RUSH Day at the Bloggerette Sorority!

It's here!

RUSH day for members of the Bloggerette Sorority!

This group is the brain child of Karen of Some Days are Diamonds. She has a listing on her sidebar of all of the bloggers who are joining together to celebrate the blogging Sisterhood. If you're a blogger and would like to join, it's not too late. Follow the link from the badge on my left sidebar and see how to join--it's easy!

But for Rush Day, we Sisters had an assignment, to take this "Sisters" picture...

...and make something pretty with it, then put a picture on our blog of ourselves with our creation.

Now it just so happens that I'm in Georgia with my husband for the summer, but all of my crafting "pretties" are at home in Louisiana. So I have no ribbons, or flowers, or beads, or buttons or anything fun to play with. I racked my brain to think of something I could do that didn't involve buying out the craft section of JoAnn's, and decided to play around with my Home Publisher program on my computer, and...


...this is what I came up with for a final presentation.

And then came the hardest part---trying to take a picture of myself with my "Sisterhood" picture...

...so I stood in front of a mirror holding my creation and snapped...

..and snapped...

and made some adjustments, and snapped...


...and snapped...

...and snapped!

Then I got the bright idea to tape the picture to the mirror and take a picture of me taking a picture of the picture...

...Hmmm...

...all these settings on this camera must mean something...

..maybe this one...

...or maybe not!

At any rate, that's my Rush Day self-portrait--sort of!


And now more about me--I was born and raised in Louisiana, and lived there most of my adult life. Several years ago my husband (of 26 years now!) took a job that requires him to travel from project to project. At times I've been "home alone" holding down the home front, but I've been blessed to be able to join him at several of his sites, so in the last four years I've lived in Alaska, Colorado, and Georgia, with some brief (and sometimes not-so-brief) stints back at home. Georgia has been the longest project so far, and in the last two years I've traveled back and forth between here and home 11 times. I'm not super creative, but I do like to dabble in arts-and-crafts, decorating, cooking, couponing, and all kinds of other things. I have a food blog, Secrets of a Southern Kitchen--I'd love for you "sisters" to join me there, as well. 

Thanks to all of you Bloggerette Sisters who may drop by today--I hope to eventually get around to visiting each of you.

And to my regular readers--be sure to click over to Some Days Are Diamonds and visit some of the other Bloggerette Sisters--they're a creative bunch, and I can't wait to meet each of them!

Until next time...
