Photo Challenges ... I've missed you!

With that guy copying my blog posts and the virus I got on my computer last week... I've barely entered any photo challenges! I feel like I'm missing something! So, time to get my photo challenge fix!

............................................

New photo challenge I'm excited about: SELFIE Saturdays with the very talented Elena. So, I'm late with this first self portrait.... but, I wanted to join up. Week one is all about: Our Dream Self

Well... as a mom it can be hard to actually get a shower or even wear make up. I'm freshly showered and have some mascara on today. It makes me feel good. :) The second weeks theme is "full body shot". This is where my "dream self" gets a little difficult... I want to be in shape. I'm working towards it... but, it's been hard. I'll think of this next weeks shot as my "before" photo. :D I know I'm not overweight... but, I just want to be healthy and toned.

AND: Some of you have been asking... YES! My "new" camera lens is on it's way from Ebay! Yay! I had to wait to gather up all my birthday money before I purchased. I'm so ready and can't wait to get my lens! Yay!
