This is an archived photo and for any of you that received a Christmas Card from Jack and I this year you probably recognize the picture. I LOVE this picture. I love that Cookie's head looks ginormous! I love the way they both have their heads resting on their hands. I love that it is Christmas time (see the stockings?) and I love Jack's shaggy hair. I do wish that we had a sheet on the hide-a-bed - but we were all so excited to get the new couch that we opened it up right away and tried it out.
I really like black and white photos. I hardly ever shoot in black and white mode on my camera - but I love converting pictures - especially pictures that maybe just need a bit of help on their clarity or to tone down the clutter - I have 2 huge flower photographs that I took a long time ago that we converted to black and white and hung up in the room in this picture. I am definitely a fan!
So on the 2nd to last day of the challenge I have to say I am SOO glad I did this. Wish I really could have finished it in 30 days - but it has been a lot of fun. I think that the last day is another self portrait...I don't really feel that much differently about having my picture taken than I did 35 days ago - but I will suck it up and hopefully take one today sometime. However, I had my picture taken last night while at my friends house - and HOLY CRAP - you would have thought with all the pop I am not drinking and all the candy I am not ingesting that I would be at least a little bit smaller right? Wow - I think it may be having the opposite effect...UNCOOL I say! Hoping that the self portrait I take today will reflect otherwise!
