Ok…so first up…a royal kick in my butt!!!! I’m a horrid host!! JUST horrible! Over at The Digi Shoppe I started The Backstage Pass Challenge, a challenge all about your camera and pictures!!! This month I started out with playing with Shutter Speed, and no if you don’t have a manual camera you aren’t out of luck! For you point and shooter camera guys all you have to do is play with your sports setting for quick shutter speeds, and night setting for SLOW shutter speeds… IF you head over to the challenge I put up some interesting links for info on the subject! And here we are over half way through the month!! Take those pictures! Get them scrapped and leave us a link!!! There are shoppe points to those of you that participate!! I wanna see you playing with that setting and see what you can come up with!!! And keep in mind…This will be a monthly thing so come join us!! Anytime!!!
I also nudge all you Bloggers out there with my Hot off The Press for the day! And today’s nudge was to talk about your collections (non scrap related) I know that was a horrible little rule to throw in there, I mean we are all scrap addicts and I don’t know about you but my collection of supplies is growing WAY faster than I can scrap!! Ohhh, I’m breaking my own rule…
My real collection…hmmm..would have to be a toss up…Frogs and Horses…Horses were my first love so I’ll tackle that…I started riding when I was really young! I even have a video of me at my first Dressage show… I think I was like 4 or 5 maybe..mom can correct me on that, I’m sure she remembers!! I just know I was on a Monstrous horse and my little legs didn’t even come 1/4 of the way down the side of the horse’s tummy!!! tooooo funny!! This little speck up there trying to do my show! Well needless to say we exited the ring way more times than you are supposed to at the totally WRONG parts of the ring but I finished and yes the wonderful mommy has a video..hmmm….wonder if I could get it up here for kicks…gotta give that a try!!! it is just toooo funny!! (I’ll update the post if I can figure it out!!) Well that was my beginnings! And I’m hooked….hooked enough to not only own snowglobes, figures, jewelry, pictures…I even worked at a horse farm for a bit!! I have several of Nene Thomas’s prints such as this one:
Click on the preview to check out her other work (it isn’t all horses! She does some amazing fantasy stuff!)
This is one of a series she was doing, one for each month…and I have all of them so far!! :):) The detail is wonderful!! Now of course all my little nick knacks are (much to my husband’s disappointment) sitting in boxes in HIS garage!! I have sooo many I don’t have enough shelves to display them all!!! And of course not only do I have the year round nick knacks I even have horse ornaments!! Yep…told you addict!! I’ll snap some pics of those at Christmas so you’ll have to wait on those!!
On life…really short and sweet…PAINT!! I’m living eating and breathing PAINT!!! Ok..so I’m throwing in some scrapping here and there but we do have a house that has to be DONE in TWO WEEKS!!! So paint I will!!! :):) Off to get some work done ya’ll!! See ya round.
