This is who I am...

Well, I finally did it. There was an article (which I found in the CK Book, Creativity Tips for Scrapbookers) about taking your own self portrait. I have read it several times, picked up my camera many times and then on Friday afternoon (when I was all alone, that window of time between when I get off of work, before my husband gets home from work and before I get Lauren from school) I took some pictures of ME. I checked them out on the camera and wasn't impressed, it actually got me a little depressed because most of them turned out pretty bad. I'm not the most photogenic person in the world and if you have never done it...taking a good self portrait is pretty hard - unless you are Tyra Banks ;o). So today I downloaded the photos on to my laptop and sat down and really looked at them. I threw out probably 90 percent of the photos of me, but I found a few that I thought I could work with. So, I'm going to be brave and post my Self Portrait. As the caption says, "this is who I am", so I better get used to it right? One of my goals for this year is learning to love and accept me for who I am. Guess this falls right in line with that huh?

Also, I found these cute, cute little tin pails at Target this last week. They were One Dollar each, no kidding! I picked up about 5 and I plan on embellishing them. Not sure what I will do with them, but it's gonna be fun figuring it out!
