Best Thing EVER.

This in a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S . I love it, and by love I mean carry it around everywhere in my purse, snap it in people’s faces kind of love. It is a ” mini” polaroid if you will. It shoots out credit card size polaroids. You NEED one. No really, you do!

    I seem to remember a 16 year old Jessie being annoyed with my little camera being snapped in her face…ok, so I carried it around with me everywhere we went. Now you understand. Maybe I had some kind of influence on you. I love you!!

    PS You’re right. I NEED a mini 7S!
