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: ![]() 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". ![]() 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. ![]() 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. ![]() 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! ![]() 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". ![]() 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. ![]() |

I'm including ones already taken, only in Jan of course
![]() 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) ![]() Layers Spanish moss never seizes to awe me. Talk about layers!? I love taking nature pics, too. ![]() Snuggle ![]() Cold this used to be my son's boyfriend... now it's his fiance ![]() ![]() Self Portrait (with a major cold)) ![]() First Thing taken right before the sick selfie lol. Honestly the worst cold in years, still coughing some 3 weeks in ![]() New Beginning ![]() 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. ![]() Ty Amy for this idea. This is my shadow! ![]() Ice ![]() Organize This is how I organize my photos for the year so I know what I will be scrapping. ![]() Last edited by tanyiadeskins; 01-31-2024 at 05:00 PM. |

Tanyia, this photograph is just fantastic! I love the close-up on Gabriel's chubby little hand with all those sweet dimples at his knuckles.

You knocked out two prompts with one shot - both "cold" and "selfie"! I'm jealous - we've just got nasty rain and ice here in DFW. I'd love to see some snow flurries!

Tanyia that moss photo needs to be framed on a wall!!!!!
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! ![]() 24--The calendar I made for my office/library for 2024 ![]() 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. ![]() SNUGGLE-- These two slept like that for over two hours! Married over two years and still in love... ![]() IN MY CUP-- Dr Pepper ZERO Cheery flavor with a touch of coconut creamer ![]() 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. ![]() LAYERS--- Been gutting and cleaning and organizing my books and the end result is layer after layer of beautiful literature! ![]() 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! ![]() SHADOW--yup... my shadow.... ![]() ICY--These guys shared a huge ice cream while I watched and drooled and was a good girl. ![]() Self Portrait-- I just love my library ![]() 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. ![]() 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. ![]()

Here's my latest:
![]() A goal: This is my daughter's last conjugation assessment and despite her dysorthography and dyslexia, she performed very well. It was an important goal for her. I love the teacher's encouragement. Three of a kind: My fave scented candle was on sales. It's traditional apple tart perfume. First thing: I need my antihistaminic everyday. ![]() Layers: Participation of my daughter lol 24: Well 24 minutes ![]() Organize: Our English muffin basket in the kitchen, this is what we eat every morning with butter and jam or Nutella for my son. |

I just love this challenge so very much! Tried to keep up with the prompts this month - and going to double check it today so I can snag last minute photos I need!
I think I just need icy - so hopefully that can be captured tonight! ![]() Last edited by clucaswvu04; 01-31-2024 at 10:09 PM. |

Thank you all for playing along with our January Baker's Dozen! We had a total of 60 photos submitted, and with the help of random.org, number 27 is our winner, which - according to my spreadsheet - belongs to Amyjcaz! Congratulations, Amy - I'll be contacting you shortly to find out which kit or template trio/quad you'd like for your prize.
The February Baker's Dozen will hit the blog shortly, so stay tuned for more inspiration - and I hope I'll see you all again in this month's sharing thread! |
