My sister, Nicole from Mermaid Tracks, has a musical guest post over at Ladaisi.
That’s all. I just wanted to let you all know.

My sister and her music…
P.s. I love these…
I pretty much love the Spin Pins from Goody! I bought them last week and they are super very awesome tubular. I have very slick and straight hair. So… to put my hair up it requires a TON of hair spray and a TON of bobby pins. Now I just put in like 3 spin pins and only need about 5 bobby pins to finish… as opposed to 30 pins.

Oh… I love you.
I am SO happy right now… my 50mm 1.4 lens arrived today (Thursday)!!! I snapped a few quick photos with it and it is AWESOME! I’m So excited… I just want to go and walk around the neighborhood and snap away… But, it’s raining. Maybe tomorrow? Hmm… I’ll just have to snap photos of the baby indoors instead! The best birthday present EVER!
The best birthday present EVER!First… I took a photo of the lens… I had to document the moment!
7{52}: Chair
Then I snapped a quick photo of Ruari… Look at how creamy the background is!
48{365}: Laureli.
Then, I tried out my new lens in the dim kitchen…
Lots of practice ahead with this lens.
AND, thanks to everyone that responded to the Paper Mama Blog Directory! I hope to have the first 20 up soon!
