30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 17 - { On The Shelf }

:: Today's Photo Challenge :: { On The Shelf } I kind of cheated today and am using an image from a few days ago.
I took a picture of my section of the book shelf this morning, but found it rather boring.
I'd much rather share this shelf (technically the mantle) with you all.
It holds my treasured Polaroid SX-70, clover plant, and photographs of family.
The light dances on the mantle in the morning and evening, shining beautifully on those I hold dear.
My family, and my love for photography and nature.
I've kept a clover plant in my home for years now. It's a great plant for me. Very resilient. :)
:: Today's Gratitudes :: snuggling under the warm covers on this chilly morning, coffee in my beautiful cup, the anticipation of My Love coming home a bit early today, morning kisses from my children, and my family.

Another shot I like from my Polaroid SX-70.
Sure wish I could get my hands on some actual Polaroid 600 film...

First {good} Shot

My film for my "new" Polaroid SX-70 (mentioned in this post) arrived today!
After pouring over turorials on how to manipulate my camera to fit this particular film, I took a few shots.
This was my 3rd attempt...and I quite like it.

Scratch that...I LOVE it!
I will need to fiddle a little more with the camera and film to obtain better results, but I'm on my way...and SO excited!

My Girl painted the figurine I bought her. Isn't it cute? She is such an artist. Didn't go with just a couple colors...had to use them all!
After a few months of searching and reviewing lenses...I ordered one today! I have the most awesome hubby who gave me the green light. I'm so spoiled! Should be here next week! I can't wait to try it out!
Off to go do some homeschool with My Girl!
