Today I have 2 test sessions at my place haha.. so small but thank god the lights fit im hoping we can make some good stuff, and right after I'll be heading to calumet with the tshirt site owner to find out some rentals about the hassy and also to familiarize myself with it.. never even held a medium format camera before! and the one we are planning to rent the sensor is over 2 times bigger than even the top of the line canon camera so that-= amazing pics! and if you shoot products in studio it has this multiple exposer thing that creates the most jaw dropping product shots@!! oo cant wait! then for the next two weeks I'll be dreaming about shooting with it

More random things about me - for SandyU who tagged me........
1. I love Plain Non-Fat yogurt. I have it for lunch every day. My lunch has never been stolen out of the work fridge.
2. I do not watch any "reality" TV shows - I seem to be the only person I know who doesn't. However, I did watch the first season of Survivor all those years ago.
3. I have peroneal tendonitis in my left foot. I have had it for 2 years now. I don't think it is ever going to get better - it is an "overuse" injury and I just can't see how you can not use your foot.
4. I admit to having owned some Abba cassettes - but surely I did not purchase them myself! :-)
5. For seven years I lived in a 12-storey apartment block with hundreds of others and only learnt the name of one neighbour. Ophelia! A fabulous name - I wish I was called Ophelia. My father wanted to call me Fleur - I'm glad my mother resisted - though Fleur would be a good Vox name.
6. I think of worst case scenarios for every situation. I am a "what if worrier". What if robbers suddenly appeared to rob that armoured truck as I'm walking past, what if my waiter just sneezed all over my plate and has some incurable disease spread by "droplets"; what if the plane really does have to make a water landing; what if the life jacket is not under the seat; what if ..... you get the idea!
7. I have morning "tea" at 10am every morning - weekday & weekends. Though this actually consists of coffee rather than tea; if I miss out for any reason I turn into a very nasty person.
8. I have probably eaten tons of chocolate in my lifetime. I have still not perfected the art of making a box last longer than a day. I intend to continue practising on this!

It's a great way to entertain while your making dinner. My husband and I have found ourselves singing the songs throughout the day (okay, maybe that's not a good thing :) I purchased this for my grandson for Christmas when he was 14 months old. He still pushes the buttons occasionally. It may become of interest again when he begins to learn letter recognition. This is another LF toy in our fridge collection ( we like the animal farm the best ). It has fun tunes that my toddler likes to groove out to. It teaches upper and lower case letters and numbers to 10. My only complaint with it, is that the magnets should be stronger. The machine slides down our SS fridge a lot! Also, the sound quality isn't great...not loud enough! I can't believe I am saying that about a kid toy!! Usually they are way too loud and obnoxious! We love this. My daughter often drags it around with her - and I've caught my husband playing with it often as well. The songs are catchy and eduational. Highly recommend! I purchased this for my sister's grandson, he loves listen to music and dancing, so I thought this would be a great way for him to learn and have fun. The Leapfrog Fridge DJ is truly a multi-sensory learning experience that helps your child discover numbers, letters and more! The learning screen lights up to show uppercase and lowercase letters, helping to develop letter-recognition skills. Rhyming songs introduce numbers 1-20, both up and down. Engaging music encourages children to move and dance along as Fridge DJ spins learning along! Requires 3 "AA" batteries, included. Measures 2"L x 9"W x 6"H.

