Confessions of a Simaholic

Simming Confession #8: I am terrible at decorating and color coordinating the rooms in the houses I build, so I go looking for pictures of rooms that resemble what I try to do for each room.  I use google images to find each room and when I find a room I like I use it as a reference.

So for instance.  I'll google, "sitting room", and find this picture:

So then I try to make my room in my game look similar to that (which obviously it's not going to look exact to that pic, but it's just a reference to get my imagination going), and this is what I came up with:

Real Life Confession #8:  I love photography and have 2 cameras (I used to have 4 but I broke down and sold one and the other one died so I threw it away--it was a cheap little camera). Now I have a Cannon Digital camera that my dad used to have (he gave it to us) and my Nikon FM 10.

I almost decided to pawn this one recently due to us desperately needing money for Christmas.  The camera alone cost me $500 (this doesn't include the bag, filters, flash, film, or lenses (which I have none of, lenses I mean--I have 4 or 5 filters, the flash etc.--but if I did have other lenses...it would make it more valuable).  I just couldn't do it.  I would only sell it if I were getting a better camera than this one.

And my digital:

Between using the digital camera and using my graphic design skills I was able to make a really good picture of my daughter during Christmas time last year.

We have it enlarged and framed in our living room, and everyone who see's it asks where we had it done.
