I know what I'm getting for Christmas!!!!

And it's so not fair!!! See.....................I *LOVE* surprises. I enjoy giving people a list of ideas so long, I will have no idea what I'm going to get. But this year, no surprise:(

I finally went to the local camera store to talk with someone about my lense situation. This is after doing research on the net, which only further confused me. The lady was so nice & helpful and I left knowing what lense I wanted, but for the price, knew I wasn't going to get!! So, for now, I settled for the 60 mm f/2.8 Macro USM, along with a Speedlite 430EX flash.

Since dh is so not in the Christmas spirit this year, he made ME pull this information up on the computer, put them in the shopping cart & then he finished the transaction. "Should I wrap it for you too honey?"

I know it sounds like I'm complaining and really I'm not. I'm excited about my new camera equipment & have a few other camera related items I need now, such as a new camera bag & "Digital SLR Cameras & Photography for Dummies." Pretty appropriate hu? I just really, really, really *LOVE* surprises.....................*sigh.*

I'm still making some holiday crafts. I got the idea for this tree while getting ready one morning (though I'm sure someone else has already thunk it). It didn't take me too long to do.....maybe 30 minutes......tops. So, super easy. I wanted to do the snow because we don't get snow in FL, not to mention it's been in the upper 70's this entire week. I'm also working on a present wreath that I'm thinking of giving to my sister? We'll see how it turns out, but so far so good & I'll post a picture when I'm finished.

Here's hoping you have a wonderful, blessed Thursday.
