So, this is it, the final Self-Portrait Challenge for the year.  Which pretty much means, for the EVER, since this wound up being a much more difficult challenge than I thought.  Partly because the girl who issued the challenge initially stopped doing them, but mostly because I realized …. I am damn boring.  Why would anyone want to look at pictures of me, in my mundane life?  I don’t even want to look at pictures of me, and I *AM* me.

Since the SPT Challenge (from 2008, that I am continuing to recycle ….) for the entire month of December are words such as faith, love, and joy …. I give you my final SPT picture:

Which stands for RELIEF.  And HAPPINESS.  And DETERMINATION.

Relief that the challenge is over and I can quit.  And happiness that I’ve already bought the scrapbook, which I intend to make from the years worth of SPTs.  I’ve already bought the embellishments.  I’ve already got the photos, and the journaling, once I reprint all these blog entries from the year.  And determination to actually sit down and make the scrapbook, instead of just talking about it.  In fact, that is one of my New Years Resolutions for 2010 … make more time for scrapbooking.  Which was also a resolution for last year.  And the year before that.  And probably even the year before that.

And if I do as well *this* time as I did *those* times, I estimate I will have this scrapbook finished sometime in 2017.

PS.  Don’t exhale that sigh of relief just yet …. I”ve got my eyes on a couple of other online photo challenges for 2010, as well!  There just might be more boring photos of me ahead, no matter what!
