March Photo Challenge-- 10 Things About Me

Graham of One Man's Travel's fame has made a comeback. First of all I would like to welcome him back to the blogoshere second Here is the challenge as stated by Graham.


The challenge for this month is to take 10 photographs (Yup, I said 10... we have a lot of catching up to do!) that represent you / things about you / your personality / likes / dislikes... I think ya catch my drift. Against each one, you need to write a comment to explain what is says about you.
Now, if you find the challange too difficult, I will allow you to dig into your photo archives for some of the photos if necessary (however, at least one of them must be a new one!).
Guidelines Just to recap, the guidelines for the challenge are as follows:
1) Take a set of photographs that in some way, manner or form represents the theme of "10 things about me". You are welcome to use your artistic touch to manipulate the photographs using a photopackage such as photoshop. Be as creative as you desire!!! You are even welcome to submit a video clip, if that is your preferred media.
2) Include a brief explanation of how the photograph(s) relate to the theme. The photograph doesn't need to be outside, it can be of somebody or of something around the home.... it just needs to represent the theme of the month.
3) When you have posted your challenge, be sure to send me a link so that I can include it on my "The '10 Things About Me' Challenge Entry" post at the end of the month!
4) You want to join in with the challenge but don't have a blog or website to display your photograph on?
No problem, either:

a)Just email me copy of the image, along with your name and a brief description of how the photograph(s) relate to the theme. I will then include your entry on my "10 Things About Me Challenge Entry" post at the end of the month!!!
b)Join up to a photo storage site like Redbubble or http://www.flickr.com/and upload your photograph, then leave a link to the photograph in the comments box on this post.

So here are my photo's for the challenge:

I love candles and I somewhat collect them.



I have 3 tattoos

I have been working on scrapbooks for my parents.


My kids and hubby are the biggest part of who I am.



I'm making placemat sets for Christmas gifts this year (4 placemats,4 coasters and 2 hot pads).

I love to go camping and fishing.


These are old drawings but I do still draw on occassions.


I attend Church regularly.


I love my computer. In this pic I'm playing a POGO game called Crazy Cakes!


This is a pic of a filled in pothole. I took this one because anytime I see or smell fresh asphalt I have flashbacks to when I was 7 years old and fell in some and burnt both of my legs from my toes to my hips. I had 1st to 2nd degree burns and almost lost my little toe.

Random Thoughts

Where & what I've been doing latley is playing on 2 of my favorite websites Cafemom & Pogo. I'm so addicted to these websites. Cafemom is a website for mom's with several different types of groups to participate in or just blog. I have several wonderful friends from all over on this site. (Blogger is still top of my list also) . Pogo is a place to play all kinds of games. They have free games and a membership where you get no intermissions and weekly challenges for badges on the games.

Yesterday I cleaned the living room and did laundry. The only thing is to clean and I mean pull out furniture and such (spring clean) I have to piss myself off. Go figure. I tend to to my best cleaning that way. All I can think of is that it stems back to my mom. I would get angry at her or just angry in general and instead of punching walls like I used to do( still do on occassions) I would clean. Now if I want to really clean up I can piss myself off at will to do it. Well I managed this yesterday but I was trying to distract myself from our situation. I can't help but be scared.

On another note this past friday I had a Mardi Gras themed Partylite party. I got beads for everyone, made a chicken cheeseball, got some cookies and made my first King Cake. Then only 3 people showed up (I wasn't surprised). Those of us that were there had fun.
This is a pic of the king cake I made. LOL . Anyway it's been a busy and stressful week. Tell you more later on.

Calgon Take Me Away

I'm having a hard time sleeping because i'm scared. I'm worried about one of my friends who is in premature labor right now and we just found out that Randy is on the list to be laid off by next Friday. I know we can get thru this but with the economy and jobs the way they are it isn't going to easy. What all can we do, my job is only part time (less than 20 hours) and it isn't secure at all. I'm trying to have faith but it seems so difficult at times. Well I don't want to bore you with all of our problems I just needed to get it out of my system. I'm beginning to think I will never relax again. :(


*Update: she lost her baby this morning*
