Self Portrait

August 27, 2009

So last month I set aside a task to take some photos for myself to use in my website. Well who knew that it would be so hard? Yep, I found it quite daunting having to stare at photos of myself trying to decide if any are process worthy or should every photo of my ugly mug just be put in the recycle bin forever?

So after some delibaration and me getting over the nerves … here is the photo I chose to put in my “about me” section of the website.

Half Way

August 23, 2009

Well here we are the half way point in the voting part of the competition.

The majority of the leaders votes were made in the first two days, so don’t let the percentages deter you. There’s plenty of time to vote, it’s still anyone’s game.

So get voting and tell all your family and friends to aswell. :O)

Apologies and comp update!

August 19, 2009

Oh my computer, my poor sad pathetic computer. It’s broken, the mother board just decided to die on me. I feel so woeful.

OK, I’m not that desperate, but I am here to apologise for lack of photo posts in here – as I obviously need my computer to import all those special things.

So with a back up of photos to edit and me twiddling my thumbs getting too much housework done – I’m here thanks to Mummy’s fine computer, letting you know I will be back in full force in about a weeks time.

In other news, the COMPETITION is going great guns. If you haven’t let your friends and family know about the voting yet – get to it! The votes are coming in thick and fast, you don’t want to get left behind. :O)

Springtime Competition!

August 7, 2009

Ahh, so I’m so sorry for not being present here for the last couple of weeks – my computer decided to not like it’s power supply and I was without it for 10 days!!

Anyway, I don’t know about you but I’m over Winter. I’m so sick of being cooped up indoors watching the rain from the window. Bring on Spring I say!
