New Year Blooper party...

First of all, Happy (almost) 2011 everyone, may you have a safe and happy year!

Today I'm joining Susan at Between Naps On The Porch for her first annual Blogging Blooper Party!! And you thought the magic just happens without a few boo-boos...wrong!

Like a deer in the headlights...
so just because you're short (5' 1" to be exact) doesn't mean because you can't see the reflection of the camera in the mirror that it isn't there...
Note to self:: next time get out the step ladder...

OK so now y'all know I have the same green Costco kitchen towels everyone else has...they're nice but not so nice they belonged in this photo shoot under such a lovely centerpiece!

"Unch" anyone???
I know all the food was edible for our Christmas breakfast because our family lived to tell about it, however I don't recall anyone asking for seconds on the "Unch"
Note to self: turn the flash off before the shoot...

Then we have the Christmas portrait of the girls...it never fails to amaze me how misbehaved children can be and how difficult it is to get them to sit still upright and pose just as you're ready to snap the photo...

Oddly, the same thing happens when trying to capture real people too...meet the "Ghosts' of Christmas" family, they're distant cousins of the Griswalds...



So on that note, I think because its New Year's Eve...I'll pour myself a Champagne cocktail and go sit by the fire with Mr. La Bella Vie...
 

Thank you again Susan for hosting such a fun party!

  6. I love the camera in the mirror shot! I can totally relate. Every year I ask for one of those gopher sticks so I can reach the second shelf without stepping on my tiptoes but Santa hasn't brought it yet! :)

  11. I can relate very well to all of your bloopers! That is a beautiful reindeer and a gorgeous centerpiece!

    Now,I have to tell you that I found another blooper in this post that happens to me all the time and simply drives me crazy because I never notice it until after I hit the publish button, which I am sure is why I noticed it here: "their" nice instead of "they're nice!" I don't know what it is about blogging that causes these bloopers but they are the ones that get me the most! Remember this one and use it in next year's blooper party! ♥

  13. Love the mirror blooper and yes those ghosts are everywhere! I am always worried about bloopers, but I bet no one would have notic3d the green towel. I had to look for a second to find that one.
