I guess I should have been watching for the big brown truck instead of haunting the mail box because soon after I posted yesterday's entry, the UPS guy delivered the camera.
It's pretty nice, not at all pricey, but one thing I didn't realize is that it is very much like The Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.
If it only had a brain....
It will only hold 5 pictures in it's internal memory. So I have to go buy some more brain at Wal-Mart. But not today. I'm not budging from my house today. No way.
I've seen enough car butts for one week thank you very much!
So here is my new journal:
[album 65561 Journal First.JPG]
I bought a quite inexpensive Journal Refill from Barnes and Noble that just has a cardboard cover. I sewed a cloth cover and gave it a pocket. I also found some cunning little wooden clothespins made by Paperchase to hold papers with. I stuffed the cloth pockets inside with envelopes and stamps and stickers and even a little plastic bag with some brads in it [which may be overkill] but I wanted to be able to affix oddments of this and that's that I might find in my travels.
Here's the opening page:

I have not figured out this camera just yet. I'm experimenting with the close up feature, and what not. It will take a while for us to bond I am sure. And it will take longer than usual since it will only keep five pictures at a time. I keep having to dump them to practice with it.
Anyway, it's here and we will see what we can come up with in the next few days.
I had an existential revelation though when I was installing the software for said low brain capacity camera. I'll tell you about it later.
Right now, I have a list of things to do today that is so long, it would make the feathers on Red's neck stand on end.
And she's nowhere to be found.
(Does this surprise you in any way??? The little fussbudget is probably harassing some other poor soul down the street right now....)
