Fall-ing

We took a trip recently to Trolley Square Mall. I was not impressed, BUT they did have a pottery barn and a Pottery Barn Kids. I fell in love with the stores. Though I can't afford to buy anything, I love the decorating ideas and I got some GREAT ideas of projects I would love to make with Anthony! While we were there, I fell in love with the history of the building and the character it had. I have decided that it would be the PERFECT place to take photos and with the weather getting colder, they have the fireplace and fire pit lit which make great warm places to take photos.<



Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the colors and the sound of the leaves under my feet. I also love using the colors in photos! Alida makes a great subject to take photos of in ALL circumstances, but she was particularly precious playing in the leaves.





I think the ONE thing on my Christmas list this year is a nice new camera. Though I got one for our anniversary this year, it broke in less than 7 months due to a manufacturers defect and we can't get it replaced because we can't find the receipt and for some stupid reason Walmart doesn't keep receipts in their main system. We have to go to the EXACT store we got it at and we have to have EXACT details for them to fine it. ie- The exact date, time and register we got it at. We don't remember 2 out of the 3 details needed. Walmart is making it unnecessarily difficult to get my camera fixed. We are slowly realizing that our best option is to just get a new camera... from a different store, obviously. We're thinking Best Buy.

I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to the holidays. I LOVE Thanksgiving, but I am SO EXCiTED to take down the fall decor and put up the Christmas decorations! Anthony and I have a deal. I can put up all the minor decorations I want, but I can't hang up Christmas lights, play Christmas music OR put up the tree until 2 Saturdays before Christmas OR the 14th of December (whichever comes first.)
Until then, I love occupying myself with photography. It is quickly becoming my favorite hobby! Take a look at my photos on facebook. I'd LOVE to know if people think if I'm any good. :D

Until next time, see you later!
Love from,
Shari Anne
