Do you remember the self portraits in my kitchen contest I held on my blog last year? No, you probably don’t, because maybe 30 people read my blog back then! haha. I thought it would be a fun little series to bring back, and make it an annual event here on Family Ever After.
What’s even more exciting is that I asked 2 of my absolute favorite blogging friends if they’d like to team up with me, so I’d like to welcome The Letter 4 and It’s Overflowing as the co-hosts! (Both are really interesting and exciting blogs, so check them out if you haven’t yet)! Also, there are awesome prizes on the line, so keep reading for all the details!

PICTURE ME DOMESTIC:
What do you spend your days doing? What do you look like in your home
element? We all spend different amounts of time at home, but at some
point in the day, we are home. The point of this contest is to challenge yourself to take some fun/creative/interesting pictures of yourself doing what you do best. Or most. Or worst. LOL. We just really want to see you having fun, while attending to your life and daily tasks. So again, your challenge is:

3.
Be creative. Use as many different angles, reflections, scenarios as
you can. Hopefully your camera has a self timer because they have to be
taken by you, starring you.

4. You are not being judged on the quality of your pictures. They aren’t required to be technically sound and perfectly edited, although that cannot hurt! We really want to see your creativity.
5. Absolutely NO graphic or inappropriate pictures. Do NOT enter a picture of you in your undies (you must be fully clothed), or doing something questionable! Anything that is not family-friendly (something appropriate for children to see), will be removed! The definition of “inappropriate” is up the the hosts of this contest.
6. This contest is for everyone! You can enter by linking up at the party via your blog, facebook, google+, flickr, and INSTAGRAM!!! More info on how to “link up” coming next week.
