Dianas

Last year I got a Diana F+ for Christmas. I was excited. I went through a roll of film and hurried to get it developed. When I got the pictures I was so disappointed. Most of them didn't turn out at all and it cost about $25 to develop the roll! So, I put aside my Diana camera for a while. But I've been inspired by Taza and her husband to pick it back up again. They are really into photography and take some great pictures. So I'm going to get back on the bike and try again!

These are the best photos from my first roll. They're really not that bad.

I think you really have to use the Diana outside or in a really well lit inside space. I also need to learn the correct settings and study the user manual a bit. I did take a roll this summer on the beach which I will develop and share!

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dad's birthday. My Dad is the funniest and most supportive dad. I hope your day is a great one!

Someone's not ready for Christmas to be over.

OK, I guess we can leave the tree up for a few more days.

Edit: sorry for the back to back cat posts. I just can't resist a cute picture of a cat!

I like this picture.

Eric's cat (who lives at his Mom's house) Lilly (who is a boy).

Is anyone one else taking down Christmas this weekend? I guess I am. If I have to. I'm going to miss those twinkling lights.

I hope you do something fun this weekend!

sad

I got a pretty card from a friend today on Gwen Frostic stationary (thanks Sarah!). But I was sad to learn a few weeks ago that the Gwen Frostic press and shop has been shut down by their bank. Gwen Frostic has been a stationary staple in our house for so many years and the studio and shop were an amazing place to visit in northern Michigan.

We thought about using Gwen Frostic stationary for our wedding invitations...I guess it's a good thing we opted not to.

The Bean

My brother and his girlfriend were in town with us this past weekend so we played tourist on Saturday. Despite temperatures in the single digits, we braved the cold and walked around town and Millennium Park.

Kelly Wearstler for Pickard

I've never really thought about china before, having it, or wanting it. But this china designed by Kelly Wearstler is amazing.
