My New Polariod Camera!!!!

I got a Polaroid camera!!!

I had recently gotten some gift cards and because I have yearned for this little camera for some time decided it was time.

The first packet of film was gone within the first hour of getting it, so heady my happiness was over it. It's little bubbly cuteness makes me smile. I am already planning a little crocheted cover for it...

(The first picture above is my sweet kitty Sheila's whiskers, the next is when I forgot to change the setting from indoors to outdoors while taking a photo of some sunflowers, and the last is me and Sheila!)

This is a Fuji Instax Mini Camera 7s. It's pictures are smaller than the older Polaroid we used to have, but that just makes it all the more cute! :)
(The first one below is my sister Jessica of Jessica Leigh La Lou, the next is Kaitlyn of My Baloney, and the third is my mom of Maria's Secret Garden.)
We had just gotten back from Garner State Park and were all looking a little tired, so probably not the best time to take portraits of everyone in my family but I couldn't help it!

The best thing about this camera is that it is instant joy, with just the click of the button, and viola! A new photo!

( The first one below is Sheila, my brother Michael, and Schatzi. I actually took two pictures of Sheila but the first one she moved and all I got were her whiskers, which seem rather ghostly.)

Here they all are lined up in all their Polaroid wonder :)

Here's a little song to brighten your day!

XOXO, Callie

I can't think of a proper name for this post...

Somethings I saw this week...

THE SUN!!

Finally!

It seemed like it was forever since it was a sunny day and lo and behold yesterday it was :),

Plants starting to bloom,

Schatzi's quizzical face,

Werner mooching it up,

Ranger looking at me with his amber eyes,

A random succulent plant growing in our yard,

A dragon snoozing in the leaves,

A gargoyle with a slight nose injury playing hide and go seek,

And here they all are, all the gargoyles that is, watching me take photos. What did you all see this week?

Have a happy Friday!

XOXO, Callie

Little bits of my life

This week is going by really fast, so here is a quick run-through of some things I saw so far...

(in photos)

Sunflowers in our living room, which are my ultimate favorite flower.

The first sign of spring?!

Schatzi, trying to nap, but reluctantly letting me photograph her again.
And little Ranger, looking too cute for words :0)

How is your week going?

I'm on Diamond in the Rough today!!

Hello everyone!

I am so excited to announce that I am on Diamond in the Rough today!! I would really like to thank Rhianne for asking me to contribute. It made me so happy to be a part of it, so once again thanks Rhianne.

Above is another one of my newest drawings which I used in my post, feel free to stop by and see them! Click! Click!

I just couldn't bear to not share you some pictures of Schatzi and Sheila 'helping' me make my bed :)

Schatzi is such a silly dog. She always makes this face when I try to take a picture...

Sheila tried to hide in my sheets as per usual and wouldn't come out for a good while, not only that but when I tried to get her out she attacked!

I still love her though, and I think she thought she was some wild cat out in the forest or something...who knows? One can never really tell with cats.

Can you see how well she was at blending in?

Afternoon Delights

"The earth laughs in flowers"- Ralph Waldo Emerson

My mom bought gave me these carnations which have been sitting on my bedside table for the past week and are just now dying. I love fresh flowers so much. They brighten my day just by looking at them. I know a lot of people who look down on these flowers as being boring but I love them :)

They are ruffled little beauties to me...

My bed seems happier with my tree pillow from Little T Jane :)

...until Schatzi decided to take a nap on it.

I recently bought a new little Japanese juniper bonsai, complete with a little elderly fisherman.

Sheila likes to snooze in this corner of my room. She looks so cute like this!

Here is a photo of my in table complete with flowers and all.

I have been listening to this song quite frequently lately. I really like to listen to Jason Aldean and actually went to go see him in concert last Rodeo. Enjoy!

XOXO, Callie
