I am so excited! One of the blogs that I follow, Moms with Cameras, was doing a contest the other day and the prize was a lightscoop and I WON! Moms with Cameras is a great blog full of useful info for everyone from a mom who just likes to take snapshots to professional photogo-mommies. You should really check it out.
Lightscoop is a nifty little product that I didn't even know about until I read about it on the blog and I can't wait to get it in the mail to test it out. It snaps on to your on-camera flash to bounce the flash off a wall or ceiling to create a more diffused and wider band of light for your subject. It's a nice alternative to lugging my large external flash around when I just want to take some fun snapshots.
I'll let you know how it works for me and post some pics as soon as I get it!
I took advantage of the lovely weather we are having today (I looooove North Carolina weather!!) and went to the Kernersville Botanical Garden . It was small but so pretty! I went with the goal to get some pics for the Photo Scavenger Hunt. That didn't really work out for me and I still have 7 more words/photographs to find (in 2 days!!)..but I did get some nice shots there anyway so it was worth the trip.




I am also very happy that I have finally completed my picture-frame needs. I have been searching everywhere for 5 picture frames to match 5 specific photographs of mine. Since I will think of any excuse in the world to stop by Marshalls and T.J. Maxx, I have been going there on a weekly basis in search of them (and getting myself a few pieces of clothing..necessities of course..in the process..). They usually have some great, unique and inexpensive frames but I could not find find the ones that I was looking for.
Finally, today I stopped by Homegoods and completed my collection and let me just tell you, I don't know what took me so long to go to such a fabulous store but now I am a little obsessed with Homegoods! It was so sparkly and pretty and clean and had every single knick-knack and decorating apparatus that you could possible think of. I NEED to go back there soon. I NEED to decorate my whole house with that store!!
Alright, that is my rant for the day, I hope you enjoyed the pictures! I will probably have new stuff up on Etsy within the next few days..so check back soon! And don't forget, if you are in the Winston-Salem area, you should definitely plan on stopping by the AFAS Festival downtown (6th & Trade) from 1-5 pm this Sunday. This is the last one of the season..it's been fun, see you there next May!
