But not to worry, the new year brings new beginnings and I, for one, would like to change a few things – one is to bring my camera with me everyday and to take some photos again – for myself.

Starting with today, I took the camera out, dusted it a little, and just started taking photos for myself. And here is the start of our day.

Breakfast.

TV

And more to come.

Once again. Welcome 2012! Have a great Monday!

Here she is just before the party!

Enjoy the rest of the week!

Today, I picked up my first ever film from the lab and yay, I got some photos back. LOL! It’s funny how that was a relief!

So here are some photos from my first random film shoot! First one is from my first ever slide. The first photo I’ve taken in East Perth.

Here are my beloved models from last year in Perth.

This one is from our last trip to the Pinnacles with some friends.

This one is at the Australia Zoo last January. A quick snap of the snake in the water.

And my favourite is my last slide. At the Midland Atelier last weekend!

Love the soft feel to the photos!

NOTE: None of these are edited in Photoshop except resize for web and added the white frame.

The weekend was fantastic. I have learned a lot and met a lot of like-minded photographers. We got to play with some lomography cameras and also went around Midland Atelier and got some photos of our own from our very own Holga camera!

I would like to give a shout out to FORM for organising the workshop. They are the best! So go to their website and unleash your creativity.

Here is the office of FORM in Midland.

I have been looking for just the right recipe for cupcakes and now I have found both for the butter cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes. They are so tasty that really I couldn’t help forgetting that we shouldn’t be eating too much sweet.

Here are some shots of my butter cupcakes topped with the yummy chocolate buttercream icing and sprinkled with shaved chocolate.

I will add some photos of of the kids with their dad as we celebrate with friends. Have a great Father’s Day!

While reading one of my favourite blogs this week, I come across a project that photographers are currently on where each week has a theme that they can interpret with their photos and share on their blog then tag another photographer. But since I am so late as they are already on week 35, I am adapting the idea to get myself into the shooting mode (for fun). I’ve been thinking of ways to get back into shooting that can just give me a little bit of boost to get my mojo back! So here is the idea.

Every friday, I will have a theme and will post a photo of my interpretation of that theme. And if you would like to join me, let me know in the comments section so I can add you to my daily blog visits.

I will start posting the photos next friday as it seems to be too late for today. But here are some photos of my little tara with her good friend the last time they had a play over at our house.

Aren’t girls just the cutest?

Have a great weekend everyone!

I will now be servicing the Swan Valley, with my office in Ellenbrook. I am looking forward to building new relationships with new clients in Ellenbrook.

My good friend has now asked me to help organise her daughter’s 18th birthday and I am so excited for it as we are planning a theme party. Next to baking, I love organising parties so this is going to be very exciting.

Here is a macaroon that I have tried making — not the usual macaroon that you see on masterchef but the macaroon I grew up eating especially at Christmas time!

Have a great week everyone! Stay Safe!

Today, as we celebrate one of his proudest days with ice cream filled with chocolate toppings and nuts and topped with fresh strawberries, I know that there will be more of these days as he grows older.

And he couldn’t be happier to celebrate it together with his best mate at school; the boy to his left.

Celebrate with me as we revel on the joy our kids bring to our lives. Have a joyful week!

As we get ready to go to the airport yesterday, I can’t help but think that waiting is hard to do but then again the rewards of spending the whole week together as a family is worth the wait every time. I got the car ready and took all the stuff that seem to pile up on the passenger’s seat. Grab grocery receipts, chiropractor’s letter, jumper, beanies and oh look a half eaten coffee lolly, looked around and decided to put them on top of the bench in the garage thinking I will sort it out later. We are running late and sure enough, just as we are nearing the airport, my phone rang. I answered it, put him on speaker and said we are 2 minutes away.

Just as we were going back home, I decided to go past Bunnings and grab a few flowers for the front garden. As much as I am not a gardener, I am enjoying the project and making my front house look fabulous. I just have to remember to water the plants.

We pulled in the parking at Bunnings, went in and was just in gardener’s paradise with all the new blooms and plants around. (I can act as if I am a great gardener every time I walk in garden centres). We decided for some yellow blooms and petunias to go on the front and some roses.

When we got back, I went out and put in the plants. As I look up, the sky began to darken and the wind picked up and blew a rather cold breeze. I hurried and finished the replanting and decided to go in but not before we take some photos of the kids’ strawberries that are starting to go red. Josh didn’t feel like being in the photo so I got my usual model showing off our first fruit from our garden.

And here is a close up of the plant that is causing such a visit to our back garden.

We hope you are having a great start to the week. We all are because our family is together!
