**This picture is dedicated to Val : ) **
This beautiful camera (Nikon D60) was my birthday present from my wonderful husband! It’s what I asked for, but apparently I didn’t think I was ACTUALLY going to get it because I was still really surprised. I’m having lots of fun playing with it. I’ve taken a couple of pictures that I’m happy with. I’m sure pictures will be even more great once I figure out what all the settings and buttons and dials mean, lol : )
I think clicking on them enlarges them and the detail is better.
These pictures above are of the flowers Jer bought me for my birthday. Aren’t the colors just stunning? And the thing that makes me really happy…my new camera actually picks up the colors. The richness and depth of them. I LOVE IT!!! Now I won’t have time to blog because I’m going to be too busy figuring my camera out and playing with it. : )
I’m working on a post right now about my awesome birthday party…lots of pictures in that one (unfortunately none with my new camera as I only got it AT my party).
Then of course there’s a whole long post or two about my trip. So much to write so little time. Okay. I should probably go get busy on some of it.
***Edited to add…
This is the new camera strap I ordered off Etsy from this shop.
Isn’t it darling?

Happy belated birthday. Thanx for supplying the instyle site again. I found another site which unfortunately was a pay site and so I couldn’t try the style on but I did take a picture to the hairdresser so she could cut my long locks.
I’ve posted pictures on my blog.
Oh and I love the camera strap!!!

Erin,
I love it!!!!!! And I never knew what camera till I came here because you never told me WHAT camera. Phew. So glad to know it’s a Nikon. Teehee… Just kidding. Or am I? 
:) I definitely want to help you with it. Let’s begin our lessons next week after I get through all these birthdays (3) and parties and get Heather’s wedding stuff done. Then I’m all yours!!! Happy Birthday, my dear friend. Love the strap, too. I have seen those on etsy but never purchased one. I can’t wait to see it wrapped around your neck 
xoxoxo
Love the SP! Thank you for dedicating it to little ol me

And I meant that in a nice “wrapped around your neck” way. hehe… When I read that I thought “wow, that didn’t sound nice!”
I need to get a matching one, actually, so we’re twins
