Monthly photo challenge

I am at last again joining Marcia in the Monthly photo challenge - and I am 1 pic short of the 5. I am going for a pedi today and there is no way I would take a pic of my feet yesterday. Self portraits are my worst  - I hate them, therefore it was a great challenge for me. I took all of them with my new nifty fifty - still finding my feet with it.
Hands - my office coffee mug and my mani colour from Saturday still in great condition.
Doing something I love - doodling, my at the moment passion.
Something I love to wear - my Janna Clifford long stelm rose pendant and chain (anniversary gift from Hunter) and an ever popular Big Blue skirt.

    Your polish looks lovely, and for the rest, all the pics are great but you should never be alamed by your self portraits. You're a beautiful women and it shows up best in your portraits. Great job!

    I am in awe of anyone who can make nail polish look good for longer than 2 minutes! Great pics Cat. :-)
