Meet Audrey

The newest member of our little family... my new toy... Miss Audrey Camerasmith. =D


She arrived yesterday & I had school last night so haven't had a real chance to play around with her - bring on the weekend!

Thank you again Mr Krudd. =D

Busy, busy, busy!

I can't believe it's March already! I've done so much this year which I guess is why it's going so fast - time flies when you're having fun!

So far this year I've:

• Been to Perth
• Moved house
• Moved office
• Been to 4 fringe festival shows
• Celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary
• Been to the Adelaide cup

I'm also in the process of completing 'Introduction to the Studio' as part of my photography course & researching building a house, not to mention work! Phew! No wonder I'm tired! I'm ready for a holiday!!

Our anniversary was nice but I'm kicking myself for not organising something special. It was just so hard with going to the races yesterday & Terry going away next weekend... not much money left over to do anything. I should've organised a picnic or something that didn't cost much. Oh well, there's always next year! We did go out for tea at what used to be our favourite restaurant... but they've changed owners (& chefs!) since we were last there! We waited an hour and a half for our meals and mine was gross and nothing like it used to be! At least we have an excuse to visit new restaurants now so we can find a new favourite!

Next weekend Terry's going to Geelong with the boys to an airshow and I'm going to see a band with a girlfriend and. I can't wait! I think I'll spend the rest of the weekend sleeping and baking and reading! Bliss!

I'm so glad we moved into this house when we did! It's soo easy to keep reasonably coolish - unlike the oven we used to live in! Lucky I like the heat because boy has it been hot! I even got 2 afternoons off work alst week because our air con died on one of the 44 degree days we had! =(

The new place is coming along nicely... I wish I could say we're completely unpacked but truth be told, we're far from it! I try to do a bit every night and on weekends but living with 2 boys, it's hard enough trying to keep the place clean, let alone unpack at the same time! I figure the less there is unpacked, the less they have to mess up! I feel a roster may be in order! I'll post some more photo's of the place with our furniture in when (or if!) I ever get the place finished!

I start school again tomorrow night. I actually drove there last Wednesday night because I thought it started last week! Silly me! I'm really looking forward to it but I'm also fairly nervous because it's a very hands on subject with lots of practical work... living on the other side of the city to school will makes things a lot harder too. But anyway, stay tuned for more of my work in the coming weeks!

New Year, New Beginning

I'm going to try to write on here more often this year... we'll see how successful that plan turns out to be!

There's a lot going on in my life at the moment... All good, positive changes.

Firstly, we're moving tomorrow! Into an amazingly beautiful house with cooling AND heating and a dishwasher! It's so amazing I can hardly believe it!

Secondly, my little brother Josh has moved in with us... it's been 7 days and so far it's going well. The novelty hasn't worn off yet and we're enjoying each other's company. He's got himself a job already! I'm so proud of him!

Thirdly, we're most likely moving our office soon! Not too far away, just down the road. We're downsizing because the space we have here is ridiculous for the 3 of us and downsizing means less rent which means I get my payrise! Yay!! Suddenly our dreams of going to Europe or buying a house seem a little more realistic!

And lastly, I'm about to start term 4 of my photography course which means I'm almost half way through! I can't believe how fast it's gone! I'm going to work so hard at it this year and try to develop my own style and not experiment with a million different ones like I have been.

Happy New Year everyone!

I did some experimenting with macro using a magnifying glass on the weekend. Some worked, some didn't. I think I'm going to invest in some close up filters - will make life much easier!

My wonderful Grandparents!

This was taken last Wednesday when I visited Nan & Pardy. I miss them so much & wish I could see them more often!

This is one of the rides at the show. I sepia toned the print to give it an older look. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
