Upsidownosis: happy new year!!

Wow! 2012 already?? I know I'm not the first one you've heard say "where did 2011 go?" but I really mean it! Where did it go? I guess when you're chasing around 3 kids, time just flies by quickly! I've been looking for the brake pedal to stop time all year but can't seem find it. At last, we are looking at a new year and a chance to make some adjustments. I feel bad that this blog has taken a back seat to life, but it had to. One of my New Year's resolution is to post more often to my blogs (this one and my Capture Me Photography blog click here ). I don't think this year will be any slower for us here in the Pawlaczyk house. I will just have to "schedule" some blog time on the calendar to make it happen. Where else will I find the info I need when I actually do get back to scrapbooking? Exactly... hopefully nice and neatly kept here on upsidownosis.

We spent our New Year's Weekend in Dallas, TX... actually Addison, TX. It was a gorgeous 75 degrees there on New Year's Eve so we were able to find a fun park for the kids to play at in the afternoon... after we hit up Perani's hockey store and 3 Costco's! Felt good to be back in some familiar surroundings! :)

If you've been following me on facebook, you know that I got a new little point-n-shoot camera for Christmas from Steve. It's small enough to stay in my purse full time and give me better pics than my blackberry could ever dream of capturing! It's not a replacement at all for my dSLR, but at least I can take some decent pictures with this new camera and not have to take the big camera everywhere.

I will sign-off with some straight-out-of-the-camera or SOOC pictures from my new little Canon Elph taken on New Years Eve. It's decent in low light and fun to use in fish-eye mode... certainly not the clarity of my 7D but all in all not bad. I plan on doing some before and after pics soon on my photography blog as well as other tips, tricks, and inspiration... so stop back again soon! :)

with my fisheye mode -
