Cook, Bake, Live

Update: The camera is now sitting in a warehouse in LA, so, it will be in my hands tomorrow! 

I've done it! I found a way to avoid the dreaded camera bag! There are female friendly camera bags out there, like Jill-e, but most of the Jill-e bags are not also animal friendly, so, I had to go it alone on this one, I'd read in some forums that women were using makeup bags to keep their cameras and lenses safe while in their purses, so, I went out shopping today for the perfect bag/makeup bag combo. Failed first at Old Navy, found one bag I liked, but, wasn't the most practical, then we headed over to Marshall's and got lucky, found this cute brown Liz Claiborne messenger bag! 

It has one big pocket, a smaller pocket, a pocket that is the perfect size for my iPhone, and 2 small zippered pockets that will be great for things like memory cards. 

After finding this perfect bag, I went over to Target and found a perfect makeup bag that will fit my camera body and my 18-70 mm lens attached, I just could not have had a luckier day! 

So, I'm off to revel in my happiness! Oh and just tracked my camera on FedEx's site, it's currently in Fort Worth, TX and should be here tomorrow, yay! 

Alright, it's 12:30 in the AM, so, don't fault me if this sounds stupid! How cool would it be if you could buy inserts that would turn a cute purse into a cute, protective camera bag rather than buying one of those hideous bags obviously made for those attempting fashion suicide, I think it'd be awesome, I figure, if I were to cut open the lining on the bottom of a purse and add in a thin layer of padding, then sew in sections to keep everything organized, I could just do it myself! Ok, grabbing said purse right now (yes, I'm a self starter), results to come!
