I've been working on a project.

Sorry I've been away for so long.  I have been busy working on a project that has caused my house to look like this...

I can't stand a messy house for too long.  I will post my finished project soon.

Tell me, does anyone have a similar relationship with self portraits? (the kind with little else in the picture)

First it's shocking. I think, "wow my brows are quite bold' or 'do I always look that awkward?' etc Then I avoid looking at it .. hopefully don't delete all of them.. until I see them later to think .. hey it's not so bad.. and

eventually I kind of appreciate it..

I think to varying degrees most of us have that initial insecu

rity.. and for those who are thinking.. 'Yeah, that's not me..' -Awesome! Keep it up!

Yesterday I treated myself to an entire 10 minutes of The Anderson Crew's blog.. mainly her post 'Mamarazzi' caught my interest.. and I took her challenge. -Take a few pics of yourself with and without your kid.. cuz someday you'll wish you had.. They'll love seeing the pictures.. it's a great post I recommend reading it and trying it.. especially if you're a little shy for the camera like me : )

I love seeing pictures of my parents and family.. and I want Chloe to have lots of great pictures to look back on.
