After a summer long hiatus I’m ready to jump back in to the I ♥ Faces weekly challenges. This week’s theme is ‘Nostalgia.’ The photo needs to bring back a nostalgic feeling for the photographer. I could do a lot of farm photos as that is very nostalgic but decided instead to do something that […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 24 Let’s Hear it For the Boys
The Band-Aid Bandit This little guy just cracks me up. He begged for weeks for us to get him a cowboy hat. He’d go up to his dad and very sweetly and solemnly say, “You have a cowboy hat. Cousin David has a cowboy hat,” and then shaking his head slowly while looking very sad, […]
I ♥ Faces Adult: Week 23 Sepia
Back in April the calves needed to be branded, ear marked, and vaccinated. I wasn’t able to take many pictures because Special Dark is deathly afraid of cows. Every time they bellar he jumps. He was shaking the whole time we were there. Poor little guy! I did get some roping action but I like […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 23 Sepia
One great thing about living out in the country is getting to ride horses, though my girls claim it is not often enough. This particular horse is named Poco. The theme this week is sepia at I ♥ Faces so I decided to go “western” with my pictures. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC […]
I ♥ Faces Reader’s Choice
A few weeks back I ♥ Faces ran a contest calling everyone to enter their best face photo. The best ones would be picked for publication in an I ♥ Faces Blurb Book. Well, guess what? My entry of my Father-In-Law has been chosen for the book! And guess what else? It has also been […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 21
Lots of celebrating going on at I ♥ Faces this week. Here’s my “oh-so-lucky-to-push-the-button-at-the-right-time” photo. Thank goodness there was another pinata waiting to get hit so more kids could join in on the fun! © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 20 Silhouettes
This week is all about silhouettes at I ♥ Faces. I immediately knew the perfect photo to use from my archives. This was taken two years ago when Special Dark was still crawling around. He was getting tired of all the picture taking and promptly started to cry. All six older sisters jumped up to […]
I ♥ Faces Week 19 Blurb Book Contest
I ♥ Faces is publishing a Blurb Book all about faces and the expressions that we make. The entries this week will all be considered for the book. For this week only we are allowed to enter a picture that has previously been entered in any of the I ♥ Faces challenges. It needs to […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 18 Laughter
So hard to narrow down all the laughing pictures of my kids. I couldn’t resist the missing teeth in this one though. These two girls are such good friends they are always laughing about something! (I ventured from my usual straight out of camera shot and did some post processing with picnik) Visit I ♥ […]
I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 18 Laughter
I know I’ve posted this picture several times for various posts on this blog but I just couldn’t find any good laughing adult photos that wouldn’t embarrass my relations. ☺ Visit I ♥ Faces for other laughing photos. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 17 HATS
Saturday we had all the girl cousins over for a Kentucky Derby party. Before the race they each made their own fancy hats out of wrapping paper. It was so cute to see them all wearing their hats while watching the race and cheering. Of course, our personal favorite was Chocolate Candy. 😀 Head on […]
I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 16 Reflections
You’re stuck with the standard reflection in the mirror for this week’s I ♥ Faces challenge. Couldn’t get any good shots of other things I was thinking of…and that’s what I get for waiting until Tuesday afternoon to even start! © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all rights reserved
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 16 Reflections
The photos this week need to have a reflection of a face in them. During breakfast one of the girls asked why her reflection in the spoon was upside down on one side and right side up on the other. Bingo! The idea for this week’s kids entry was born. And yes, our spoons are […]
I ♥ Faces Adult: Week 15 Self Portrait
Yikes! The theme this week is self-portrait with the stipulation that we must be holding the camera – no tripod use or placing the camera on something else. I headed to my favorite red barn backdrop and started shooting away. It was a lot of fun! The trouble with so many pictures is deciding which […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 15 Self-Portrait
To meet the self-portrait challenge for kids this week we had to take a photo of ourself with a child while holding the camera. No tripods allowed! Here’s me with my little man saying cheese for the camera. Check out other self-portrait shots at I ♥ Faces. © 2007-2013 Chocolate on my Cranium, LLC all […]
