"Elph" Yourself!

Hubby and I opened each other's Christmas presents a little early this year, and I was so excited when I opened my gift and saw this beauty nestled inside!

I guess all my complaining about my crappy, bulky, old camera must have worked. :) I am now the proud owner of a Canon PowerShot Digital Elph SD780 IS. Woop woop! I'll be doing a lot of reading up and experimenting this Christmas to see what all it can do; I'm not used to something this advanced. Hopefully you'll see an improvement with the pics on my blog, too. I think this will inspire me to become quite the photographer!

On semi-related note, have you created a holiday greeting on Elf Yourself yet? I received a couple of these from friends, but finally made my own a couple days ago. It was a riot! Really easy, too. If you haven't played around with it yet, I recommend it! I even elf-ed our cat, Phoebe. Ok, so some people thought it was a little creepy, but she is part of the family after all (as much as my husband doesn't want to admit it. :)

Oh, and my rum cake from earlier this week turned out to be a success! Very moist and yummy. I'll be making another one for Christmas with the fam.

That's all for now, folks -- I'll be signing off for a couple days to enjoy the rest of this frigid, blustery, blizzard of a holiday. Have a very Merry Christmas!
