May Photo A Day Challenge – Your Personality

Day 30 – Your Personality

DSC01544

I’ve been told that this painting captures my personality. My question is, what personality is that? I think it would be fun to see what personality trait you think this picture is. Leave me a comment below! :)

May Photo A Day Challenge – Days 17 – 29 :)

Well I warned you all when I started this that I was probably, most likely, going to get behind on posting my pictures… you were warned! :) here are days 17 – 29 sorry its going to be a long post but there’s lots to look at and I hope you enjoy it :)

Day 17 – Snack

DSC01687 Day 18 – Something You Made

DSC01707 I used my Cricut to make the letters and glued them on this canvas – now I just need to get it hung in the laundry room…

Day 19 – A Favorite Place

DSC01689 This sits in my living room on the cedar chest. I love to travel but there is nothing I like more than coming home :) by the way the sign reads “love at home” the squiggly is smoke coming out of the chimney not an “e”

Day 20 – Something you can’t live without.

DSC01715 This was a hard one for me because there are not a lot of things I think I can’t live without there are several things I wouldn’t want to live without and this is one – our my tea pot

Day 21 – Where You stand

DSC01708 I feel like I stand here a lot! Especially since there are only two of us :/ Any ways I would rather stand here than at the sink doing dishes and since Kenny prefers dishes to laundry… it works.

Day 22 Pink

Day 23 – Technology

DSC01710 I am not a “tech-y” but my phone broke and I didn’t have time to go down to Hickory to exchange my phone, so Kenny did it for me. I don’t even know how to use half of the things this phone can do… :/ oh well!

Day 24 – Something New

DSC01712 A check stub! In case you haven’t heard, I am no longer a barber but instead I am a North Carolina State employee! :) I work in the Senior Center cooking meals for over 150 people every week day.

Day 25 – Unusual

DSC01723 Its no secret that Kenny and I are trying to save money to eventually buy a house, well, one of our highest bills each month is electricity so…. I made my own clothes line on our front porch… with extension cords :) Don’t worry, I plan on buying a real clothes line and putting it some other place than the front porch very soon, I just haven’t made it to the store yet.

Day 26 – 12 O’ Clock

Day 27 – Something Sweet

DSC01719 Sweet Iced Tea

May Photo A Day Challenge – What your reading

Sorry to disappoint but I’m not a big reader :/ I read my Bible and a couple blogs and the mail… :)

May Photo A Day Challenge - Mum

I do have a picture of my Mom but… its on someone else’s camera :/ but here are the pictures of different “Mum’s” in our church.

DSC01659 Ivalee is our oldest mother at 86

DSC01660 

Jo is our youngest mother at 28

DSC01661 

Jean is themother with the most children, she has 6.

DSC01662 

Chastity has 5 children but she got her flowers because she is our newest mother – she has a two week old boy.

DSC01663 

Mrs. Jackie is our honorary mother this year. The last two years our honorary mothers did not have any children but they have a large part in our children’s ministry. This year we gave that award to Mrs. Jackie, she has two children of her own but she has opened her doors to help several children who need to know love and hear the gospel. Every Sunday Mrs. Jackie walks in to church with at least two children she’s “adopted.” That’s quite a mother :)

May Photo A Day Challenge – A Smell You Adore

Day 8 – A Smell You Adore

DSC01623 Kenny thought I should put his picture up here for today but he doesn’t always smell so nice so… :) I’m a candle fan, and for my candle scents of choice – Vanilla, Mulled Cider, Buttered Rum, Cookie, Cinnamon, basically anything that smells or relates to food! One thing I adore is walking into my house and it smelling like something is in the oven – its a very home-y, inviting smell for me.

What’s your favorite scents?

May Photo A Day Challenge - You

Day 6 – You

DSC01613

This isn’t a picture of me but rather who I want to be. Last year before Kenny and I got married I stumbled upon “Revive Our Hearts – The Counter-cultural Woman” series. I was so blessed, encouraged and convicted about being a godly wife and future mother that I decided I would go back each year and do some kind of study on the Proverbs 31 woman for our wedding anniversary. Its hard to believe that Kenny and I will celebrate our 1st anniversary in less than a month! So needless to say this passage of scripture has been steady on my mind and heart. I am learning to love this woman and slowly realizing that God didn’t put her in our Bible to make us feel guilty about what we are not doing, but to show us that her actions were done in love, a love for her family, for those around her and, most importantly a love for her God – my God. If you get the chance I hope you’ll go and read about her, she’s an amazing woman!

May Photo A Day Challenge – Something you wore today

Day 3 – Something you wore today

DSC01603

All you get today is a picture of my shirt… I took several shots this morning and didn’t like any that showed my face (I always look goofy when I take a self portrait, plus trying to get my outfit in the picture…) Any ways this shirt was a hand-me-down (which I love getting because I don’t have to pay for it), its cute and, believe it or not, when I’m cutting hair this shirt repels the hairs, so its perfect for working in the barbershop! (which is what I’m doing today)

So there you have it :) Something I am wearing today.

May Photo A Day Challenge

Any one who has followed my blog for very long can tell you I’m not the most consistent blogger. Entering in this challenge really will be a challenge for me if for no other reason than simply getting my posts in each day! You can read all about this challenge and the “prompt words” for each day at Fat Mum Slim.

Day 1 – Peace

DSC01565 

My “peace” picture is inspired by a couple songs we sing at church one is called “I’ve Got Peace Like a River” – its a kids song – and the other is “By The Still Waters of Peace.”

The picture below is the same river as the one above but it was taken yesterday after a major storm.
