This is Me and What I Wear

The self portrait challenge continues.  The optional theme for October...clothes.

I think just as much as your house represents who you are, your clothes do the same.  Clothes allow you to express yourself and have a story.

Maybe you have a pair of pants splattered in different colored paint that represent the creative projects you've completed over the years (Tuula).  Maybe you like to wear a worn flannel shirt that used to be your dad's.  Maybe your clothes are covered in spit up...because you are the loving mom of a sweet little bundle of joy.

Whatever your story, share it in a self portrait.

This is Me - JUNE Self Portrait Link Party

The self portrait 'task' for June was to take either a new self portrait or an old one and add an inspiring quote to your photograph.

Last month, the theme was 'Me Time'.

Some told a sweet story. 

Tara from Suburble

Some made me laugh.

Mel from Mellywood's Mansion

And some, they made me wish their me time was my me time.

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, July 5th, for our July theme announcement, but in the meantime, keep showing us your stuff in the flickr pool.

This is Me - April Theme Reveal

The (optional) self-portrait theme for April is...love.

Take a picture with someone you love.

Some thing you love.

Or something you love to do.

The theme 'Love' 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 Looking Down March 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, April 26, to see your latest self portraits. 

Looking Down - March Self Portrait Challenge

This is me.

Occasionally you'll find me in heels.

Occasionally, you'll find me barefoot.

Ok, more than occasionally, you'll find me barefoot.

 All of the time, though, I am a mom.

A mom who can't believe how fast her little girl is growing up.

A mom that wants to get in front of the camera more.  A mom that wants to make sure Grace has a lot of pictures of a mom that loves her with all of her heart every day.

I can't wait to see how beautiful all of your looking down self portraits turned out.

Remember to come back on Friday and link them up.
