finally - i got a photo i liked! thanks for the challenge!
@tkradtke - is this ok for the challenge?

 

Apparently we also have a shortage of mirrors at our house. I tried to use a makeup compact (left photo), then I remembered the full length mirror leaning against the wall in the hallway. I took it outside and put it in the tree. I focused on the flowers in the mirror and not the branch in front of the mirror (right photo). Hope you can tell by the lighting that it is a reflection. So a two-fer from me.

 

Aside from the bathrooms, we only have one other mirror in the house - and it faces a door (not an exciting one either). I don't even own a compact, so no mirrors there! Ended up sending my husband to the dollar store to snag a $1 makeup mirror, so I didn't have to stage a photo shoot in the bathroom or lug a giant mirror outside. Love the results I got with my little photo-bomber though, so it was totally worth it!

 

We loved our christmas decorations so much this year, that it was only yesterday we took them down. Time enough for me to capture this cute bird in a mirror. I had to stand on a chair to take the picture, while my son was standing on the dining room table holding the mirror. It's a shame no one took a photo of us. LOL It would have made another great scrapbook page.

 

yay finally finished this one! Going out of order was not a good idea! hahaha

 

Lack of good mirrors made this a lot more challenging than I was expecting--it sounded like such a simple, fun photo prompt! I had to abandon a few failed ideas, but I'm happy with this one.

Oooff... I definitely hit a creative block with this one... not sure why. FINALLY, I snapped this picture of a typical Sunday afternoon at my parents' house. I love that the mirror shows my mom's vase in the foreground with foliage that reminds me of my grandma and in the background of the mirror you can see my dad and the cat relaxing on the couch

 

I finally got to undecorating so I could do this picture! I took a picture in the mirror of my decorated piano and then another with it undecorated and merged them together.

 

I ended up trying something new! Thanks for hosting this fun challenge, Tracie. Mine

 

I haven't received a comment from the hostess, and was doubting whether my page would meet the challenge criteria, so I made another page.
My original page is here in the gallery and here in the challenge thread.
