Baker's Dozen for January 2024: Share your photos here!
Did you see the news on our blog, Facebook, or Instagram? We've launched a new monthly photo challenge here at the Sweet Shoppe and we want to see your photos!
It's the Baker's Dozen Photo Challenge. If shooting a photo every single day is too much to keep up with, you're going to love the Baker's Dozen approach. Each month, I'll give you a list of thirteen prompts, and you'll use them to inspire your photography. Here are the photo prompts for January: https://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/w...sDozen-Jan.jpg As you work your way through this list, we want you to come back to this thread and share your photos with us! And to sweeten the deal, we're offering a prize. For each image you post - up to a total of 13 - you'll get your name added to our random drawing. At the end of the month, one person will win their choice of a kit or template trio or quad from the Sweet Shoppe! So grab your camera, get to shooting, and come back here to share your work. I can't wait to see what images you capture this month! |

Prompt: 24
My best friend does a simple, classy, festive display on her mantle each month. I captured this image when we had dinner together shortly after New Year's ... a perfect shot for the prompt "24". http://angiekey.com/wp-content/uploa...2024-01-24.jpg Prompt: layers Cold weather in Texas means it's time to whip up a pot full of chili. Beans or no beans, pre-made seasoning mix or seasoned by hand, as long as it meat and tomato sauce and is lovely and warm, it's all good. Before I stirred it all up, I captured this image of the layers of ingredients in my crock-pot. http://angiekey.com/wp-content/uploa...-01-layers.jpg Prompt: self portrait My mantra for 2024 is "don't wait until things are perfect to take the photo." Which is why the night before my birthday, as I sat in bed recovering from a week-long stomach flu, I decided to capture a self portrait - despite the fact I looked like death warmed over. This is real life. http://angiekey.com/wp-content/uploa...-01-selfie.jpg Prompt: cold We had a wicked cold front descend on us in Dallas this past weekend. My Maltese-Yorkshire Terrier mix, Charlie, loves to roam and explore our half-acre backyard; we usually give him daytime access through his dog door, but with a wind chill of 5 below, I was keeping the door firmly blocked. He was insistent, though, so I wrestled him into a thick sweatshirt and followed him outside. His unhappiness with his outerwear changed the moment that frigid wind came whipping through the yard. And I promptly shot this photo and went back inside. Brrrr! http://angiekey.com/wp-content/uploa...01-01-cold.jpg Prompt: snuggle This shot makes a good follow-up to the "cold" image of Charlie - here he is that night, all snuggled into his dog bed, covered by not one but two fuzzy blankets, his head burrowed into his pillow. The epitome of "snuggle". http://angiekey.com/wp-content/uploa...01-snuggle.jpg Prompt: new beginning There's all kinds of new beginnings you can capture in the month of January. This one has nothing to do with the new year - it's my next sewing project. I'm finally going to make myself a much-needed winter coat from a blue brushed bull denim, lined with this vibrant charmeuse print and interlined with thick cotton flannel. http://angiekey.com/wp-content/uploa...wbeginning.jpg |
I'm including ones already taken, only in Jan of course :thumbup:
I absolutely love this challenge, how fun. This is In My Cup. My grandson, Gabriel got a training sippy cup and it is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. (I say that about everything he does) https://i.imgur.com/uJHlcgf.jpg Layers Spanish moss never seizes to awe me. Talk about layers!? I love taking nature pics, too. https://i.imgur.com/QvTXSCD.jpg Snuggle https://i.imgur.com/6qSPiVo.jpg Cold this used to be my son's boyfriend... now it's his fiance :) That is their dog, Monroe and she is hating our current cold weather lol. Poor pupper. https://i.imgur.com/ZtqhPDH.jpg Self Portrait (with a major cold)) https://i.imgur.com/mbHWGkP.jpeg First Thing taken right before the sick selfie lol. Honestly the worst cold in years, still coughing some 3 weeks in https://i.imgur.com/BK2oDVm.jpeg New Beginning https://i.imgur.com/rOSyDAx.jpeg Goal this is one panel from a granny square sweater that I am making. The next goal in this process is to weave in 544 yarn ends. https://i.imgur.com/thJ98ht.jpeg Ty Amy for this idea. This is my shadow! https://i.imgur.com/dU3Lt6k.jpeg Ice https://i.imgur.com/p1MzzM6.jpeg Organize This is how I organize my photos for the year so I know what I will be scrapping. https://i.imgur.com/qQ8I1PE.jpeg |

Here is my Bakers Dozen! Loved this so much! I had a great time! Thank You! NEW BEGINNING--I have never (I know real mature and adult of me) taken off my makeup or had a skin care routine... But now I do! Yeah me! https://i.imgur.com/J3Ava5p.jpeg 24--The calendar I made for my office/library for 2024 https://i.imgur.com/pENqRmm.jpeg COLD--Visited the home of my Great, great, great, great Grandparents and the cellar where they stored the cheese they made was untouched, and cold. It was awesome. https://i.imgur.com/FBHf3Bx.jpeg SNUGGLE-- These two slept like that for over two hours! Married over two years and still in love... https://i.imgur.com/XeljTuF.jpeg IN MY CUP-- Dr Pepper ZERO Cheery flavor with a touch of coconut creamer https://i.imgur.com/ieMHaeB.jpeg A GOAL-- I HAVE to get the LEGO Christmas village down before the end of the month! LOL I just don't want to! It takes sooooo long to put up and I may just put it off longer but John wants his workout space back. https://i.imgur.com/jKAU39K.jpeg LAYERS--- Been gutting and cleaning and organizing my books and the end result is layer after layer of beautiful literature! https://i.imgur.com/JJ3adVr.jpeg ORGANIZE--Our master bathroom has one tiny vanity with very little space so I had to work with what I had to add my new face care product! it worked! https://i.imgur.com/sWf34fl.jpeg SHADOW--yup... my shadow.... https://i.imgur.com/XhHn7kE.jpeg ICY--These guys shared a huge ice cream while I watched and drooled and was a good girl. https://i.imgur.com/AvppEga.jpeg Self Portrait-- I just love my library https://i.imgur.com/PzUnoab.jpeg 3 of a Kind-- Now that LEGO puts their minifigures in boxes I can't use my special talent of feeling for each figure. But I figured out a pretty good system and only got a few duplicates... except this guy. I really wanted three goats! My LEGO nativity and farm really needed some goats. https://i.imgur.com/i0Xqxx3.jpeg FIRST THING-- AS SOON as Jan rolled around I headed to the eye doctor. I had my screening months ago and my eyes are way worse AND for the last three months my glasses are literally being held together with electrical tape! But insurance says I wasn't due for new glasses until Jan 1st so there ya go. https://i.imgur.com/ITEjIA4.jpeg |

First thing: I need my antihistaminic everyday.:p Layers: Participation of my daughter lol 24: Well 24 minutes :D Organize: Our English muffin basket in the kitchen, this is what we eat every morning with butter and jam or Nutella for my son. |
