30-Day Self-Portrait Challenge: Day 1
(Day off and going to run some errands)
In this challenge I hope to capture pictures of myself in the daily activities of my life while learning about “lighting, angles, color, composition and posing.” Photography concepts Elsie & Emma learned themselves by taking self-portraits. And, it will be a big plus because my fireman isn’t always around or eager for that matter to take pictures of me for my blog.
I’m looking forward to this challenge and looking back at all the pictures taken.
From All of Us Card: Band-Aid Kit
The next member to leave the Cinemark theater family, where I work, is Hailey. Hailey will be a senior this coming school year and will start her internship at a convalescent home as well. As always, when an employee gives their two weeks notice I try to make a special good-bye card just for them.
Since Hailey’s internship deals with caring for others I decided to make her a Band-Aid kit card. All the employees wrote special messages on pink paper cutout band-aids with colorful markers and some drew fun designs on the back of them. I got the band-aids laminated and put them into a Band-Aid kit I got at the 99 cent store, along with the real Band-Aids inside. On the inside of the lid box I wrote, “Hailey’s Boo Boo Kit. So when you get hurt caring for others” with a picture of a smiling band-aid saying, “I feel better” in a thought bubble, on sticker paper.
Hailey’s coworkers wrote encouraging and special messages on the pink paper band-aids. Only if real band-aids had messages like that, I think people boo boos would feel better soon.
This card is a great idea for an individual graduating from nursing school, a caregiver, a mother of a child who is accident-prone, or even a baby sitter.

Join The Force
On Saturday, July 13, my coworker Kristal and I will be running for Course of the Force marathon to help earn money for Make-A-Wish Foundation. This awesome cause could not make wishes come true is it wasn’t for the caring people (the force) that help support Make-A-Wish.
If you would like to donate to Make-A-Wish or just help spread the word, click here, and include a link to our fundraising page. 100% of the proceeds go to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
This is a Star Wars themed marathon so Kristal and I are making homemade Star Wars costumes with tutus. Kristal will be R2D2 and I will go to the dark side as Darth Vader.
Thanks for your generosity and may the force be with you!
