What You Should Remove from Your Diet Today

New Product at Zazzle!


Throughout the last couple days, Zazzle has been updating their site with some exciting new stuff involving their prints and posters. The site has been down off an on while they try to work out the bugs, so I've been having some crazy withdrawals. As tedious as the wait was, it was definitely worth it! One thing I am particularly excited about are the new canvas prints. Can I just say thank you Zazzle? They are extremely beautiful! I've already built a Squidoo lens to show off some of the gorgeous canvas prints that are for sale. I have a bunch of vacation time coming up, but I wanted to get at least one lens up on the new prints. I'll be sure to build more when I come back. :) There are some truly amazing pieces of work there, so if you have a moment please go check them out by clicking the linky under the photo.

First of the Month Photo Challenge

This month's theme will be "In Motion." For this challenge you will photograph something that is moving. The viewer must be able to sense the movement in the photo. Try to be as creative as you can and have fun.

Take your photo anytime from now until the 30th of September and email them to me at jasminesphotography@yahoo.com
It can be a regular digital photo, or on a Zazzle product. If it is a regular photo, you may include your own watermark. Only 1 photo per person, please. Be sure to add your name and a link to your personal site/blog (if the photo is not on a product) in the email so I know who to credit. A short description of what you photographed would be great, but is optional. I will be accepting entries until SEPTEMBER 30 8PM EST. All entries will appear in a blog post on the 1st of October along with a new challenge.

Here are some great examples of what I am looking for. I hope these images inspire you to take part in the challenge.

First of the Month Photo Challenge: I'm Ready for My Close Up

postcard - cucumber beetle postcard
"I had never seen this beautiful green and yellow "Lady bug" before. I found out it is a Cucumber Beetle and is a non-desirable pest that should be banned from your garden. (I also saw a praying mantis for the first time, and was told this might balance out less desirable the insect population)."
