SPT - "I Resolve" - Week 1


Lelly's challenge this month: i love a new year. i love the chance to start over. and i know you do, too!! so, if you've been absent from spt, or if you haven't gotten up the nerve to link up, or if you are lurking and haven't yet picked up that camera, now is the time to come along! how about you make a resolution to join in the fun?

tuesday, january 6 i resolve to take more self-portraits
tuesday, january 13 i resolve to take more self-portraits with people i love
tuesday, january 20 i resolve to take more self-portraits while trying new things
tuesday, january 27 i resolve to take more self-portraits doing things i enjoy

Yes, this is a new year and I resolve to take more self-portraits in 2009! As a matter of fact, I snapped this picture while waiting in the car on New Year's Day. My first self-portrait of the new year...


Wishing you all the best in 2009!

Hi Linda,

I don't know how I missed your post from yesterday, but I just read it and it was so touching! Looks like you and I share some common emotions when it comes to our girls. You're so right, as they get older, you long for the days when they were young and you were the center of their existence. Brittany will be heading off to college next year AND, we'll be facing a move to another state. It's going to be so tough, but I'll have to get through it one way or another. Just know that I'm thinking about you and I hope and pray that today will be a better day.

What a great idea to take self-portraits! If I can just remember to do it!!! :)

I am so bad at self portraits - I never like any pictures of myself! I will try though!

I'm not fond of the way I look now that I've "aged"...haha! I may embark on this challenge, though, just to step out of my comfort zone.

Hope you have a great day!!

Great way to start off 2009 with a self portrait! You have such a pretty smile.

I love self portraiture! I always laugh a little, however, when I'm taking a SP with one of my kids or a friend in a public place, and someone stops and offers to take the picture for me. SPs have a certain look that just isn't the same as a photo that someone else took--I mean, it wouldn't be a SELF portrait if someone else took the photo. Does that make sense?

I convinced my family to do a group SP at a public ice skating rink last night--progress!

Hi Linda,
That is a great SP and that sounds like fun. I'll have to try it and live outside of my little box:)

You look so cute and happy:)

You are so cute. Good for you to get this done. I always plan on doing one, but don't seem to get around to it, if you can understand. Happy New Year. M

I hardly have any photo's of me. The only ones are taken by my dad or sister. My husband never takes photo's of me, course he is a landscaper person, so I can't really say much.

Cute photo!

Hi, Linda! when you came by yesterday, I didn't see your picture so I thought you were a different Linda! I don't feel like I "officially' welcomed you so let me do so now! :> You're welcome on my porch anytime, girl!

Great SPT.. I swear I don't even know how Tuesday got away from me. I was going to do SPT starting this month. And now it's Turhsday & almost over...

Darlene said...

Hi Linda....sounds like your New Year started out a bit bad with being sick but I hope it gets much, MUCH better!

valerie said...

That's a very good picture Linda.
I was getting so tickled at myself one day recently because I was trying to take my picture.
I bet I took 20 trying to get a decent one.
My daughter was at my house and finally I just asked her to take it.
