All of you--whether you participated here with one self-portrait or 50--provided that inspiration to me and more this past year. Just knowing that you were out there kept me shooting during those times when I just wanted to give up, so thank you.
So to recognize the final leg of our 2012 {In The Picture} project (and the holiday season) I think our theme this month should be "Celebrate"!
Do a twirl, jump for joy, raise your glass, pose in your favorite holiday outfit, deck yourself instead of decking the halls, or have a quiet moment to yourself and think back upon the year. I hope you'll feel that you took a step forward with your photography, and more importantly, how you see yourself. Most of you started this journey quite frightened by the idea of stepping in front of the camera. I hope you are as pleased and proud as I am of the progress you made.
Have a great month, and I'll see you back here on December 28 for our final linky party! As I hinted the other day, I've decided to end the project here on the blog at the end of this year but I plan to keep our flickr group going with monthly themes in 2013 so I hope you will join me there. I'm also going to share some links to some other self-portrait projects and classes that are happening in 2013 so stay tuned!
P.S. Speaking of celebration, I'm celebrating silence over at Mortal Muses today. Please do pop by and say hello :)

What wonderful and inventive self-portraits, Christy! I love them all: the first one with the dove and the waves and you flapping your own wings to join the dove! However, my favourite shot is the second one with half of your face and flowers in your hair. Wonderful!
I've really enjoyed this year-long journey of self-portraits and it has helped me get into a 'new place' within myself. So thank you for being the hostess for the whole year long!
Beautiful ^_^
Ciao

I love your portrait with the snow crystals. Beautiful

I want to thank you for pushing me out there. I'm not afraid to be in front of the camera anymore.
