when the tide turns...


i dodge

i try to hide

i don't like my picture taken (yes, yes, Karen...no whining!)

the other day, my son of 10 yrs. old says "Mama!!  don't take my picture"

well, he's too cute not to, so "too bad" was my response

then he says "why don't you post YOUR picture"

busted


so just to show him I am not afraid of my picture taken alone, without a child in my arms or them wrapped around me.....



when I take a picture with someone (such as one of my children) the focus is on them and not me...

like I have said before...it's worse than hearing my voice on the answering machine!!

enjoy your day

even though you were subjected to seeing my picture
(and yes...you see correctly!  I'm in the sale barn putting up branches...doesn't nature make the best decorations??)

xo+blessings,
p.s. hotel information will be posted up on the website today for those of you coming to the sale and art classes

  1. It's a gorgeous picture. You look like your having a great day.

    The voice on the answering machine...LOL. I was recently watching a video of myself....horrified not only by the way I looked, but my voice...

  3. How sweet! You are too pretty to no want your photo taken! But I understand because I'm the same way (including my voice on the answering machine).

  5. Great picture. I, too, am the same way. I don't like my picture taken either. Although, thinking about it, we should take pictures of ourselves for our children later on in life. I'm sure they'd be heartbroken if they couldn't find any pictures of mom in her 'younger' days. I have no pictures of my mom by herself. Kind of sad really.

  21. Take lots of photos of yourself, and yourself with your children...I could only find one photo each of myself with my children as babies...I cried...and I cried, to think I took so many, of the babies and the babies with their father...as I only have one myself of me as a baby with my father...and I have gone and done the same thing to my children...so, no, dont be shy around the camera....I now have those three precious photos of me and my children in my arms in a special frame on my mantle in the bedroom , I look at them each night and am thankful that I at least have those three..........xx ps, I think you are beautiful inside and out.......good luck with the setting up for the next event...as always, wish so much I could attend ,they just seem wonderful....Suzanne
