Merry Xmas to me
For Christmas, I bought myself a new camera: A Canon SD800 IS. It came highly recommended from my camera geek friend, and I have nothing but praise for this new electronic device. One its virtues is a gigantic LCD screen on the back, and I obviously don't want to scratch it. On the other hand, I still want to fit the camera in my pocket, so a clunky camera case is't going to cut it. I've seen various wraps for handheld devices, but they're still pretty bulky. Really, I just needea thin sleeve to cover the camera. My solution: I bought a pair of cute kid's socks, tossed out one of them, chopped the bottom off the other and stitched up the hole. (In actuality, my mom stitched it up for me - but she volunteered without me asking!) The end result is a snug fabric camera bag with an elastic top to keep it from falling it. As an added bonus, it has a monkey on it!

But what is the cute kid going to do without their socks?

Maybe I donated the other sock to a one-footed kid!

Way cool idea! Where did you get such a great pair of socks? The monkey IS a complete bonus, but then who doesn't love a monkey?
