You guys, my cunning fox of a husband has outwitted me once again and I can’t even be mad at him this time. This past Christmas, Charles gifted me with a tripod and remote control for my camera. And you know what that means, right? It means that Charles is officially a free man… Free from me nagging him to take pictures of me all the time because “I can now take pictures of myself, BY myself.” So much for having a blogger boyfriend husband ;)
I got my first chance to play around with my tripod and remote control last week with our first snow day of 2015. We woke up last Tuesday to a winter wonderland and a text message from our job’s alert system saying that offices had been closed for the day! My first thought was to go back to sleep but then I remembered I was supposed to work on taking more opportunities to get out and shoot with my camera. So of course, I roll over in bed and say to Charles, “Babe. Want to go out and play in the snow with me?” which is pretty much code talk for “Want to go outside and take pictures of me?” Charles didn’t miss a beat and responded with, “Nope. That’s what I got your tripod and remote for. Go play with them in the snow.” He then rolled over and promptly went back to sleep haha. So out into the snow I went…
On another note, I’m sure you can see things are looking a little different here on Quaintrelle! I felt that with the new year, it was time for a little design makeover to mark the occasion. A big thank you to Phil over at Pipdig for helping me customize one of their pre-made blog designs to my liking. I kept my favorite elements of the previous design and took a more subtle approach in how they are incorporated into this new design. For lack of a better word, the whole look feels more… Mature? You know, same blog. Just more grown up, if that makes any sense. I still have my “about” & “advertise/pr” pages to update and a few cosmetic edits to make but in the meantime, feel free to click around and let me know what you think! Happy, Happy Hump Day! :)
