My Birthday!

Hi Everyone,

So a few days ago it was my birthday *party popper* and I had a fantastic day, full of friends, family, and of course, presents! I got some wonderful things, including my new current obsession, my camera: A Canon EOS 1200D

Me with the camera (still working out how to focus...)

There are so many fantastic things you can do with this camera (don't assume that I know how to do them though...) And it has settings perfect for any type of photography. 

I have spent HOURS trying out all the fun features, and still not getting them right, but thats not what it's about. I'm having fun and that's what counts!

But here are the best photos I've taken with it so far:

Cousie!!!

It just shows: you don't have to be a professional photographer to get some beautiful photos.

Of course, it does help to have nice things to photograph...

very pretty

That's all for now, there will be many more to come!

Fairy Lights!

Hi everyone!

I hope your day has been FANTASTIC and not full of homework and last-minute report writing like mine has...

But there has been an upside to all this! To cheer me up,my mum bought me these gorgeous copper-wire string lights I have been wanting for so long:

As soon as I got the box open and the batteries in!

They are battery operated (3xAA) and just turn on/off with a little switch. I got 5 meters but they come in shorter/longer lengths too. They have other colours, but I loved the warm-white (basically off-white) because it works well in any room and looks very feminine.

As you can imagine, I played with them for about half and hour:

Another artistic selfie!

TOTORO!

And then got down to business: I wanted to put them up in my room, somewhere that would look magical and light up the whole room. I tried against the side wall but it looked a bit plain:

yeah, too boring

Then I pinned them up along the wall above my dresser and around my little bookshelf and they covered the whole corner! They really do look magical ( I have included a before and after shot!)

Before...

After!!!

They work really well and don't heat up very much (unless coiled, in that case they heat up a LOT...) and wouldn't be a fire risk unless you left them on overnight maybe. I don't plan on burning my house down, so I won't be leaving them unattended! You can buy these lights here at a very reasonable price:
