Self Portrait Tuesday~Solemn child

Looking through old photos for this month's theme, I found that I hardly ever smiled which is odd to me because I had a happy childhood. I guess it was because I was so shy. So for this last Tuesday of the month I chose to show the more solemn side of myself as a child with a very unoriginal collage, but hey I have limited resources.


See the one on the right with the white sailor hat and reindeer in the background? I thought that hat was so cool but I was looking...uh...very dorky. I love the middle one on the bottom row. I don't know what Mama said to make me give her that look but it's hysterical! And look at the poor baby washing dishes. Have you ever seen such a forlorn look in your life?

Of course, I couldn't leave out the happy pictures, so here's a few with me actually smiling.

Now this one was taken on the same day as the one above with the dorky sailor hat. We were vacationing in Pigeon Forge and had taken a day trip to Santa's Land in Maggie Valley, NC. Why, oh why was Santa wearing 70's looking sun glasses? We'll never know.




ok, on this one I had apparently gotten into some lipstick which is weird because my mama didn't wear lipstick so I don't know where it came from, but I sure had fun playing with it. I look so cute and unlike myself.

here's my Kindergarten picture. Mama had forgotten it was picture day, so my hair wasn't combed and she had a fit when she got the picture back and saw the part in my bangs, and my shirt was ratty, but this is really me. I mean the shy grin and bashful eyes looking up at you, this really captures "me" when I was young.
