Probably because I am always the one with the camera in my hand.
And taking a photo of yourself is hard. Poor lighting in the bathroom mirror. Hence the black and white. No real way to focus . . . hence the blur.
And I rarely act natural when a camera is pointed my way.
My FaceBook photo was another miserable self portrait. Taken many months ago. Dang my hair was short!
Anyway, whatever. This is me.

I like this idea. Maybe have a series where everyone has to post a photo of themselves? There are so many blogs that I read, and I actually have no idea what the person looks like. How fun! :)
Oh! It is so cool to see your face :) Your photos are great even if we rarely like pictures of ourself... in fact I should talk for myself, I rarely like pictures of me!!!
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day!

In that first picture, with the smirk, you totally look like Michelle Pfeiffer! :)
I hate having my photo taken! So its always a treat to put a face to the name and the person whose life we are reading and getting to know all about. Thankyou for sharing!
Your bathroom is awesome! And you crack me up! But it is nice to put a face to the person we all seem to know. And of course love!
Hi Dana! I'm waving at you :) Your hair has grown lots since you last put a pic up here! cuteness isn't just for the puppies - lol
So there's a face I can put your thoughts to. I've heard your voice, own your beautiful sewing work, and even seen your hand-writing. But it's rare to see your face.
You're simply beautiful inside and out! :)
Awww, and a lovely you it is! Thanks for sharing!
Fun! I hate pictures of me too. I'm ALWAYS behind the camera in our family.
You're cute. I love the one with your tongue sticking out :P I added you on fb. Wanna be my friend?
I know what you mean. And even the ones that other take, thinks its a portrait when I only want to show the pants that me n the little people are wearing.
You are just too stinkin' cute. =) I can tell you are just full of life. I'm going to add you as a FB friend, too, so I can see your other picture.
It's nice to put a face to the "barn".
Love it! So glad to see your face. ;)
Hi "me", I feel you!:) My family says the same thing that I am never in pictures but I am also taking those pics with a little old Canon SD Elph!:) Sooooo....when is the blog coming that tells us about your camera?:)
By the way...way cool bathroom!:)
Nice to meet you gorgeous!
You're gorgeous! I mean that in a totally non icky but absolutely true way. Your girls look like a perfect blend of you and your guy.
Dana.. in my heart I already knew what you looked like. ;)
Well howdy Dana!
frankly, i'm disappointed cuz i SO wanted to see you with *that* hair ;-) but i'll settle for beautiful, zany you. (and for a peek into your "i want to go to there" bathroom.... love it!)
Now if this was a telephone, we'd all be talking about whether your voice matches your appearance. LOL
Penzey's Spices is featuring some of my recipes in their upcoming holiday catalog and they thought I'd have some pictures of me cooking or sitting at the table with our guests... I explained to her since I'm the one who is always behind the camera, you won't find very many pictures of me. She didn't quite understand.
I would have known you anywhere :0)......yes I agree with the others you are as beautiful as your girls. thanks for the fun post....don't we all hate pictures of ourselves though?
Happy sewing Dana you little cutie pie!
are you kidding about your FB photo?!?! - you have THE MOST AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL GREEN EYES... EVER - I wish mine were that colour sooo much. Lovely photo and its great to see the face behind the blog
Love it! Now I know who I'll be meeting! By the way... jealous, jealous, jealous of those wonky squares! I might have to sneak away with them...
Thank you for sharing your life with us, and your beautiful face!
AWWW!! What a cutie!! Your eyes are beautiful!
Thank you for sharing yourself! It is always good to put a face with a name:)
I love this series of self portraits! Really fun!
are we ever happy with photos of ourselves?? i am determined to get a nice photo of me and mark for our christmas cards this year. i am going to make them with my cricut expression and include a photo of us in them...something snowy i think.
Nice to see you finally! For some reason I imagined you had short hair, but I have no idea why. Fun photos!
Great photos!! I think your girls look like you!
In the several years I've been reading your blog, I've never seen you!
And you're so pretty!
I was getting told the same thing a lot, so lately I've been putting lots of pictures of myself on my blog. Ick. I hate it, but whatever.
You're exactly how I pictured you. How could you not be gorgeous...just look at your daughters!
It is great to see your face! (and your very cool bathroom)
Fun & cute! Thanks for being brave enough to share your fabness.
You are so cool - I love your pictures.
Yay! It's so nice to put a face to the e-mails and posts!
Hugs!

PS Nice necklace ;)
great post, great pictures.
Now if I ever run into you somewhere - I'll know it's you!
I keep talking about my *imaginary* (ie: blog) friends. It's def. good to have a face to go with the friendship!
I hate myself in pictures lately...too tired, too blah.
Soooo, theeere's Dana! Nice to finally meet you :)
This is a great idea for a meme. By the way, I love your photos! Very nice to see who it is we read. LOL
I am so visual, it's nice to finally see your face. I don't do good with having my picture taken, so this would be a good experiment for me to try. xoxo
I love this!!!! You are a beautiful person, inside & out! 'Course I had to check out the FB photo you mentioned...and now I am going to send you a FB friend request :-) I love your photography...and your blog....and your soap & stuff....Need I go on????
Hugs,
Trish
Hi you. You look terrific!
I've had the luxury of seeing you in person so I know how beautiful you are, but it's good to see you showing your face around here.
That said, I have the same issues with posting my photo on my blog. Well, those and my massive insecurities.
Dana! So good to see your face! You are so inpiring! I love your photos on the last few posts. Lately the only one taking pics of me is my 5 year old son. He loves it, and the pics aren't terrible. If I have time I will post them. You look great though! -Tonya
Hey - It's MY Dana! So good to see you finally, you're adorable and look like so much fun to hang out with. I'm glad to know that if I ever bumped into you now, I'd know just who it was that I knocked over!
Your FMF blocks are looking GREAT!
