SPT--I Will Remember You

Lelly's challenge: so, for next week, a simple challenge. take a few moments to take a great self-portrait. fix your hair, freshen your lipstick, wear your favorite shirt. get outside, or stay inside, but take the time to find a shot that you love. i want to see beautiful photos of my beautiful friends, something to remember you all by as i wade through the next few months.

I took this picture as I was rushing out the door for church on Sunday morning (hence the black strap of my church bag over my shoulder). This isn't my favorite shirt or even a good picture of me, but I don't know when I'll get this SPT done if I don't post this.

I think I look noticeably different in this picture and not in a good way. What's going on? Maybe I need to wear more make-up. It's a weird thing to see aging happening before my eyes. Ugh.

I don't know what you're talking about, I think it is a good picture! But I definitely know what you mean about aging before your eyes -- I hate it.

I am starting to see my own aging here and there- it is weird! You look like you are glowing- not a bad picture if you ask me.

I didn't do SPT this week...maybe I was just rebelling against Lelly's self imposed SPT hiatus. Ha!

And to find out it was all just a joke...thank goodness!

Really no SPT because we are on the road traveling...now maybe I'll just make it up today.

I like your photo- But I know what you mean. I did do this spt, and took lots of photos,trying to get just the right one. Then I just decided to do a funny one for April fools. Much easier- I think we are all over critical of ourselves.
I was glad to see the Lelly's was just a joke, and that my made up photo would fit in.

Love the post and the picture. I should have taken one on Sunday too, but I forgot. I never took one this weekend because I didn't want to have to retake and retake pictures trying to get a good one. I was sure fooled with the spt challenge.

I don't think it is a bad picture...your eyes especially are a beautiful color!

I did this SPT but I didn't wear my favorite shirt or get all gussied up either...

i think your eyes look beautiful in this photo! and the church bag is a great accessory - a good vision of all that is going on in your life right now.

You look beautiful! You have very pretty eyes & a nice complexion... It's so hard to take your own picture, it just feels like the camera is looking at all your flaws. But only you see them, to everyone else your gorgeous!!!

I ditto Michelle, I think that is a great photo of you. I do notice that the more SPT I take of my self how much more critical I have become of my face though.

jenn said...

I like this picture- it does have a different look than others but is still very you.

crystal said...

Maybe it just looks different because you are on your way to church for this one...you've got The Church Look--all gussied up & fabulous.

Aging is strange. I'm a 21-yr old spirit, stuck with 35-yr old skin.

I see aging happening before my eyes (to my eyes) every day. I hate it. I keep wondering where the magic cream is that is going to take away all my wrinkles. Oh, there isn't any. UGH.

You look great Jill! Every year at Christmas I notice more and more lines. What to do?

I did do this SPT. I just haven't posted yet.

Amy said...

I think you look GREAT in the picture!

Amie said...

I did the spt but I didn't really think it portrayed the assignment very well... I didn't end up looking fixed up at all.

I totally get the aging thing....

Hmmm, Self Purpose Tuesday. Much more significant, I like it.
