Amazing Canon 5D Mark II Give-A-Way!

You've got to go to

Give-a-Way!

A Canon 5D Mark II.... woot woot!

A full-framed camera.... what would I do with it? I'd find a give-a-way for a good L series lens and win that too, and go to town with both items, lol!

I have really enjoyed
it's a great place to hang out. I like her style of shooting as well as her personality. I love when you stumble upon blogs/sites written by people that you JUST know you'd be buddies with if you ended up in the same town.

And I love her reason for doing the Give-A-Way. What a testimony!

I sure do hope I win, but hey, even if I don't, I'll be ok ;-)

New Photography Challenge

I joined a new photography challenge group this week.
It's sponsored by Sarah at
My Four Little Hens Photography

She has a group on Flickr you can follow, or else you can follow her on Facebook. 

She will be posting a weekly theme. Those who join the challenge will post their weekly photo on Flickr or Facebook.
Her theme for the first week of Janaury was
Resolutions.

Here's my photo I submitted....


My resolution is to be a good steward with the 3 most important gifts we humans are given...
my faith, my family, my time.

It is my goal to post each weekly picture on my blog. 

What's your resolution?

Really.... I probably have a list twice as long as last years but haven't written it down yet1

Amazed...

For a long time, I entered pix into the Pioneer Woman's photo contests. I finally gave up, because it seemed one needed to be a professional photographer and have an amazing blog to be chosen to be posted on her site as some of her favs.  I  was reading her blog before Father's Day, and noticed she was having a contest. So... I entered the picture of my hubby and kids, taken last year, where they are all kissing him.  That was the last I thought about it.  Last night, I was messing around on the 'net, and decided to look at MCP action photos for the week.  I looked briefly, then looked at my account. I noticed my photo of McGyver and kids had a lot of hits (over 600) and a few comments. One of the comments mentioned she had seen this on PDub's site. I'll tell you - it took me a minute to process that!  Then I checked and lo & behold, there it was! Not the finalist, but one of the ones featured.  ;-)