She is now 27 months old and still doesn't use it much. I'm not sure if it is a gender issue or the scooter is simply not as much fun. It is stable and durable but the front wheels turn only a few degrees. It can be frustrating for a toddler to try to turn a vehicle and fail, or get stuck in a corner. It is easier to ride than a tricyle in the beginning, but now that SBA is strong enough to pedal, she seems more interested in the tricycle. This is a nice scooter for the money for the toddler learning how to ride. My three year old can move around well on it (his little bro loves to ride with him) There is lots of space for the feet, so it doesnt wobble and tip. I would recommend this product for sure. This scooter is a great first scooter. Every time my daughter saw the older kids out on their scooters at the playground, she would follow them around and want to take a ride. So a few months after she turned 2, I started looking for a beginner scotter and found this one. She LOVES it! She knew exactly what to do and after only being on it 3x she rode on it for 1/2 a mile with me walking behind her. That's a long scooter ride for a little one! The scooter doesn't seem to glide very far without needing to push off, but that is ok, since at this age a lot of the challenge is learning to keep one foot steady while using that other foot to push and to just balance with that without necessarily having to glide or steer that well. We found the scooter for less money at Toys R Us, and then even cheaper at Walmart. They also have a pink one at both retail locations. I was thrilled to find this age-appropriate scooter for my 1 1/2 year old. I have a 4 year old that has a razor scooter and we would put my 1 1/2 year old on it and push him around. He would cry when we took him off, so we decided he should have his own. This scooter is stable (only for little bodies, though) since it has 3 wheels and goes slow enough so he can learn how to use it properly. He quickly got the hang of it and feels like a "big boy" riding around with the other kids on theirs! It's also durable for all of those times it just gets dragged around and knocked over. We got this for my three year old for Christmas and he absolutely loves it! This scooter is durable and very easy for him to use. I was a little worried about the double wheels in the front making it hard to turn but those worries were unfounded. I like the stability that this design provides for my little guy to ride safely... and it it easy for him to turn and navigate. This one is a winner with us! This red-hot scooter is the perfect first scooter for your child, and has all the great qualities that you've come to expect from Radio Flyer. Features:

Alabama sheriffs feed inmates on $1.75 a day
AP Photo: Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely is shown in the jail kitchen as he discusses feeding...
By JAY REEVES, Associated Press Writer Sat May 17, 12:58 AM ET
- BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Back in the day of chain gangs, Alabama passed a law that gave sheriffs $1.75 a day to feed each prisoner in their jails, and the sheriffs got to pocket anything that was left over. More than 80 years later, most Alabama counties still operate under this system, with the same $1.75-a-day allowance, and some sheriffs are actually making money on top of their salaries.
Is this a corrupt system or not? Or should the prisoners and the public not complain for in other parts of the world millions live day to day on less. Or, according to County Sheriff Shaver "These people eat better here than they eat on the street, and they eat three times a day," offer a better reason to justify this aged old system.

The clothing is excellent, the hair styles and combs easily, and she's just the perfect size for carrying around without being overwhelming to little arms. Her hair roots could have been better but for the price I paid I have no complaints. Her eyes open and close easily. I had Madame Alexander dolls as a child, so it's nice to be able to tell my daughter about my doll. Surprisingly, this doll looks amazingly similar to my daughter, but unlike the other reviewer that said the eyes are blue, ours came with brown eyes just like my daughter. The outfit is precious that she comes dressed in. They're bloomers, a t-shirt, booties, and a bunny eared jacket. She also comes with a dress and a blanket as well as a comb, brush, and mirror. I highly recommend this toy as a donation to toys for tots or as a gift. My daughter got this doll for Christmas and it was instantly her favorite doll. She loves the adorable bunny coat. There is an extra outfit included as well as a little blankie. The only problem we have had with the doll is that the hair quickly got hopelessly tangled, beyond my abilities to fix, even with the included comb and brush. Overall, it's an adorable doll for a great price. I still own the Madame Alexander doll I had as a preschooler and the same thing happened with its hair. When my granddaughter opened this doll she screamed with delight and said "You look like me and you go nite nite." (The doll eyes open and close.) My granddaughter is blond hair and blue eyed and the doll does look like her. Later in the evening when she was in her bed she was rocking her baby and saying "I love you just like Mommy loves Taylor. That is me, I am Taylor." Hope you have as great an expierence as we did with this doll. Taylor also told the doll, "You my baby not a bunny." Taylor likes the rabbit ears but not on the "Baby." I bought this for my 3year old granddaughter and she sleeps with it every night and takes it with her every where she goes. A very good price for a Madame Alexander doll. The Madame Alexander My Little Girl Bunny Hop doll was purchased for our 6-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves this doll. The doll, blanket, clothing is first class and the doll has a beautiful face. It is well worth the cost. It far exceeds any other doll on the market. Give your child the kind of quality doll you grew up with -- or wish you had. My Little Girl Bunny Hop Blanket Set is from Madame Alexander's My Little Girl collection. The Bunny Hop Blanket Set features a darling doll with accessories. This adorable doll is a wonderful gift for young girls and doll collectors alike. Standing 14 inches tall, this My Little Girl has realistic features, including a soft fabric body and rooted blonde hair that's made for styling with a brush and comb. Her arms and legs are made with vinyl for a gentler touch than plastic. And her beautifully detailed outfits are fully removable and washable. Includes Baby doll, pink dress, cloth blanket, brush, comb and mirror. Give your daughter or granddaughter the kind of quality doll you grew up with -- or wish you had. From Madame Alexander's My Little Girl collection, the Bunny Hop Blanket Set features a darling doll with accessories that will satisfy a child's need to love and nurture. Recommended for ages three and up, this adorable doll is a wonderful gift for young girls and doll collectors.
Perfectly capturing the charm of little girls, this Madame Alexander doll makes the most innocent expression. If she could talk, she'd say, "Momma, help," as there's so much to do -- from changing her clothes from the bunny costume to a pink-and-white checkered dress, to laying her down to a nap with a blanket. And with a mirror, you can even show your little girl how pretty she is. Baby Soft Design About Madame Alexander

