Help Out Nashville Flood Victims

By now, I'm sure you've heard about the massive flooding in Nashville, whether it was by the news or by visiting a blog owned by someone who was a victim to the flooding..... So, how can we help? I thought I'd list a few ways :)

Redcross

The Red Cross has been in Nashville, Tennessee operating shelters, providing water to the needy, and offering additional assistance as needed. You may offer cash assistance to the Red Cross or specifically to the Nashville Chapter. The Red Cross prefers cash donations which they use to purchase supplies and aid.

You may contribute to the Nashville Area Red Cross by texting 90999 on your telephone. Your bill will be charged $10.00 and this gives a $10.00 contribution to the Nashville Red Cross. You may also call and make a donation by phone at 1- 615-250-4300. If you would like to send a check you may do so here: 2201 Charlotte Avenue, Nashville, TN 37203. With the current flooding situation, you may find that text is the quickest method available.

Donate:

• Hands On Nashville - donations support flood-related volunteerism
• Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle TN - all those people need food!
• Salvation Army Nashville Area - providing meals and basic clothing/toiletry items
• Metro Nashville Emergency Response Fund
• Tennessee Emergency Response Fund
• Soles4Souls - provides shoes to those in need. $1 donated = ONE PAIR OF SHOES!

If you can spare a little money please make a donation! If you live in the Nashville area there are many organizations looking for volunteers to help with everything, so donate your time too!! Here's a great site with lots of info: nashvillest.com

Please help out in whatever way you can!!

Anticipation...

I'm waiting for my brand new Fuji Mini 7s instant camera, a present to myself, to be delivered! It should be arriving on Thursday 5/6 and it looks just like this:

Don't you just love getting exciting things in the mail??

Post It Note Tuesday!

Straight From The Camera Sunday

More pictures of junk around my house, lol. I now feel like I'm under attack by mosquitos!

Buy Me This, K?

This is a Fuji Film Instax Mini 25 Instant Film Camera, picture from techpin.com

For some reason I am VERY interested in instant film cameras now, just out of the blue this desire to own one hits me. The film is kinda expensive though?? Basically $1 per photo, for serious?????? I only found this orange one, also known as the Checki 25, on ebay.

This is the Fuji Film Mini 7s Camera in pink, which I'd also settle for :)

Polaroid is bringing the instant camera revolution back, in a couple months every one in their bloody mind is going to be wanting to buy cameras like these, haha. I'm going to keep a close watch on eBay to see if I can find one for a super good deal (most on there now are anywhere from $70++) and I'd also like to find one that isn't located in Hong Kong... because it takes too long to get anything from there!

**EDIT** I just found the pink camera for a great deal at uniquephoto.com, it was $59.95 and I also bought 2 twin packs of film for  $13.60 each (which amounts to about 61 cents a photo!) I found it as a wonderful deal and used some of the money from my tax refund to buy it as a present for myself =D Hah, Now I will wait in anticipation for it to be delivered!
