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
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!
