    I used 58 words in my journaling and took three selfies.

    So I love that word counter website. BUT, for the heck of it, I clicked on the spelling and grammar tab and learn that I had plagiarized! They are my words, from my own brain! Humph. I don't think so!:blahblahblah:lalala:lol

    You absolutely may include older photos to go along with your new selfie.

    @gonewiththewind ...I Have Many Questions...I Too Don't Do Selfies...

    1. Can The Photo Be Black & White?...Sepia?..Or Any Other Color?
    2. Can We Apply Duotone Or Any Crazy Artistic Effects Or Filters?...& I Do Mean Many Filters?
    3. Can It Just Be Eyes,Nose,Mouth...Cut Into 3 Pieces?...Placed Together In The Same Vicinity Of Each Other/Or Not...To Look Like A Face...But No Hair,No Cheeks,No Chin?...

    Thanks In Advance RJMJ

    We aim to be a family friendly site, so use your best judgment. That said, I know I have seen some swears in journaling. I wouldn't recommend making it like 200 font so it totally stands out. But, I don't think Cheryl will mind? @gonewiththewind

    What's funny is some of my classes have plagiarism checkers. It cracks me up when I see that what it picks up as "copied" are regular, everyday words that are common sentences. Or citations!

    Thank you so much for this gorgeous challenge, Cheryl @gonewiththewind - as I wrote before, I don't like selfies and talk about me - I did my best :faint2

    journaling:
    My first thought when I read today's challenge, no, I can't do this. But of course I want to end the MOC this year too, so I had to come up with something. So this is me - I'm still without makeup - it's early in the morning and I had my first coffee. My cat is here on my desk and enjoys the morning cuddles.

    I think this is a great idea for a selfie! I have photos in front of my mom's art as well. I wish I could give bonus points for effort! And it's good to know the glass media may is all it's hyped to be!

    I completely respect your decision. Please take your selfie and feel free to place an object or shape over your face, or blur out the photo. Please send your layout with the unblurred/unaltered photo on it to me in a private conversation.

    Yes! Any story as long as it's about you!

    No, it should be a new selfie.

    I think for your story's authenticity that you should include your swear word. I do think that covering the word up for our gallery is considerate as we do have younger scrappers participating on our site. Thank you for thinking of others!

    1. Yes, the photo may be black and white, sepia, or any other color.
    2. You can apply as many filters as you'd like, as long as I can recognize your face with two eyes, nose, and a mouth.
    3. No, you may not cut your selfie into pieces.

    I'm really interested to see what filters you use!

    such a cool challenge....now that I'm not really here for MOC I'll observe from afar but I do have an idea or two floating around - I just need to figure out a selfie for it (preferably one that isn't all hot and sweaty like I am currently!)

    I have 84 words on my page. I do not enjoy taking selfies but I do enjoy dabbling in some artjournaling so this was a fun challenge. Thankyou Cheryl

    @gonewiththewind , whahaha, you were sooo bad in making selfies! It made me laugh very hard! We Always kid that my husband should have taken a patent on selfies, because where-ever he went, he would make pictures of himself, but now that everyone is taking selfies... he stopped doing this! LOL

    Of I go to the drawing board! Love this challenge! A challenge it is! I normally take selfies with my kids, not on only myself.

    Selfies can always be a bit of a shock since I think I still look 50!
    .........
    Well the camera doesn't lie or so they say! 133 words I think.
