Have a Very NERFy Christmas and a Happy New Year

So lately we have  been getting into these NERF gun things.  In the beginning I was horrified.  I have never been a big fan of guns and have little skill in fps games.  Upon further discussion I gave it a maybe and took a Barracade gun home.

Now we own pretty much ever bigger gun NERF make in the N-Strike Series.  I own two Barricade guns, looking to buy a Maverick this afternoon sometime and plan on going all Tomb Raider on the boys.. hehe.

Currently I am watching the news, hoping to hear more about the two earthquakes from Christchurch, NZ today.  My best friend Corina lives not far from where these quakes happen in New Zealand.  Any quakes there usually leave me with panic attacks and feeling very nervous for weeks.  She always keeps us in the loop as much as she can during these scary times as she knows we worry so much about her.

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and New Year.  I work Boxing Day (YAY for double time and half pay) but am spending the day with my husband’s family on Christmas Day.

Yesterday…

Was my one month wedding anniversary.  Yes, One Month!!  It feels like the wedding was just last week.  I haven’t even sent out thankyou cards yet.  Also, tomorrow is my 28th birthday (14th December).   What am I doing for my birthday you may ask?  Well I am going out to dinner with my husband (I don’t think I will ever get tired of calling him that.. squee) to a quaint little restaurant around an hour north west of Brisbane in a place called Dayboro.  It is a small country town with just a handful of shops, a pub, a housing estate and a ton of farms all around.  Take a drive out there and visit one day.  The air is so clear and the noises are peaceful, not like cars and their horns blaring, trains constantly going back and forth, industrial noise going all hours of the day and night.  Still, happy birthday to me :)

DeviantArt Meets

I run a large art social group called #Brisburnians with the help of some close friends.  The group has it’s main web presence on a website called DeviantArt but also has links on Facebook and other social media networks through members.

It has been running for over 2 years now and have held events all over Brisbane city with various themes such as photography walks, barbeques, parties in the park, teddy bear picnic, evening at the pub or restaurant etc.  We usually try to hold an event for every major holiday in the year and a few in-between events to fill the gaps.

#Brisburnians is a not for profit, volunteer run group so sometimes we take breaks due to outside commitments and life in general but they can be few and far between and I can guarantee we’ll always be back, bigger and better.

Our biggest event is our annual Christmas Party.  Held usually a week or two before Christmas, open to anyone, not just members of the group.  It is a great way to meet new people as members whom don’t usually attend meets during the year always try to make it for Christmas and many younger members bring their families ad siblings too.  Fun, Games, Food and Festivites!

Weather you are a young picasso in the making, a social photographer or just enjoy art and being social, feel free to come along and join in!  Check out the website for more details.

Van Den Hoorn Portraits

A banner I made up this afternoon for a close mate of mine whom has just recently opened up his store on Etsy.  On top of being an insanely talented artist he is a musician and a fantastic bloke!

Artistic Shots

I enjoy taking photographs of everything that isn’t of the norm.  If I like it, I’ll take a billion snaps of it and pick the best and most unusual of the lot.  Macro is what I am exploring and enjoying the most at the moment but I’ll try anything and everything.

If you like anything you see here, prints can be made and posted to you.  Contact me for more information.

The old minecraft server is gone and we are waiting for the new one to come out and be open to building and socialising.

While we wait lets look back and be all nostalgic on some of the old buildings.
