This is going to be quick....

29 December 2006

That Mardi girl is a bad blogger!! .... I feel so out of touch...I havent visited and caught up for weeks it feels...but Im slowly working my way around everyone ...so Im awfully sorry...life just gets too jolly busy.

...well we have a weddng in the family tomorrow....Ians sister is getting married.....we have Ians family staying with us , his parents arrived yesterday and his sister and family arrive today or in the morning....I guess I should check.

...I am to be the official photographer..... I must admit Im a little nervous....Im by no means an expert.... so Ill definatly be trying hard.

....Im also the maker of mini-quiches and pin wheels.....Im supposed to be cooking them now.....but any excuse to avoid stepping into the kitchen ..... and my excuse is Briony has biscuits in the oven at the moment. I love helping out for the wedding...but beleive it or not...Im not fussed on cooking....so Ill be gald when they are made and Im cleaned up again...lol

..... I havent shared the little mini-books that I created for christmas gifts..... I filled them with favourite photos from 2006...and I made three in total.....they took forever to make.....and I was so happy that both Mothers and my Grandmother were happy with them....




Well.... the biscuits are out of the oven...so it looks like my excuse has tun out ...I better get these goodies made.......

wish me luck with the photography tomorrow.....any tips would be appreciated...if you have taken wedding shots before and something worked particularly well.... let me know....otherwise just send 'camera dont fail' vibes...lol

ooohh...and just lastly...and how could I forget ....my darling Ian has suggested I can go to the 'Creative Edge' in Adelaide in January...... so I have booked in to a couple of classes......and hopefully there will be no hiccups. I know the Scrapbook Station is closed at the moment....so I cant confirm if my classes are ok, but fingers crossed.......Ill be crying if I miss out.

Have a great weekend everybody....

Mardi xx

  1. good luck with the photography...my tip is...make sure you get the 'candid' shots too....not all staged...
    I LOVE my candid photos MORE than my formal ones

    Lovely little albums, Mardi. Cute little flowers.

    Good luck with the photography tomorrow. I'm sure you'll take beatiful photos.

    Cool that you can get to Creative Edge. I'm doing a class too. Wouldn't it be great if we were both at the same one?

    Hey don't beat ur self up over not getting around to blog's I think it's goes without saying that xmas is busy!

    Hope the wedding went well & just to let u know...I wanted more candid shots(like Fleur said) but only got formal "posy" ones....just ask them what they want.
