I'm not a real borrower. I blame my Mom for that. If I said the word "Borrow" even at a whisper, she would come out of no where like a phantom and say "Daphne, Don't borrow something you can't pay for!" or "Daphne! Don't borrow things from your Friends!" What stranger is going to let me borrow anything? My Mom is quite a worrier. She is also famous around here for saying, "Don't borrow Trouble!" I don't even know what that means because it is was seriously over used while I was growing up. It could mean anything as far as I'm concerned. I think the thing I'm guilty the most of borrowing is Time. If it were not for the last minute, I'd be out of minutes. I love the last minute. I can really get stuff done in the home stretch!

I loved seeing your borrowed shots! We've got everything here from children to a cup of sugar. I love it. You guys rocked out another fun week! And I know you don't want to hear it, but keep it in the back of your mind...we still haven't done self portrait week. It's coming, there are only so many weeks I can keep moving it back. Our top ten is in no particular order. When you LOVE the artist, check out their other work. The artist links are directly below each photograph. Find them on Facebook. Become BFF's. You know the usual. Here we go...

Week 44's theme is "Halloween FUN" 

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, because it's the one day I can be someone else. I can't wait to see your Halloween Fun.

Remember when your baby was sleeping and then was  startled ~ they stick out they hands and legs and get super stiff. Their fingers do this super funny thing that this week I've been calling "Halloween Hands" - Yep, I'm photographing another baby.  Seriously, it's 4 babies in 4 days around here. 

Meet Baby Nicholas. These are his Halloween Hands.

What's new with Daphne Ellenburg?

For starters, my harvest fest was a big wet disaster. Most of my stuff was ruined by the rain because water is kryptonite to your photographs. But fortunatly, my super worrying Mother warned me of the 40% chance of rain which gave me time to reprint the canvas that I was bringing which really saved me $200. Thanks Mom. Best part of the show was watching my baby girl dance in the rain. Yes she did. And she had great time doing it. Here she is goofing off with her girlfriends.

Sunday we rocked out the Lawn Party benefiting The little sisters of the Poor. We had a great time and Madison tried to eat her weight in Cotton Candy.

Jefferson's baby book came in from Italy. Yep. Italy. These guys make all my super awesome wedding albums. Seriously it's gorgeous.

And for no reason, here's a photo of me Thursday under a hair dryer. I haven't been under one of these since 1989 - Prom flashback.

Remember my worrying Mom? Here she is worrying about the Fox video on youtube.

I made this at 5am on Friday.

And then I put it on this baby. I love making new props.

I finished Friday the way all Friday's should be finished.

With a claw machine victory. (we think it's a cat)

And a Margarita. 

Wishing you a fantastic week filled with Halloween FUN! Make it a great one!
