A-Z: letter 'C'

I had two entries for letter 'C'...:P I really wanted to just submit a picture of my mini-Coca Cola collection.. but I wasn't too happy with my shots, hence the 2nd entry..;) hehe!! anyway...

Here's my first 'C' for Coca Cola (Collection). I love Coca Cola items!! I have a small collection, but most of them are back home in the Philippines. These miniature bottles in the picture is part of a set bought by my hubby for me from his trip to the World of Coca Cola last August in Atlanta...:)

My second 'C' is for Colors. These are just a couple of the coloring materials I have for my crafting: colored pencils & watercolors...:)

Thanks for looking!:)

A-Z: letter 'B'

As I mentioned in my previous post, hubby & I created a fan page in Facebook for a photography activity. This week, we're doing letter 'B'. And here is my entry:

B for Bold and Beautiful Birthday girl in Black & white..;) hehe! How's that for 'B'?..;)

She's my sister (and Best friend), Jasmin.. She has been asking me to take a picture of her in B&W for the longest time.. Finally, I was able to do it..:P and coincidentally, she celebrated her birthday last Tuesday too.. hehe!

Time for "Photos"

We sold my DSLR last year... and then I got hooked on scrapbooking...;) so the unavoidable ending.. neglected my photography and been doing a lot of "Scraps" post... and so for a change..

I am doing a "Photos" post this time.. hehe!

I used my hubby's camera on this one.. We started a photography activity on Facebook where we invited all our photographer friends to join in.. It's called 'A-Z Just For Fun' fan page. Every Monday (we started last Monday, May 3), we get a new letter.. And those who want to join should shoot a subject that starts with that letter.. ex. A for Apple, B for Boxing, etc.. Then post it on the Fan Photos..:) As the title says, it's just for fun.. no prizes to be won.. no winners..:)

This activity gave me the chance to shoot again..:) At the same time not take too much of my time, since it's a weekly activity.. and we just need to be able to take at least one picture per week/letter..;)

So obviously, we start with 'A' (duh!).. ehehe!! And here's my take:
