Successful diana mini half frame photos!

After I managed to break the first film that I tried using the half frame setting on my Diana Mini, I was a little anxious to try it again and despite the fact it took me ages to use up the whole film

(50 photos is alot when you are used to 24 )

I absolutely love it!!!

...and taking photos of Harry, especially ones on the beach is my favourite!

I can't wait to share more! 6 down, 40+ to go, ha!

A celebratory giveaway - Closed

400 followers!
I'm excited

I love having a good reason to celebrate on here!
Hurray and happy dances!

A massive thank you to everyone who reads my blog, whether I read yours or not, you pop over and comment or whether you just hang back and enjoy, thank you! You keep me inspired to keep posting random things, to keep taking photos and to keep trying to stay positive and not let negative aspects of my life bother me too much. This giveaway is for you!

I'm hugely excited that Megan has once again offered to help me celebrate with her amazing work - I think I can safely say we've both come a long way since last August when we first worked together.

As well as being a talented photographer and a great blogger showcasing amazing etsy work, the processes of her work and snippets of her life, Megan is an amazing illustrator focusing on fairy tales and victorian ink work. I am still completely smitten with everything that she does.

So you can win... A 5x7 print of your choicefrom Studio MME

It's nearly the weekend!

Me and my Dad's feet from our mini holiday in April - I wish I was seeing on him Sunday for Father's Day, I miss him, but we did get him an amazing present and I'll see him soon, so its ok.

Tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut (finally) and going for lunch and shopping with one of my favourite girls... I can not wait.

I've just got to get through today first.

Happy weekend!

p.s. the photoswap will be closing later today, so if you want to take part now is your chance - I have an odd number of people!

p.p.s. Can you see his Mr Men socks? Ha, love it!

Imagine this is a compelling blog post title...

Sorry for the unplanned blog disappearance but I got pretty sick over the weekend rather than just being under the weather... I'm back to work today but honestly, I'm still exhausted. This year has finally caught up with me and I'm worn out... I probably shouldn't have tried to fight it so hard all year last week... I think it hit me harder because of it.

We have so much coming up as well for the rest of the year and just thinking about it makes me even more tired - I'm really looking forward to it but right now I need some sleep and a cup of tea, preferably with a giant cookie, with chocolate chips or maybe even some cake. Cake would be good.

Anyway, I'm so behind on everything now - work, blog reading, photoswap emails, finishing that roll of film in my diana mini (taking double the photos with the half frame is actually quite challenging when you're only used to 24 photos...) so if I'm not around your blogs much, its because I'm still catching up (or I'm asleep...)

p.s. Hi to my latest followers, I have no idea where you've come from but 399 is pretty ridiculous/amazing/overwhelming/fantastic/exciting, I hope I don't disappoint when I'm feeling better, eep!I better start planning a major thank you giveaway for you all :) exciting!
