Scavenger Hunt Sunday:

• Side-lighting: Ok, I think I might have mentioned it before… But, I’m sort of afraid of partial shadows when I photograph! I’m not quite sure how to deal with them. BUT, Ashley said we have to challenge ourselves… blah blah blah… ;D

• Jack ‘o Lantern

• Faces in nature: I see a face. 🙂 This is frozen steak by the way.

• Sunset: Uhhhh…. apparently I forgot to take a photo of a sunset. Oops. Hopefully Ashley wont ban me from her blog. 🙂

• Warm: Warm day in October!

Could ya spare a couple clicks? The numbers have been reset! They may not show yet, but they have! Yay! I would VERY much appreciate it! I really want to be in the top 25 this time around. Please?

I’m already setting up a giveaway to post later today to my Paper Mama shop. BUT, if I can get to the top 25 and stay in it through Monday I will do a second giveaway! A LARGER giveaway! Who wants a tattooed baby? 😀
