Spring Ahead!

Did you remember to turn your clocks forward an hour?  Even though we loose an hour of sleep, I love this time of the year....it means winter is behind us and the warm spring and summer are ever so much closer!

My new camera arrived last Monday.  I got a Nikon D3100.  This is my first SLR camera and I am so excited to get to know how to use it and start taking pictures!  I played around with it a bit this week, and got a couple of really nice shots...also got a lot of really bad shots!!!  I went to Best Buy yesterday and purchased a UV filter for this camera...saw a lot of write ups on the web about using one not only to make the photos crisper, but to protect the camera's lense.  So, I might have to get outside and snap a few shots using no filter and then using the filter, just to see what the difference is.

This week should be a wonderful week....temps in the high 60s for most of the week...not usual for March weather around here....but I am so looking forward to it...can't wait to get the flip flops on and let my feet breathe! lol

Today I hope to get some crafty stuff done.  Bought some things to make some new style bracelets and think I will work on jewelry.  I also started scrapping some photos, so I would like to finish those up too.

Here is a bracelet that I made...it is finished, but this picture shows it during the final stages of getting done.  Love the bracelet, but think that I would have preferred it to be thinner...maybe three rows.

 Here's a bracelet I just made a few weeks ago...love the colors and it was so simple to make...want to make more of these for sure!

Here's to a crafty day ahead....and a crafty WARM week ahead too!!!
