First off, wanted to say for my regular readers ... if you were worried about the train photo, don't be. I didn't put any more attention into taking that photo than I would have changing the radio station or turning on the A.C. I had my camera ready before I left the parking lot from work. I didn't look at what I was shooting at all - just pointed the camera in the general direction of the passenger window and clicked the button! Several times. And I got lucky and ONE photo actually caught the train! So no lives were ever at risk for the taking of that photo. :)
The August assignment for One Little Word was simply to take a self portrait and add a few words. Here's mine:
I printed this 5x7 to add to my album, and then, for the back side, created this:

Glad to hear I'm not the only one grateful for the break in August - life was hectic here too.
ReplyDeleteI like check marks rather than stars myself but both work :) Oh - and I considered the colour of the walls as backdrops when we painted too :lol:
Didn't manage to join the hop this month but did post my photo.

I always think the start of school is stressful. Moving both girls...that had to make it even moreso for you. I love the self portrait.
ReplyDeleteI love the chart idea. I've tried tracking things like this a couple of different ways and never found a good way to do it. Maybe I'll try this! Good for you for every single one of those check marks!
Your August chart is impressive! Love the self-portrait.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love what you added to the back of your pic.
ReplyDeleteI've actually been thinking of my OLW a lot lately. It's "home" and I've been focusing on family, purging the house and finding my artistic home. The family and art have really been my focus the last two months, but in Sept. I want to get back to some purging.

Life is busy in the summer. I think we all try to cram as much as possible in before school starts and we are busy in a different way. Great picture. I really like that you added some of Augusts highlights to the back. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteI missed the hop, but posted anyway.

Wow. What an amazing amount of change you have been through! You crack me up with wanting to paint to get a better photo background. :) Great job on the self-portrait!
ReplyDeleteA lot of changes,Cheri...a bit of adjustment this coming month I would think.
ReplyDeleteDD1 would definately challenge that remark about Sarah's bedroom!
It's a beautiful blue though - I really like it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of change - hope you are treating yourself gently throughout
Too true - you ARE worthy! And that's a lot of ticks on your list, yay you :)
ReplyDeleteGreat portrait and I really like the words you picked. As always I love your charts.
ReplyDeleteGreat self-portrait! I'm impressed with the check marks in the execise column despite the busy month - way to go. Let's plan a walking break for next Saturday so you can have a check mark that day - what do you think?
ReplyDeleteSo funny, as I was admiring that great self-portrait I thought, "I love the color of the wall behind her..." ;o)
ReplyDeleteI always know that I'll be impressed when I land on your blog every month, Cheri! BIG congrats on your DT and here's to a month still filled with big things but maybe a bit more time to breath :)
