Please Help Try to Save SAHM Businesses

I have several friends that help bring income into their family by selling clothes, cloth diapers, etc. their businesses are being threatened by the new CPSIA Law.
It would mean a lot and could really help if you could take a couple of minutes and sign some petitions and even link to the blog I will in your blog or email to help get the word out about this issue.
Thank you.

365 Challenge

A couple of friends of mine started doing the 365 self portrait challenge on flickr this last year and so I decided that I was gonna start with the new year. So I have done 3 pictures now, and I have felt somewhat limited without my photoshop with me, it's nice to be able to smooth my splotchy skin out a little bit! I'm excited to do it because I know that it will help me grow in my photography and creativity. Although I'm really wishing I had a remote for my camera and a tripod (hint hint birthday presents!).
I thought I would share my first three pictures, and I will put a link to the right with for my set on flickr.
