not a photo pro

twenty years ago I mentioned that I was getting an instax mini for myself for christmas. but then the seller turned out to be a crook (boo!) and I never got it.

but then some while ago I found a deal on this baby

and then right after I found another one on this

sadly I haven't had the chance to try out the instax 200 yet (because the price of that film makes me go what the fudge??? ...I'm poor)

but I have had some experiments with the instax mini one

like I said Darling really likes that rug (:

these are from my friends birthday party a couple weeks ago. the theme was superheros. unfortunately there isn't any pictures of me (that I would care to share...) but I went as Storm from the X-Men.

yes, I'm a geek at heart.

playing the wii dance game. note the cool catwoman and lady gaga costumes



obviously I still got a lot to learn about taking pictures with these instax cameras. the fact that the eye hole doesn't really do anything still throws me off a lot. so I really strugle with the aiming. but other then that I love it! there's just something magical about instant film

{if you have any tips or suggestions how to work with the instax cameras I would love to hear them!}

gift yourself

Guys, it's December! I am so excited I want to punch someone. Or pee my pants. Or whatever other weird expression I could use.

Man, I have waited this for so long now. Ever since August I've secretly been singing Christmas carols. And mind you, not the good ones {Hannah Montana} yeah...
Anywho! Here in Finland, we don't have a holiday season. It's pretty much just Christmas and Easter. So we like to go and do a big deal about them. Also, since Santa IS from Finland {we are kind of cool} Christmas is sort of our thing.

This Christmas will be a bit different though.

1. I'm living alone for the first time.
2. I have no money. So minimal decorations.
3. I have to work on both Christmas Eve and Day {boo}

But I'm still super stoked


Mostly because of this
