Blogging My Way

This blog of mine is still very new

and just beginning to grow.

{I have dreams for it, the same way I have dreams for my children.}

I want it to be the best blog it can be.

That's why I've joined Holly Becker of Decor8 

for a very special e-course called

"Blogging Your Way v. 2.0"

For this week's homework assignment,

we've been asked to update and improve

our "About Me" pages for our blogs.

And there's supposed to be a nice photo of ourselves on it.

{OK...hmmm...I had to color my hair first!}

I asked both of my sons to help me with this assignment, 

and they very kindly complied. 

Each of them took a bunch of photos of me.

Well, let me just say,

I do not really resemble myself at all,

between what I see backwards

in the mirror,

and what I see in my own mind's eye!

{I scared myself when I saw my computer monitor!}

I'm not going to point out the flaws for you...

 but let's just say I'm going to be eating

a lot of these this summer!

{Hint:  there was a whole lot of cropping going on!}

I didn't have a lot of good stuff to pick from, but here are a couple of shots that I can bear to post, but didn't choose for the final.

Here I am with our little dog...

{my only girl baby}

And I liked this one...

{Sort of}

{Kinda looks better with Polaroid effects,

dontcha think?}

This one wasn't too bad either.

{It's the one that I think looks most like me.}

All it took was a little thing called Picasa,

to soften me up and 

add a vignette effect.

{I wish I could have special effects available in real life all the time!}

So now I've done my homework for this week!

Feel free to head on over to read a little bit more

"About Me" if you haven't already

met me!
