Happy Birthday To Me - (5/21)

Well, I'm a year older today..BIG 35- YAY for me...lol! I just wanted to share a few things about my day.

Here are some presents I picked out for myself..lol!  These items are probably 'NOT' exciting to most, but for me..I'm VERY happy with my choices!

I have yet to find the 'perfect' camera bag & plus I 'LOVE' bags & would get bored with the same one..lol!  So I decided on this...it stores my camera & accessories & I can put it in 'any' bag I want! :0)


I'm buying from Amazon, but I read the reviews on B & H Photo!

After reading these reviews I decided on the smaller one, I read the items these 2 customers have and mine will fit.

I am new to photoshop, but VERY interested in getting good @ it, I've done some research & I think this one is what I need to get started!

Reviews- I found this review very helpful in explaining what each chapter is about.

& of course the Amazon reviews! :0) It's good to read what an 'actual' person reading it has to say!

I'm always looking for a great photography book! :0)  My SIL (sis-in-law) gave me this book & I started reading it a while back ( wonderful), but I left it outside & it was rained on..so another one it is! :0)

I am 'still' excited about my new camera...however I don't quite know the settings, etc...... so I bought this book...hopefully I will get to read it!

My sweet baby girl, Rylee keeps me SO busy, there's not much time for anything else! I have a stack of books I want to read..& blogs to create & re-do!


But, for now it's ALL about her & I'll do what I can in each 'free' moment I get!


Also......
My sweet husband took me to Red Lobster, ( SO GOOD) & then to Barnes & Noble, but of course me being 'cheap' I found the books I wanted & looked them up on my 1-Phone ( in the store) & said Amazom is cheaper...! Keith said 'great, let's go'...lol! Then to top it off...we went to the grocery store...(not thrilled about this..but we have to eat..lol). 


He was 'also' sweet enough to watch Rylee while I looked through the books..& he took this photo!


He also got me a subscription to one of my favorite magazines!


Happy Birthday Sweetheart.....I know how much you love this magazine and I thought it might give you some inspiration for your photography!  Love- Keith


So, I am another year older, blessed beyond meaure and have all I need!


P.S.- Thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes yesterday, I felt very loved.
