Snapshot Savvy

I was pleased to have been asked to write the Snapshot Savvy column on camera modes for the current issue of Scrapbooks, Etc. When the issue arrived in the mail I flipped through it locate the column and promptly showed it to my loyal audience.

When I pointed out Cole's picture to him he was IMMEDIATELY distracted by the colorful Sandylion ad on the opposing page and said, "I like this better, Mommy." Then he asked if he could be the boy playing with the train instead.

Harper, of course, couldn't get past the fact that there was a "puppy doooog" on the cover.

So, that was that.

On a different topic, I have to say that I'm slightly less enamored with spring today considering that I was stung by a wasp on the back of the neck yesterday. I am thankful that it didn't sting the kids, since I'd just sat down on the back steps where the three of us usually hang out together to enjoy our afternoon snack on warm days. I'm also thankful that it wasn't a spider bite from one of the two poisonous spiders that reside in NC and are always lurking in the back of my mind.

I just got mine yesterday too and loved your article! Great job!

And we had wasp nests last year in the eaves of our house, under our deck, etc. Freaked me out that one of us would get stung. I hope you don't have a nest and that the nasty thing is just a lurker....

ick on the wasp. random tidbit for you in case you get stung again... i've heard if you tape a penny to the sting for 15 minutes, it will help alleviate the pain due to the copper in the coin.

Congrats on the article! I'm a CK loyalist, but I'll be sure to skim through Scrapbooks Etc. next time I go to the store.

(By the way, Melanie...that copper penny rememdy is an old wive's tale. I remember reading about it on snopes.com. Just a head's up.)
