New Blinkie To The Left

Hmmm.... I came across this little "blinkie" (for those that might need a definition of an internet blinkie: Blinkies are small animated gif files that can be added to your signature line or used on a web site)  The best part about this blinkie is Who and What it represents.  Give it a click and it will take you to a flickr page with pictures of children with their mommies, scroll down a bit and you will find a little about the story of Aleida Franklin. 

She was very well known among the scrapbooking world and online throughout scrapbook websites and even appeared in a few magazines.  Her story is one that will touch your heart.  The challenge is one that makes me think.  I'm not one that likes to be in pictures... not at all.  I like to be behind the camera, that is where I'm the most comfortable.  But....maybe I will take a step (rather a huge jump) and join this challenge?

Here's my 1st attempt at a picture with me and the kiddos... even before showers!  Now that's what I consider a huge jump!