(Fun&Entertaining Gift for Little Girls)




(Maggie Leigh magnetic dress-up - lots of fun!)




My daughter got this for her birthday 2 or 3 years ago and it is in great shape. She is 5 now and doesn't play with it much anymore, but her younger sister (2 1/2 yrs) is now interested. I love how sturdy it is. The doll is thick wood and the pieces are very thick plastic, it all comes in a nice wooden box. The lid slids off easily though, so I don't recommend that part for travel. We put it in a ziplock for travel. It is easy for a toddler to place the pieces on the doll and mix and match fun. I think it's helpful to have two dolls so Mom or friends can play together. Great dress up doll for younger kids.
We received this as a gift for our daughter when she turned 2. It was a little bit old for her, but she quickly "grew into it". She played with it constantly--and had so much fun trying to dress Maggie for different events. It was a fun way for us to talk about where Maggie might be going and what she needed to take, etc. Now that she's almost 4, she still plays with it some but I do think it's best suited to around 2-3 years. We liked it so much, we have given it as a gift ourselves, and also got the Nina Ballerina version for our daughter for Christmas.
I am very pleased with this product. I bought one for my daughter (3 years old) and one for my niece (also 3 years old) for Christmas.
The doll itself is very easy to hold. It is very sturdy and durable. The wooden stand that comes with her is great - it creates a very sturdy base for standing the doll upright.
The doll came with quite a few clothing items. There are some smaller pieces (the shoes), but nothing is super tiny. It is all very easy for my 3 year old to hold and handle all on her own with out my help. The magnets are perfect! They are strong enough to hold the clothes so that they do not slide down when you stand the doll up (a problem we had on a Disney set) but they aren't so strong that she isn't able to remove the clothes. The magnets are not exposed and don't appear to be able to come off in any way.
The only thing I would change is that it doesn't have a cover or a case. I wish it was self-containable. My daughter and I are always very careful to store it on top of her dresser so that we don't dump it out and lose any of the clothes.
This is a tremendous improvement over 'paper' dolls. My granddaughter has several sets and enjoys playing with them. They are durable and the clothes stay on the doll.
My daughter got this for christmas and she loves it. She dresses them and creates pretend conversations for Maggie Leigh and Princess Elise. I wish there were more sets. My daughter is three and it is great for her to dress the dolls; better than the paper dolls I had as a child.
I have been pleased with all my Melissa and Doug toys and these magnetic dress-up dolls did not disappoint.
Help Maggie Leigh pick out a cute outfit with these colorful mix-n-match magnetic pieces. Maggie stands about 8" tall and comes with a colorful collection of 27 magnetic-backed wooden pants, shoes, skirts, dresses and more, to wear in whichever combinations you choose. Includes a brightly painted storage box to neatly store the doll, stand and all the clothing pieces.
