New camera

one of the first pictures from my new camera!!!



I've been drooling over the Panasonic GF1 since before it came out last september.  I can't believe I actually have it!  Now to learn how to use it... I see lots of picture taking in my near future.

Wow, I love Kale's eyes. Congratulations on your new camera!

The book picture frame wasn't too hard to do. Really, Julie, if I can do it, I'm sure you can. :)

1) Get a cheap hard-cover book from some thrift store. (Mine was a math book. It was only $1.00.)
2) Use an X-Acto knife to cut the cover. My cover was kind of thick, so this took a little while.
3) If you want the "matted" look, there are a couple of options.
a) Cut the first page in the book to use as a border for your picture and glue it to the front cover.
b) Cut a "frame" out of any kind of blank paper and burn the inside edges to get the old look. Glue or tape this paper inside the front cover. (This is what I did. It took me a couple of tries to get it just right.)
4) Glue or tape your picture behind the page.

I hope that made sense. Let me know if you have any questions.
