I Heart Faces: Favorite face

This week over at I Heart Faces is all about picking your favorite face from 2010. I'm sure you all probably know which face I chose.....

Yup... My sad little Ms. Poodle. Poor child. So tortured. :D As sad as this face is... I know it went away immediately after I took that costume off.

STAY TUNED: The Valentines photo challenge will be starting on Wednesday! I'm changing things up a bit from the Holiday Card/Photo challenge. I felt that maybe everyone might feel like they HAVE to create a card. You don't. What you can enter: a photo with a Valentines theme... a card (with a photo)... or just an altered photo. I don't really mind what you do as long as it is or has a photo in it. :D SO... get brainstorming! I've collected some AWESOME amazing prizes for you all!

Can I get a vote?

Would ya could ya? Vote for me?

AND, the winner of the Paper Mama Halloween Photo challenge is...

This weeks guest judge: 
Tia from: Christopher and Tia.
This weeks challenge:  "Halloween"
The challenge: 
The challenge will be based around your children. Take or find a photo of your baby (or kid... or puppy... or kitty) in their Halloween costumes. OR, if you don't celebrate Halloween... a photo of what you did on October 31st. :D

Happy Halloween!

{Scavenger Hunt item: Something Vintage (the costume is last years vintage ;D)}

We did an early trick or treat here in our town. Our little neighborhood has a Halloween event where all the businesses hand out candy. Ruari was only mildly impressed. ;D

The thing is, it's getting HUGE. It's pretty obvious that more than just our neighborhood is participating now. Which is fine, except.... there aren't that many stores and you have to wait in a LONG line for the treats. I don't know what they'll do next year. They are probably going to need to close down the street. Clear up some of that sidewalk space.

{Scavenger Hunt item: My town}

{Such a cute costume.}

{Some witchy's}

{Scavenger Hunt item: Tilt Shift}

The only time we got a smile from Ruari: when she realized we had Angus (our dog) with us!

{Shutter Love Tuesday and Scavenger Hunt item: Dress up}

By the way, I picked up the cake mix for Ruari's rainbow cake. I know, I know... It's a little early! But, really: the box would probably sit on the shelf just as long as I will be holding onto it. :D Great price. I got two boxes for $6.

{Scavenger Hunt item: Chocolate}

Day 13: A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days.

Hmmm.... I can't think of a specific band... But, lately I'm loving a lot of Band of Horses and Fleet Foxes.

OH, and one more thing: My Pick for Monday:

My new diaper/camera bag from Barely Measured! I can't wait to receive it! Here's a little sneak peak below. Yay! If you want to see more photos of the bag, you can see them on her blog here.

OR, you can get your own custom bag made by clicking the button below!

If you have a teeny bit of time, I'd REALLY love a couple votes. Thank you all SO much! Oh, and I should have the Holiday Card contest up in a day or two! I'm excited!
