and then she snapped: show {off} your shot

So guess what? I have been waiting for months and months and months and it's finally here! My blog just got an awesome critique by my friend Melissa from momcomm.com and the Sits Girls! This week they are knocking out TEN blog critiques and mine is one of them. So head over there and check it out. I dare you not to learn SOMETHING that you can apply to your own blog. I am so excited to apply some of the things that I learned from my own.

Welcome back to show {off} your shot! I'm so glad you're here! I want to apologize for not commenting on so many of your blogs this week. I have been swamped. (Remember, my kids' school district has been on strike going on eight days now??!! Pray for me, seriously.). Anyway, I did stop by each of your blogs and I just love all of the entries, so THANK YOU!

A few of my favorite show offs from last week are (in no particular order):

Congratulations! If YOU are featured above, please feel free to grab the WINNER button on my buttons page.

So I'm forcing myself to learn a little bit of Lightroom this week...and am not going to let myself open up Elements until I get the hang of Lightroom. I just wanted to put that out there so that maybe you'll all help me stay accountable! Deal? Oh, and PS (get it?) if you have any Lightroom tips or tricks or whatever for me, PLEASE, pass them on!

The "rules" for Show {Off} Your Shot are super easy, K?

Ready?

Here they are:

1) Pick your favorite shot of the week, or one that you otherwise feel like "showing off".

2) Show it off!

That's it!

The fine print:

Please include my button (below) or at a minimum a link back to my blog. (Otherwise I reserve the right to delete your entry).

Please link up to your blog POST and not your main blog.

Linky opens at midnight(ish) Thursday morning and stays open through midnight(ish) Tuesday.

Please feel free to blog hop around and comment on the other entries! This makes it fun for everyone.

Each week I will feature three to five of my favorites from the previous week's entries. Anyone featured is welcome to the "winner" button on my buttons page. If you have ANY questions, email me.

Hi Rachel,

Thanks a million for choosing me as a favorite this weekend. I had a great time looking at different blogs and making new friends.
Um.. I think I've entered my blog quite a few times for this weeks contest *is very embarrassed*
My entry wasn't showing up and so I kept trying. Little did I know that I had entered myself like a zillion times!
I can't seem to delete the entries. Please do help or let me know if there is a way I can.
Thank you so much and sorry for the trouble!
Have a great week!

Such a cute kiddo and I love the lighting in your shot.

I'm a first timer today, but I have enjoyed your blog for a while. Thanks for hosting!

BTW - I'm trying to learn Lightroom too. Just getting my feet wet so far ;)

I should concentrate to lightroom also. I bought it in May and I have learned the basics...maybe:)

I love this idea. Just found your blog and I'm going to link up. Can't wait to read back and catch up with things I've missed. Thanks Rachel! :)

Hi! Following from the PNW Blogger site, and after reading your "about me" I'm so glad I found you. I am in NO WAY sarcastic or offensive, so I'm sure we'll get along just fine. ;) Hope to meet you at one of the future meetups!
