Almost New Year's Resolutions

Flickr user Montanaro Maurizio™ gives me inspiration for a New Years resolution. We have a giant stuffed Carebear that I was plnning on taking a picture of beside my son Malachy every month for his first year. It lasted a few months, now I just pull it out every now and then. Along the same line, I want to get a small PVC Smurf to take with us whenever we go on a trip or vacation. Then I can do like Montanaro Maurizio™ and take pictures of the Smurf at the different places. I think it is a good idea, because it will be nice to see the little guy visiting, and great pictures for my scrapbook. But it will also let me experiment with macro and different ways of shooting perspective.
I was planning on posting a picture of one of my Christmas presents today, but my stupid cable is missing, so all of my Christmas pictures are trapped in my camera, with no way of getting them out.

Better Than Baseball Cards

I bought these Topps cards off ebay. I bought 2 packs, but only got one. They are supposed to be shipping me the other. The plan was to keep one pack unopened. There are a few sellers on etsy that are using them to make things like here, and here. I am going to scan all the cards so I can use the images. I'm not sure yet what I will use them for, but I'll figure something out.

Coin Purses

Rainbow Brite Coin Purse


Smurf Coin Purse


I bought these from Etsy user kraftyminds. She also makes beautiful purses, that I am trying to get someone to buy me for Christmas. They are made from upcycled bed sheets from the 80s. I am adding a few sheets to my personal collection.
