crackers, "Linger" which I just can't wait to read, and the two Twilight movies (much to the chagrin, LOL, of my brother and sister who had to buy them for me). I also got a generous gift from my in-laws, and I think I might have another gift on the way from my sister and her husband:


So. excited. for this book. I just hope I don't read any spoilers before I get to it- I want to quick re-read Hunger Games and Catching Fire before picking this one up.

And then... my parents gave me....

Birthday Present

A Nikon D3000! Squeee!

Do you think I'm excited?

New Camera!

And then to top it all off, my wonderful husband got me Photoshop Elements. Now, I have no idea how to use my camera or Elements yet, but I'm super excited to start learning!!! If you're a photography person- any suggestions for resources?

  1. Nice! I'm super excited to read Mockingjay myself, and of course the camera is awesome!

    I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've heard good things about 12 weeks to better photos here:

    and I'm about to start a four week online photography class. She's offering another one in October so I'll let you know what I think. I have found photo challenges to be really good to make you get out and practice too. Have fun!
