Things are getting more colourful around here...

Wow, where did the week go?  On Wednesday I took photos of some of my gift tags, mini gift cards and Christmas cards for the shop.  I wanted to mix some bright items in with the cards, which are quite delicate and soft in colour.  Here are a few of the photos...



I don't have much in the way of props here.  When we moved to Turkey about 2 and a half years ago, we only brought 3 suitcases of with us - mostly filled with things for Yashar - who at the time was about 4 months old.  And since then we have tried not to buy too much.  Both for the budget and the thought of whether we would bring it back to Australia with us once we eventually move back.  So when I take the photos I just try to use some of the few things we have around the house...  No stylists dream I'm sure!  But I had fun with it and I like how the photos look festive and vibrant compared to the previous ones.
These are a couple of the Christmas postcards.   The frame is one I bought from Chakra quite a while ago (it was part of a father's day present for Senol)

I think you would be amazed at the amount of time that it takes to bring a little range of cards in to being!  Just taking the photos, editing them, and uploading them seems to take me days!  I'm planning to write a little more about the process from start to finish of creating a set of cards next week, once I get the new cards back...if you're interested...



Have a great weekend!
