This Is Me - May Self Portrait Link Party

May's Self Portrait theme was 'Me Time'.  The things you do just for you.

Last month, the self portraits showed us the many forms of 'LOVE'.

True Love.

Anne from The Pink Momma

Love at first sight.

Tara at Suburble

The story of how love will find a way...or in Daniela's case, strength.

Daniela at Frugal Ain't Cheap

And...Puppy love.

Chandra at A Stylish Little Lady

So, now is your turn.  Come out from behind the camera, capture your 'Me Time' self portrait and inspire us all.

Let's get this party started...here are our linky rules:

• There will be a link up here on the last Friday of every month this year, and the linky tool will remain open to your submissions until the last Friday of the next month.
• Please link back to the permalink for your *This Is ME* blog post or flickr image, not just the general url for your blog or flickr stream.
• Linked entries must be to a blog post or flickr image of your recent self-portraits, not just any old photo. Your photo does not have to relate to the optional monthly theme, but it does need to be a self-portrait.
• Please do link back here to my blog either through a text link, or with my button found below to help encourage others to participate and grow our community.
• And most importantly, be the encouragement you hope to receive and help build our self-portrait community! Please try to visit a few of the links of your fellow *This Is ME* participants and leave a nice comment--it only takes a few minutes and you may be inspired by what you see.

Well, that's it...now get linking everyone! I'll see you back here on Friday, June 7th, for our June theme announcement, but in the meantime, keep showing us your stuff in the flickr pool.

This is Me - May Theme Reveal

The (optional) self-portrait theme for May is brought to you by Lisa from Wine and Glue.

The theme for the month of May:  Me Time.  Me Time is what do you do to make time for yourself.  Often time, as women, we neglect to take time for ourselves.  The list of people that need us seems never ending. 

When we take time for ourselves, we become better moms, women and people.

So, what is your 'me time'. 

It could be checking blog stats and catching up on the latest episode of Smash (as Lisa is demonstrating).

Is it reading?

 

Taking pictures?

Whatever it is, capture it in a self portrait and share your story.

The theme 'Me Time' was provided for inspiration but the theme is optional.  All self portraits are welcome.  Feel free to use one of our previous themes (simple moments, reflections, looking down) or come up with a new theme of your own. 

The LOVE April linky party is still open, so if you want to post a link you still have time.  If you haven't already, please go check out the brave women that joined the challenge to show them your support and encouragement.

Don't forget, non bloggers can share their self portrait pictures in the flickr pool.

I'll see you at the end of the month, Friday, May 31st, to see your latest self portraits. 

This is Me - April SELF PORTRAIT Link Party

April's self portrait theme was 'LOVE'.

Love is still in the air, 7 years later, as my husband and I celebrate another anniversary...but I'll tell you more about that on Monday.

Last month 14 brave women stepped in front of the camera and shared their 'looking down' self portraits.

These self portraits have become more than just pictures.

These self portraits tell a story.

Sam from Thrive 360 Living

They provide inspiration.

Danni from Silo Hill Farm

They represent love.

Lisa from Wine and Glue

They show style.

Chandra from A Stylish Little Lady

They give you an interesting perspective.

Anne from The Pink Momma

They have allowed me get to know each of these brave women a bit better.

So, now is your turn.  Come out from behind the camera, capture your 'LOVE' self portrait and inspire us all.
