Merry Christmas!!

(My ornament from Micaela's swap sent by Anna! I love it!)

Yeay, it is finally the Christmas holidays! I'm so excited about getting to spend it with my family!!

I've decided to take a mini blog break over the holiday - I probably won't have the time to blog anyway but I definitely been feeling overwhelmed by everything this month and I think a break would do me and my little blog some good (though I may post occasionally - I doubt I'll be able to stop myself!)

So hopefully come the New Year I should be refreshed, overexcited from too many sweets and surprises and ready to take on everything and anything!

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas

and a Happy New Year

As an extra treat for Christmas you can enter a giveaway of one of my prints here - good luck!!

Oh and the winner of this weeks final christmas giveaway is: Shokoofeh

Well done, I'll email you my lovely!

Happy Holidays!

A fisheye Christmas...

These photos were all taken on my phone with the fisheye lens held in front of it - what do you think? Not amazing but still sooooo much fun :)

We started our Christmas celebrations last weekend watching some Carol Singers in Kirstall Abbey - it was the perfect location - just a shame none of us could feel our toes afterwards!

We then wandered about the Abbey for a bit drinking Mulled wine and taking photos (of course)

And then we had an amazing christmas dinner with our friends and we made Yule Log - I can happily admit that it was delicious!

I can not wait for the next few days!

p.s. Check out the latest featured blogger on Diamond in the Rough - I love her!

p.p.s. Don't forget about the last Christmas giveaway! The winner is announced tomorrow!

Fisheye Lens + Snow!!

This was the fastest roll of film that I've taken with Helga (the Holga) and it was so much fun - I was definitely snap happy.

I think the best part about the lens is that it is so easy to put on and take off - half the film I took without using it and the other half I just popped it back on! Also you can take one exposure with it on and one without - check out the difference in my feet!

Best gift I've brought for myself ever!!

(Oh and I can use it in front of my phone camera and my friends could use it in front of their little digi cameras too - needless to say we all had too much fun!)

On the fourth week of Christmas... giveaway - Closed!

Here we are - the week of Christmas - hasn't time flown by? I am beyond excited about Christmas now (though slightly worried we may get stuck in Leeds due to snow and ice, boo!)
