13 months and some babbling

Babbling from me...not the baby! Read on...
I'm a few days late, but here is the 13-month picture with Monkey.

Barrett started getting a runny nose on Thursday morning, so as you can tell, he wasn't too thrilled about being photographed! Happy 13 months, Little Bear...get well soon!

I'm in a picture funk lately! After having my sister-in-law's camera a few weeks ago, I don't really have the passion to pick up my Cyber-shot. My husband will be mad at me for saying that :) He tells me that our camera is nice and kindly reminds me that when we bought it, I loved it and was happy with it! I know, honey! It's a great camera and I'm glad we've had it to document the first year of Barrett's life. It's awesome to have a little camera that I can carry around in my purse at all times...but I'm excited about getting a SLR! I'm saving up and hope to get it in the next month or two! My amazing friend, Bethany, is ready to upgrade her lenses, so she's giving me a great deal on her kit lens and a 50mm {1.8}. She's a budding photographer and knows a lot more than I do about it, so she's been great at helping me figure out what I need. She's a super creative girl and she's going to start doing blog design...go check out her blog if you're interested in a face lift!

I've also been scoping out camera straps! There is some cute stuff out there! I can't decide if I want a strap cover or the fabric stitched right on the strap. Anyone that has one want to share your opinion on that? Here are a few of my favorites from Etsy...

After a trip to Hobby Lobby last night, my creative juices are flowing. I needed to pick-up some paper for a few wedding invitation clients and I wanted to look at fabric. I found this classic apple green fabric, and am hoping to use it as a backdrop for a future photo shoot!

I also fell in love with this damask paper.

I have no idea what I'll be using it for, but I just had to have it. A trip to Hobby Lobby or Michael's is never complete without some new ribbon...so I was glad to find some I can use on invites. Now off to see if I can be productive!
