...and a photo like this, happily playing on her computer, is....
This morning while I was cleaning the bathroom, Merryn was sitting on the little pink chair, happily playing with her Barbie computer. She looked so cute, and so relaxed that I snuck out to grab the camera. Of course, as soon as I went to take a shot, she started mucking around, pulling silly faces and kicking her legs in the air! Which made me more determined to get a photo LOL.After asking nicely, and using a little "tone" in my voice, she still wasn't having a bar of it.
We had been grocery shopping earlier in the morning, and I'd bought her a chocolate as a treat, planning to give it to her after lunch. It got the better of me, and I told her if she behaved herself and let me take a photo, she could have it. Bribing for a photo is not something I would normally do, and the minute I did it, I started to regret it. I can't help but think that I may have set a VERY dangerous precedent! No chocolate=no photo type of thing. Hmmmmm....time will tell!
I actually scrapbooked a page this afternoon...YAY! It's been a while :)
This is my "pink page" that I created as part of the "Girls Night In" on the Scrapsidaisy forum. Since the idea is to raise money for Pink Ribbon Day (and breast cancer research), you just need to scrap a page using predominantly pink.
Sorry about the camera flash in the middle of this one...not ideal lighting conditions here at the moment. It actually looks VERY pink IRL. The good news is...you still have time to enter! You just need to upload to the forum by noon tomorrow, and the prize is a pack of yummy pink scrapping goodies for the winner! What's not to love about that?
