Entering - Portrait

Entering again at: Shine Your Glory Down

Topic/Theme - Portrait. 

This is my littlest brother Scout! I love this expression and "pose". (even though I never told him to do that) The sun behind him is perfect, so I thought I'd enter this picture.

It's happening right here at Shine Your Glory Down!

New Deadline & Update

**PHOTO CHALLENGE ENTREES... PLEASE READ!**

Hey bloggers! I am so excited about the response I got from my Photo Challenge. You all are great at photography & your entries are fantastic!

In order to get my winners hooked up with a brand new blog design, I need the deadline to be sooner. Since I'll be heading back to school next week!

So the new deadline is: Monday, August 20th!
I'll be reminding people who want to enter and haven't yet about this new deadline. If anyone else would like to, then just update your blog post about it. :)

A little update:

I'll be picking 5 finalist, and 3 winners! I just had to switch it up, since there is no way I could pick between just one picture! Each winner will get a new blog design! (if they choose; or other prize) The 2 finalist that don't make it into the top, will get a special mention about their blogs (including their pictures) right here! And everyone's picture will be featured on my blog. :)

Thank you!!!

*Update* Photo Challenge

Did I mention there was a prize?!?!

I didn't?! 

Oh well... then you're all in for a treat!

The prize of my first time ever Photo Challenge on Small Town Girl will be...

*drum roll please*

A blog design by yours truly! :)

Thinking you need some sprucing up? I can find the right stuff to make your blog look perfect! And if you don't want a new blog design, then we'll come up with a different prize.

Keep the entries coming!

Photo Challenge

I'm entering Brooke's Photo Challenge! I absolutely love this picture, and thought that it couldn't hurt to at least try and enter. :) This is my littlest sister, she is from Ethiopia, Africa. A family who traveled with my parents adopted this little boy from a different orphanage. We live about 4 hours away from them, so it's fun to have little reunions ever once and a while. This was when they came to visit us, at our house. :)

Her rules:
1. The picture MUST be of a child.
2. To enter, put your photo in a post on your blog, link back to me, then post your link to your post in a comment on my blog.
3. If you do not have a blog and wish to enter, email me the picture at brooke.stutzman2@gmail.com.
4. Enter only one photo per entry.
5. Editing is allowed.:] 
6. You must be a follower of my blog via GFC.
7. The deadline to enter is the 17th.
8. It must be taken by you.
