You really still love your pola...Good words, Lisa. You really still love your polaroid? I never liked them, even in the beginning. They were the "instant picture" camera that iphone has become. I'm in love with my digital SLR, but I agree with you...will my children and grands get to see what I have seen thru my lens? We have book cases full of photo albums that our kids love to go thru on visits home. Nobody looks at my albums on my computer!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121172465022137270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-43577529288586432692013-09-26T15:42:05.622-05:002013-09-26T15:42:05.622-05:00I don't care what other people do, except one....I don't care what other people do, except one.

I should amend that I don't own many techno toys because I KNOW I would struggle too much and am not hardy enough to trust myself. Oh yes, October is definitely calling out for snuggle time, fires, books, board games, music and knitting. Me thinks an informal campaign is underway ;)Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01584878249959334936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-21325433484753491372013-09-24T11:33:38.449-05:002013-09-24T11:33:38.449-05:00Despite being an iphone owner.

The more we seemingly "connect" the further we step away from others. I have been trying to strike some sort of balance, it's tough. I too am about purge my social media once again. October just calls for purging and connecting in deeper and more meaningful ways! :) xoxomandy l. smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15465284512439738872noreply@blogger.com
