First and foremost, thank y’all for all of the kind words and encouragement on Friday’s post.
I can not begin to express how much this community means to me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I had forgotten what it was like to have the house to myself for a few days.
The roomie is still in Brazil on a mission trip (she gets back this week!) and my brother went with some of my family to the mountains thursday – Sunday; which left me home alone.
PRAISE
{minus the sleeping, i hate sleeping home alone}
I painted, had random dance parties by myself, went to get coffee and have Bible Study with some girlfriends, furniture browsed, vegged and watched tv, cleaned, relaxed some more, and just enjoyed the quiet. It was really, really nice.
. . .
The office/study/library is PAINTED.
FINALLY.
I seriously think i got high off the paint fumes alone.
The room is not ventilated in the forms of windows and it was so dang hot/muggy outside that when i did open the windows/doors it did nothing…so the whole house smelt. I know, i know why didn’t i get the low VOC paint? Ummm…i forgot? 🙂

I’ve mentioned a few times {here & here} that i’ve joined in on A Beautiful Mess’s 30-day self-portrait challenge. AND IT IS A CHALLENGE!!! I’m really, really struggling to come up with new ideas, so i guess this is a good thing that i took the challenge. It is stretching my creativity and i’m constantly thinking of different ways to express my personality as well as take an interesting picture.
Here are some of my favorites from the past few days, you can view more on my Flickr Set.
{my personal favorite is the last one haha}

Haha. I love those masks, girl!!! 🙂
You crack me up with all those masks! Love it!

I LOVE YOUR MASKS!!!!! How fun!
I love having the house to myself for extended times!
And I've been loving all of your self-portraits! I don't think that is a challenge I would even consider trying haha. Sooo not a self-portrait person.
LOL those masks are sooo cute and funny.:)
o my goodness, loving all the selfies! 🙂 wanna come paint my apartment for me??
okay, i am definitely an extrovert. i crave time with people. but i absolutely LOVE having the house to myself for long weekends. it's the best! you get to do whatever you want whenever you want. however, sleeping at home alone is the worst! i have to leave tons of lights on and lock my bedroom door. haha!
LOVE the mask self-portraits 🙂
Amy, you are so creative! These shots are so cool!
