Mary ~  You asked for some hints and I did send a response to GPDD.  I
didn't see my response appear in the GPDD, however.  Perhaps I didn't
get an issue.  I then tried emailing it to you but your spam filter
wouldn't let it go through so I am sending it in again to the GPDD.

I use a 5 mega pixel Canon Elf camera to take pigtures of the Munchees.
It is pretty much idiot proof.  I always use the LED viewer to see what
I am taking a pigture of although that doesn't always guarantee
everything I see will end up in the photo.  I have found that the blue
table cloth (from my Princess House crystal days) makes a great backdrop
in terms of color.  All of the photos (except Dancing with the Munchees)
are taken on the couch.  I had tried an off-white quilt once but it
didn't look very good.  The trick with the Munchees is to get them set
up and take the pigture quickly!  What's nice about the digital camera
is, you can always delete it.  I like using hats when I can.  I hesitate
to put them into any tight fitting costumes although there is a website
that sells costumes.  They also sell hats separately which might be cool
to try.  That website is http://cuddlycavies.homestead.com/costumes.html

The Munchees have a large following and people are always making
suggestions.  I had made a comment to my co-worker that it would be cool
to have a Barbie car.  She came across one at a yard sale, bought the
pink stuffed rabbit and gave them to me last week.  I have done two or
three Easter themed photos so had not intended to do another Easter
theme.  She also made the bunny ears from last year's Easter shoot and
the year before.  Another co-worker brought me some Mardi Gras stuff and
so I ended up doing the Mardi Gras photos.  

I hope this helps.

Kacee and the Munchee Ten
