Cooking up a Storm!

Today I got to be a TV star with my Tupper-friend Kate :D We were the studio contestants on Ready Steady Cook (Channel 10), and we had a blast! Our chefs were amazing, the food was *drooool* incredible, and the whole experience was so much fun it should be illegal LOL. Not sure when our episode goes to air, but it will be next year. I was on the Tomato team (because of my love for all things red), and Kate was Capsicums. I'm not giving away the winner, but it was very close ... only 1 vote in it!

Too Cute!

A couple of weeks ago some of the local ducks showed up with 10 gorgeous little ducklings. I kept thinking I should take some photos of them, and I'm really glad I did, because they moved to another part of the creek the day after I took these.

It's All In The Family!

I bought this gorgeous set from my good friend and Stampin' Up demonstrator, Karen Oliver. This set is being sold to raise money for the family of a wonderful man who passed away too soon. You can see all the details at Karen's blog ... there's a link on the right. As soon as I got it I couldn't resist playing, and I've stamped my representation of my family, and my sister's. It's really fun, and I got to use my Stamp-a-ma-jig too. My 6yo dd also played, and even without the stamp-a-ma-jig, she got some great results. She stamped her favourite people, and spent ages colouring them carefully. I coloured in carefully too ... hardly went outside the lines! LOL

Another day ... another wedding!

Just a few of my favourites from the wedding I shot today. I really like working with laid-back brides, and despite being a casual type of wedding, it was a very special day. I felt honoured to share the day with this family.

Playing in the Urban Jungle!

So ... I have this wedding to photograph on Saturday, and it's in the middle of a light industrial area. I took the girls down there this afternoon in their best party dresses to see if formal could indeed look good in an urban setting. Guess what ... it does! Then I added some very cool actions to grunge the photos up a bit more. Now I'm just hoping it's nice and overcast instead of glaring sun or pouring rain. Cross everything for me ... please!
