AND, the winner of the "Self" photo challenge is...

Ok.... just one thing real quick... the numbers have been reset over at 

Top Baby Blogs... If you think my photo challenges are totally tubular... can I get a vote?

Thank you so much! I've met so many wonderful blogging mommy's through this site.

This weeks guest judge: ME! This weeks challenge: Self portrait.
The challenge: The challenge will be based around YOU! Time to turn the camera around and take a photo of yourself. You're children/pets don't have to be in the photo this week.

The winners chosen by me:

First place: I Rock So What
Why I chose this photo: "Ok, so Jess was just telling me how she's never won any of my photo challenges... I want to let her know that's not why I chose this photo... I chose it because it's absolutely beautiful. I love how her hair is moving and just the whole look of the photo."

{I Rock So What}

Congrats to the winner! Great job, and please feel free to grab the Fact: I'm Awesome button! Because You are awesome!!
