PhotoPie Week 6

While our favorite EmilyPie is off gallivanting in the beautiful Napa she has asked a few of her blog buddies to do special guest posts to entertain her readers while she is away. I guess because she knows I am obsessed with her PhotoPie I seemed like the appropriate person to host the challenge, and I couldn’t be more excited! Emily must have started tasting a little wine before she left because she even left me in charge of choosing this week’s topic all by myself! Can you believe it!?!? I’ve been thinking and thinking (aka stressing and stressing) for weeks, trying to come up with the perfect PhotoPie challenge. A challenge that would be fun and cool, and that people would actually participate in! The more ideas I thought of the stupider and stupider they would get. Even my husband began to get sick of hearing me say, “What about this for a challenge. Or what about this? Do you think that’s dumb? Would you participate? No that’s dumb, nevermind.” I was on the road to facing my greatest fear of picking the worst photo topic in history. I could just see it… first, everyone would hate it... and then no one would participate… and then Emily would have to apologize for me to her readers… and then she would banish me to bloggy hell and no one would ever read my blog ever again!

Just when I thought I was out of ideas the wonderful Le Petit Chic came to my rescue and saved me by introducing a theme! BRILLIANT! I can do themes! Yesterday's post asks the question: "What is your favorite beverage?" And this week’s PhotoPie Challenge was born. In honor of our little EmilyPie tasting her heart out in Napa I introduce this week’s challenge: Favorite Beverage.

This is the part where I show my example. This is my hubby’s favorite hot-bev, a vanilla latte:


So go on, get out there and take some product photos. Get creative people and show me your Favorite Beverage!

You know the rules:

The picture has to be a new one, posted to your site on or after today's date.

Make sure the picture is YOURS.

When you post your pictures, remember to link to this site. If you don't link Emily, she wont link you ;)

Leave a comment here, with a link to your post.

Thanks for your comment! Yeah, seriously-- darn those husbands!!! Haha. I'm glad you're a little soda drinker too. We're in this together! Reminds me of how if I'm shopping with a friend I'll want her to buy something too so I won't feel so guilty.... I'm so bad. :/

Megan said...

That was a good one! I could go on and on about my favorite beverage.
