What did Santa Bring

Well.....what did Santa bring?.......there were some great suggestions....A COFFEE MAKER...TIM HOLTZ WRAPPED UP IN A BIG BOW...A NEW LAPTOP..but the majority of folks thought it was the CUTTLEBUG....oh dear I well and truly confused you all  but believe me it wasn't intentional....you all obviously picked up on the recent cards I made with the Cuttlebug Embossing Folders....put 2 and 2 together and came up with 5....but NO....that wasn't my Santa pressie.....I bought that away...away back in the summer and shame on me I haven't really had time to play with it until now. And I really enjoyed reading what you all got from Santa......lucky people.

OK I will put you all out of your misery.....this is the baby I have been "EYEING" up for quite some time.




Nikon D60 Digital SLR Camera
OK it's not a craft item
but without it there would be no piccies on the blog
no DT work uploaded so for me
it really is a CRAFTING NECESSITY
and
these are the folks who were spot on
and said it was a camera.....well done

ALISON......JEN.......PAULA
Now the names went in the hat and the
winner is.....

Congratulations...if you e-mail me with your address
I will get your goodie box of alphabets off in the post to you.
And as always....all the names are now in the Big Blog Candy Bowl to be carried forward
to the BIG ONE.

I have been hankering over this camera for some time but being a THRIFTY Scottish lass...just couldn't justify spending that kind of dosh when I have a perfectly good digital camera.....but if it's Santa's dosh....well that's a different story and I LUVS YOU SANTA.     It has so many functions that I am totally confused by them all and am still working it in AUTO MODE....where the camera does all the thinking for you or is it NUMPTIE MODE....let me tell you I haven't got past the NUMPTIE section of the manual....ye gods it's the size of War and Peace and is a tad heavy going as bedtime reading.  I am not a "read the instructions" kinda girl.......so I am just going to play around with it and hope for the best...if that doesn't work....then it's back to the manual.  So don 't expect to see fabulous professional looking pics just yet.
And just had to share this with you....this was the sky this morning at 7.00am.....isn't it gorgeous but hey it looks a tad angry to me.....does this mean we are in for stormy weather.

And talking of weather......I have steam comin' outta my ears....will tell all tomorrow.
