We Wanna See Your Melons........

These kinds of melons..........(so that Bagman doesn't get the wrong idea!!)


Our newest gang grandmother, Goddess Sarah Lulu, has chosen anything that starts with the letter "M" in honor of her beautiful granddaughter Matilda Margaret. Mamma Lulu's site is:
http://serendipitylulublogspot.com
Please jump over to her place to see the sweet child that has inspired her choice this week. Matilda Margaret has us all enchanted already. She's a "GANG BABY"!!

Let's see.........there may not be a lot of things around your town that start with an "M" but there has to be things around you....like melons, marigolds, mailboxes etc, so use your imagination. It will be a really fun challenge this week!!

If you haven't joined our gang yet........what are you waiting for? "Friday Shoot-Outs" are a blast and you'll meet the nicest people you've ever met from all over the world!! Patty and I started as lone shooter's just a few months ago and our list has grown each week. Hit either one of us up with a comment if you'd like to join the fun.

Have a super great weekend.......perhaps do a little Mambo to get inspired for the letter "M" this coming Friday. Dancing is good for the soul!! Whatever you do.....pursue happiness. It's soooo worth it........

Friday Shoot-Out Update - Join Our Gang

Everyone who participated in this week's Friday Shoot-Out did a "bang-up" job!! Gordon's choice of 'Paint the Town Red' made for some very creative shots. Seeing every one's interpretation of subject was amazing and that's what it's all about folks.......interpretation!!

Hensley has chosen 'Water' for next Friday. Great choice Hensley!!!! This is another assignment what will have many interesting takes on the subject. Don't worry if you don't live near the water. Water can be found everywhere and in many, many forms.......birdbaths, swimming pools, rain puddles, rain barrels, sprinklers, the possibilities are endless. You'd be surprised what you can find if you really look at the world around you, open your heart and free your mind.........

Water an elemental
Water a fundamental
Building block of life
Water of Life



Water in all religions
Water in all living things
Water in all countries



Water is the same
In all languages
Water is the same
To all living beings


If you'd like to be a GANGSTA, please hit me or Patty up with a comment. There are no rules........it's all about your take on the subject. Just point your camera and shoot away around the subject of the week pardner. If you would, simply add "Friday Shoot-Out...." to your post subject line so that we can all see it on the dashboard. Cool Gordon at Friday Shoot-Outs From Florida and lovely GingerV at Flowers and More are kind enough to keep a running list of other gang members for us, so hop on over there and let them know that you're gonna be shootin and they will gladly add you to their list.

I know your mother told you to never join a gang, but she didnt mean OUR GANG!! This is a great one to join!!! You'll meet the nicest people ever who want to show you their town and express themselves with snapshots......

Beautiful sweet Audrey from "Stage3! Who,Me??" in Edmonton, Alberta Canada just told that she was shootin this week and I'm holding her to it.........

*****"Free your mind and the rest will follow"******

Hope everyone has an E~X~T~R~E~M~E weekend and.........

Update and Info On Friday Shoot-Outs

NEXT FRIDAY'S SUBJECT: Architecture in your town. The pretty, the old, the new, the crumbling, the wood, the brick, the renovated, the sadly falling........
We'd like to see the architecture in your town. Great choice pretty, talented Jen. I love in a very historic town so this should be a blast for me!! Patty @Crisfield Maryland picked Jen's name from a hat and next week I'm going to pick one out of a hat. We'll keep picking from participants until everyone has a turn picking the weekly subject. Then we'll start all over again. It is my hope that we never run out of names because there will be so many participants that everyone who joins will soon have a turn and then there will be more and more names to throw in the hat. How fun!!



Since a few of you were asking about how to "sign up", it's so easy you don't have to :) Just think....no forms to fill out, we don't need your social security number, you don't even have to give blood!! Myself and Patty subscribe to the K~I~S~S method: Keep It Simple Stupid........we've found that it works best that way. It would take all of the fun out of the whole project if people had to join this, join that, follow this rule, follow that rule, make sure they only post certain pictures. It's all about your interpretation of the weekly subject. That's what makes it so intriguing. One subject could have an entirely different meaning for anyone. Just simply take the subject and shoot it the way that you see it.....that's the fun of it all. And the gang part. I've always wanted to be in a gang and have a great big ole posse............

Simply post your snapshots next Friday and please make sure that your post title has
"FRIDAY SHOOT-OUT-then whatever the subject is".
For instance my post yesterday was 'FRIDAY SHOOT-OUT KIDS AND BEST FRIENDS'.

Then, if you wouldn't mind, please visit either :
GingerV @ http://gingersflowers.blogspot.com/
or Gordon @ http://fridayshootoutsfromflorida because they are kind enough to take the time to keep a running list of participants posted on their blog site. Tell them that you're going to participate and they will graciously add your name to the ever growing list. You can then visit all the participants blogs and be WOWED like I am every Friday.


Please join us and the first 2 t-shirts go to: Ann in Auckland for joining and Robyn in Alaska for joining. Welcome to our gang ladies and we can't wait to see you represent your towns can we Patty and all off the gang? Welcome, welcome, welcome!!!!!!
We're thrilled to have you on board.

Anyone else? Snooty Primadona, did you say that you were joining? By the way, you crack me up. Noe Noe Queen of All Trades, where ya been woman?

Join the fun and laughter. Be a gangster. See the world while sitting at your computer eating chips and drinking Bloody Mary's (okay, maybe I'm the only one who does that???)You'll be glad you did.........I promise........

Prince and I are about to leave to go to Alabama. He is a judge in a "Wild Game Cook-Off". That should be interesting. What are they cooking down there? Armadillo and opossums and such? I can't wait to see this but, truthfully it should be a blast. As long as I'm with my man, I'm a happy girl.

Hope everyone has an E~X~T~R~E~M~E weekend and..........

Friday Shoot-Out......Kids & Best Friends

TGIF!!!!!!!!!! Time for "Friday Shoot-Out's". Friday has become my favorite blog day because I can feature my beautiful town of Newnan, Georgia and the rich treasures it beholds. We now have people from all over the planet participating and the only person we are missing is YOU.

We did an anything goes subject his week so I picked kids and best friends. I love kiddos and I love best friends. My heart sings when I see children laughing, and playing. I love to see best friends together having a great time and loving one another. A best friend is there for you when no one else in the world is. As a matter of fact...........a best friend is the one coming in the door when everyone else is going out the door. Priceless, no?

Shout-out to a wonderful friend, Ms. Laraine who is doing the Relay For Life. You go with your sweet beautiful self honey and raise money for the cure!! It's so needed and THANK YOU!! It is one of my dreams, that cancer will be curable in my lifetime. While I'm doing shout out's.....Science Girl in France......THANK YOU for all the research you and fellow scientists do on a daily basis to eradicate this terrible disease, right Audrey????

Patty and I will pick back up with a specific theme next week. I can't wait to see all of your interpretations from around the world and in the United States. I say it's a revolution...........
