everyone else is doing it...

so i'll have my the ego has landed moment.


here it is... the new moda bake shop ad.
that's me. top left.

i'm a brave girl to use my own picture... and not a project... i know.


the pioneer woman just published her first cookbook and blogged about it and getting the right cover pic....

it's not easy.


over the year's i've asked my brother to take a good pic of me.
and he's taken a lot.
but when we "plan" them... well lets just say often a mess is what we get.
{usually a laughing one}
i'm kinda a goofball... and ham it up a bit.


like this try...


or snaps like this...

or graduation pics... {my profile pic}



until this one.
we were at our cousin's wedding... and sitting waiting for food...
and brad said... "look this way"
i turned... he snapped...

and i don't hate it.
which is big...

because it was the first pic in years that i liked... and wasn't laughing...


so there you go.
my 15 minutes of fame.
in print.
;-)


side note {the pic isn't touched up.. cause that's the kinda gal i am. i don't wear makeup often... chapstick in the above pic.. and i'm ok with my flaws.. cause nobody's perfect.}

Great pictures...and congrats! How fun that the one you love best is just a casual shot your brother took!

Dresden Quilter said...

Congratulations! You will definitely have more than 15 minutes of fame. It is a beautiful picture of you.

Audrie said...

Congratulations :) I tend to like the candid shots of me too... I think once I think about the camera too much, it all goes pear-shaped.

Little Lady Patchwork said...

I love it! I also love the fact that you are au naturale. I am the same way, chap stick only.

QUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DI said...

great photo--I also have a hard time with getting my picture taken--the camera just doesn't like me!!!! I also go "natural" now--used to be a Mary Kay gal---but then along came an illness and not you get to see the al-natural look--but I have grown to like it and wouldn;t go back to the other "stuff" even if I could--so you are way ahead of me--keep stitching--hugs, just, Di

wishes, true and kind said...
