I am going to take a few moments to tell you about my picture. It is disappointing and very un creative this week. Please love me anyway : ) Thank you!
You just about made me snort my Diet Coke up through my nose Rebeckah!! I guarantee you'll have 1 billion hits this week because everyone will want to see just how "horrible" it really is. ;) You're just too funny!
My entry was one shot out of approximately 261 that I took...and one of the only ones that had bubbles actually in it. The wind kept blowing them all away too fast. Urgh! My daughter enjoyed being my "model" though...so that's a good thing. :)

LOVE this weeks theme! Had so much fun preparing for it and now I get to enjoy HUNDREDS of entries! Love it.
I love this week's theme!!
I so hope someone does a bubble gum shot! Turns out Dollar Tree bubble gum doesn't produce the kind of bubbles I was shooting for (pun intended!).
Looking forward to seeing everyone's ideas!
This is awesome! I am so enjoying participating and looking at everyone's great ideas!!

I can't wait to see everyone's interpretations of bubbles! I considered bubble bath, bubble gum and finally settled on the traditional blowing bubbles. Really fun week and I'm excited to browse through everyone's entries.

My bubble photo is of my oldest son (now 3 years old) in a bath on his first Christmas. I was blowing bubbles for him, I think it was one of his very first experiences with bubbles. I love his big eyes looking in amazement at the bubbles around him.
Wow, I'm SO sorry - I had to post twice, because my permalink defaulted to my main site link, and it's early morning, and I missed it! #64 is my actual entry - sorry again about #63!
Fun! Love the bubbles theme and the creativity that comes with it. We stayed with the play bubbles as our daughter adores them; we just couldn't miss that opportunity.
Haven't entered in a long time, but just had to enter my sweet baby girl's bubbly lips this week! Thanks for such a wonderful site!!!

Wow, I stayed up to 11:30 last night thinking I stood a chance at being the first entry this AM. No such luck!! I'm in at 96!!!
Will be checking out the entries after work today!
Yay! Love this week's theme :) Finally entered for the first time!!
I'm TB (#106) and took this photo of my daughter last summer. She's a good bubble blower, but the wind assisted this bubble, if you want to know the truth...
LOVE this week's challenge. I knew exactly which image to put up. Thanks for holding these contests! They are so much fun!
I took this bubbles photo a year ago and it's definitely one of my favorites...it shows the great intensity that kids put into such a fun activity as chasing bubbles!
What a creative theme - thanks!!
Don't feel too bad kaishon! My photo pick wasn't very creative either, but it was the best I could do. I had a lot to choose from but they were all very basic shots, nothing exceptionally creative like I had hoped either. I do love this weeks theme though; very cute one and I love checking out everyone else's site to see what they've put up!!! There's some great ones!!

My photo (# 147) was taken in Ethiopia when we were picking up our children. This was the first time I saw her play with bubbles. I'm not sure if she ever had before as she didn't seem to know what she was doing until we showed her. I wanted to share a gorgeous iridescent bubble photo, but this one won my heart.
This was so fun to do! I gave my son his first bubble bath last night and went to town shooting pictures. He loved it and was so cute! I've love everyone else's pictures!
This was a fun contest this week. I haven't entered for awhile but I'm back!
SO excited to play for the first time!!!
I just entered for the very first time too! This photo I added, is one I took 8 years ago on our annual outerbanks, NC trip. I love the innocence of this photo. My son is now approaching his teens and I just love the memories this photo gifts to me!
What was better about this week? The adorable theme, or the fact that it reminded me to pull out my bubble machine and the kids LOVED IT!
Love this theme and some of the images people have entered!

I love the Bubble theme and wanted to let you know that THIS is the very FIRST time I've entered one of your contests! I've wanted to for a long time and just couldn't seem to get my act together on time and figure everything out. Well I did it!!!
I enjoyed doing my bubble session - she looked just like a little fairy princess and her Mom was blowing the bubbles toward her. One aimed right for her face and I caught my entry shot right before the bubble burst on her nose. Love your site!!!!! Thank you!
I was asked to shoot some photos for my boss' pregnant daughter and decided to take some bubbles because I'm always looking for fun props to get my creative juices flowing. At first they weren't very successful because he was blowing them right at her face, but I did kind of luck out with this shot. :)
So fun, I used my favorite bubble blowing in another week's contest so I went for a different approach this week!
This is my first time joining in on the fun!

I have a suggestion. If you could change your settings in the colors to make the already visited links a different color so we can come back each day to enjoy these, without seeing the same pages over and over again. Purty please? ;O)
Hopin it's ok to include more than one face in the picture:)
First time here. My son seems to think that we cannnot play in the backyard without bubbles! In his world, his Dad should not step in the grass without bubble machine in hand. Fun!
I have entered mine with my little missy playing bubble by herself. It is a joy to be part of this week theme and I enjoyed my visit to others blog.
What a fun theme this week - I had a hard time choosing just one photo! :)
Yeah! An easy one for me this week! had fun picking this out.... although really wishing none of my older kids had braces, or I so would've done the bubble gum pics!
Great theme this week. Hope you like my picture.
This is my first time entering, so I just chose one of the better bubble photos I already had with a clear face. My photo is of my 7 year old chasing bubbles that his big brother had just blown for him. I love seeing the joy on his face! I look forward to entering more often!
I was so excited to see this category! Because I just got a great bubble shot at a recent session.
Just made my first I heart faces entry! This is fun!

I don't have kids, which = no cute blowing bubbles or gum pictures... but I do have an interesting entry... check it out, it's a group of Marines wrestling in a swimming pool! =)
Please forgive entry # 273. I totally messed that up and linked to last week's. How embarrasing! # 274...with the actual bubbles, would be my correct entry!
This is my first time joining in. Bubbles is such a fun theme idea. :) My daughter just LOVES them.
I'm up and have been up for over an hour now but realized that I didn't give a direct link to my entry. So I've given a new link in Mr. Linky. Sorry for two entries. Just trying to make it easier.
I had so much fun with my son tonight getting this photo taken. Thanks so much for a fun theme this week.
Now off to look at some of the other entries.
Not my best or most professional pose...but they are still such cuties!
I just love I ♥ Faces! Everyone is so talented and all the images I see are beautiful in their own creative way! I bet being a judge is one of the hardest things to do!! =)
I had fun with my little boy and the bubbles! So much that I had over 50 photos of him and bubbles!! =)
You can check out which one I chose to submit here:
