Anyone Interested?

I am thinking of starting a collaborative journal.
Which simply means I start a journal with a theme, and mail it to someone. That someone mails it to someone else, and so on until its done, and then its shipped back to me, and I can mail it around once more so everyone can see it, or post pictures of it online. Either way, its a way to connect with people all over the world, and share a common bond (IE whatever the theme is).

Whoever thinks this might be interesting and something you would like to do, leave me a comment and ill get in touch with you. You must be willing to pay for shipping at least once, and have no qualms about sharing a journal page with strangers. And you definitely must be willing to do a page in a timely manner, and keep in contact with me throughout the process.

Whose in?

Present for my husband for our 1 year....

So I went out of my element to do something nice for my husband. The "doing something nice" was not the out of my element, it was the THING that was out of my element! (Just to clarify)
Anyways I got my makeup done, and then they did my hair, and then they contorted my body into 5 different "poses" that were beyond uncomfortable! But in the end, they look amazing! What do you think? The quality is "bad" because they are pictures of pictures, but the second one with the hat is my favorite!

I love looking at old pics of Rilee... though it makes me sad!

I like the contests because I get to rifle through her old shots to enter the cute ones! Here is one at her Grandparents house in NJ.

Bench Photo Contest

This was a bench that is in San Fransisco an old ship part made into a resting place, where my daughter found a good place to have something sweet. She was barely one in this picture... wow 2 Years ago almost.Twisted Fate Photo Contest Link

"Movement Contest"

This picture captures the heart of my child...she is silly and adorable simultaneously all of the time!

Beach Body or Bust Competition

I have started a competition, starting March 1st through June 1st with potential to go longer if the competitors want to! 10$ buy in and the highest percentage of weight loss at the end gets the pot of money!
Weigh ins are due Sunday/Monday weekly via an email to me with a picture of the scale with your name and date on a paper next to your weigh in.  I wont be sharing the photos with anyone, just be keeping track of the weight loss.
If you are interested leave me a comment with your email address and I will send you my address to send the 10 dollars, and add you to the list of other people doing the competition.
Heres to hoping that we ALL rock the short shorts this summer and make new friends along the way!
