Webster Dictionary Photo Challenge: Week 2

I have to admit… photo challenges are demanding!  Actually, it probably only feels that way because I spend my day at work, come home to relax, make a delicious supper, pop a cork on a bottle of our homemade wine AND then realize that I have forgotten to post my photo & it’s already 8 o’clock. 
  

 

Supper has become lukewarm and my wine lost its chill, but both Kayc & I took some great photos this week!

This week I’m also highlighting four of our photos in the categories of emotional, humor, literal & beautiful!

 

Day #13: Gluten! Ahhh..gluten, how I do miss you!  Having an intolerance doesn’t even compare to those who have Celiac Disease, but I want jump inside this photo to have a sip and take a bite! This photo wins the emotional award of the week!

Day #11: Aesop Fables! Seriously, Bo Jangles lives the life of luxury.  Sleep all day, sleep all night & steal, steal, steal!  I still find him creepy & most certainly not adorable, but he knows how to find his light & pose!  This photo wins the humor award for the week!

Day #15: Trading Cards! This was a tough choice.  We both are in love with sports fans!  However, my husband has a collection of 15,000 cards of various sports & players all tucked away in tubs or in piles. This photo wins the literal photo of the week!

As I was typing this post, I casually asked my husband about how many Jerry Rice cards that he did have.  His response was, “Probably 30 or so.”  I then when back to typing, he disappeared.  Minutes later he returned with a binder… he in fact has 72 in a book, but informed me "that there are more somewhere in cases."

P.S. He’s willing to make a deal!

Day 10: Loud! Everyone who knows me will agree that I have two loves in my life… nail polish and books!  Colors and nail designs help me express myself loudly & books take me to those worlds that are far, far away!  This picture wins the beautiful photo of the week!!

X. Glitz & Glam

This weeks challenge is something fun, different and just for you! 

Because of what this week holds, if you will accept, I challenge you to a Glitz & Glam makeover!

One may question what exactly is a Glitz & Glam makeover. This week is your birthday week. It is also the 'end of the world', and the shortest day of the year. Being who we are (Carlson's -- because even though you changed your last names, doesn't mean you can change your roots), we always look for the best deal, and a way to get the biggest bang for our buck. So this birthday season I challenge you to take $100 and try to find yourself a COMPLETE birthday/end of the world/shortest day of the year outfit so that you can celebrate with true Glitz & Glam.

So shop wisely, use your fashion meter, but more importantly, just take sometime to go out and have a fun little stress free shopping spree where you get to focus on your big day! 

CHALLENGE DETAILS:

Inspiration: Every reason needed to buy a new outfit

Medium: $100 to be designated to the perfect Birthday Outfit

Deadline: Sunday 12/23/12 11:59pm -- though your birthday is on Friday --- so maybe Friday should be your deadline ;)

VIIII. ELVES RESULTS

So there was many ways I could have taken this. Sure I thought about cleaning out the cob webs and working on my writing skills with a new holiday poem to send home, but I just couldn't resist the urge to lock in on the tradition of the ELF ON THE SHELF!

The creativity for this challenge came not so much in the plotting and gathering of my elf but figuring out what mischievous activity she will do each day. My elf has been named Idella, for the mere reason that Grandma Idella was a spunky one. She was a firecracker, a mischievous wonder and always fun to play games with. And as the purpose of Elf On The Shelf, she is watching us and reporting back to Santa about our behaviors. Just a fun way to get into the spirit of Christmas. 

So here's a list of all the activities that Idella has been spotted doing...

Of course -- she will continue to battle her way thru our house until Christmas morning. We can only hope she continues to bring laughter to the house full of fun.
