Wiping the slate clean

This term we have been learning about portraits at our camera group, and our final assignment before the end of term is a self portrait - with a creative twist. I have decided that this week I should try and complete that assignment, as I will run out of time due to being away next week other things. I don't have many creative ideas, but here is an idea I have seen somewhere else.

I am starting to get that panicky feeling that before I know it Christmas will be upon us and therefore I must crack on with my Christmas shopping. Given that I have a personal rule not to go Christmas shopping in December due to the crowds and long queues to get into parking garages, I don't have much time left. Thank goodness for internet shopping - I got quite a few presents sorted today and got exactly what I wanted.
