Why'd I buy it?

I'm linkin' up with one of my most awesomeness BBB's,
AMC from Elementary AMC for her new monthly
linky...Why'd I buy it?

It's no secret that I like to shop.
My most favorite form of shoppin' involves the internet.
Why?
I'm lazy.
I can scroll, click, stick it in my cart
and a few days later, 
stuff magically appears at my doorstep.
I can lay on the couch in my jammies,
avoid traffic, long lines...and...people.
Stress free.
The only problem...I spend money.
You can't win them all.

Recently I bought a big purchase, not online...
and I didn't even go to a store.
I won that one.

My dear sweet friend Miss Nelson is 
an amazin' photographer.
She has some awesome cameras and lenses.
I don't know how to use not a one of them, but 
it's pretty neat watchin' her snap shots.
I'm jealous of her talent and I want to be just like her.

So...I begged her to sell me one her cameras..and she DID.
I love her.

Why'd I buy it?

I want to take amazingness pictures for my blog
and to torture my friends and family every chance I get.
Shhh...don't tell them I said that or they will hide.

This is my biggest Back to School purchase and
by far my most favorite.
I can't wait for the kiddos to smile for me on the 
first day of school.
I'm goin' to paparazzi them all year and it's goin'
to be so much fun!

Be on the lookout for some photos.
No judgin' though...I still don't know what I'm doin'!

Happy Wednesday, friends!

  1. That is an excellent camera! You are going to love it! I'm also a fan of the online shopping. I like that I can sit on my couch, watch tv, and order stuff that gets delivered to my door! Enjoy your camera!!!

  2. I am super jealous of your camera and I will be super jealous of your awesome photos. I need a better camera but I think I would be too lazy to learn how to use it. Maybe I will just hire someone to take photos of my class. We are getting family photos done on Saturday - ugh!! Thank you so much for linking up - you are truly a rock star! P.S. Right before this I was online shopping.

  8. I have a camera like that too. I got it for Christmas two years ago. I need to use it more this year. We can figure out how to do cool stuff with it together. Two heads are better than one right? :-) :-)

  9. Enjoy your new camera! I can't wait to see pictures! I am still using a very basic camera. It works fine for me, but one day I'd like to take the plunge for a nice one like that. Have fun!

  11. Love that camera! I only have the camera on my iPad/phone...that's pretty sad isn't it? I love shopping online too! I'm an Amazon junkie! I've also joined the stitch fix craze! I should receive my first shipment the end of August!

  12. LOVE that you bought a camera! I'm a Nikon girl myself, and have seriously been lazy about using it lately. I have to get back into the habit. I'm getting addicted to online shopping...lol, I need a paycheck.

  15. Can you capture some shots on how to work a camera like that and blog about it?
    I would love to be a better photographer.
    And I am with you on the shopping from home, but sometimes it's dangerous to have a credit card so close to the computer. $$$$

  19. You are going go love it! You will get the hang of it. Stick with auto focus for a little while, then I suggest taking one step at a time. I still have tons to learn, but there are tons of tutorials out there. So excited for you and cannot wait to see you paparazzi shots!
