Family Photo Contest
I am sure many of you have heard about The Old Schoolhouse Magazine? Well, if you have then you know what a great 
source of Godly encouragement, homeschool activities, and a peak into the lives of other homeschoolers across the world. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading through a TOS magazine, then you’re really missing out! Here is a chance for you to either win a TOS magazine subscription for yourself or bless another with one.
I have been seeing people post lovely family photos all over blogsphere and I thought about having a contest to see who’s was the most creative, but I wasn’t sure what the prize should be. After going through some ideas…. a nice picture frame…. Scrapbook album…. or just something? I didn’t think any of those were good enough and I was running out of idea. Then the next week I won a TOS Magazine subscription and, since we already get it, I’d like to give mine away! So if you’d like to win a TOS Magazine subscription or if you already have one – an extension, just follow the rules:
1. Post about the contest along with you most recent family photo, and sign the Mr. Linky with THAT post link.
2. Put the Family Photo Contest icon on your sidebar (Must be linked to this post)
3. Tell all your friends and have fun!
And yes, the picture on the icon is, indeed, the Dixon kids. Sadly it doesn’t have Luli on there. The baby in the front is Caleb, who is now almost three. I would have used the most recent one but it was of poor quality and it wouldn’t have worked as a background. Ah well. For some reason I can’t get the code to show up right on this post so you can either upload it to your own sever or go here and look in the first comment.
I can’t wait to see all your family photos. I hope you will join in! The contest will end on February 29th, 2008.

That was really sweet of you to put on a ‘party’ for Rose. You are a very thoughtful person.
I would join this contest, but my mom so totally does not want her picture online. :)
God bless,

Hey!
Coolness. Perhaps I shall enter. what a good idea for a contest. :P Getting all my siblings together, smiling, and sitting relatively still will require some scheming.
RYC: Oh yes, I was wondering where you had gone. Glad to hear that no terrible misfortunes had befallen you (apart from water pipe troubles- ick, I can sympathise).
Looking forward to the next After High School post!

May God Bless,

Alyosha, I’d love to see a picture of you/your family. It’s nice to put a face behind the name. And I am glad you’re looking forward to my after high school post. I have it ready. I just need mom to proof read it. :) I’ll hopefully post it on Monday
Hi Kaylene! Nice to meet you. I am glad you found my blog appeasing! Come back again!

Thank you for adding people on my blog. I took a few of them off though because as far as I can see they don’t blog anymore. I looked at there profile and the last time they posted and it was a long time ago. I’ve made a lot more friends, thank you. Man, for a little girl like you, you’re sure popular.

Hey Jocelyn, I’m on a tear. I’ve already posted three times this month. ;) Before you know it, it’ll be a whopping four times. :P
BTW, I think this blog is the best looking one I’ve seen. Who designed it?
[Reply]
Wait, never mind. I just saw Eric did it. :)

Hello Jocelyn,
I just wanted to thank you again for the lovely party. I’m sorry I haven’t really been online in the past few days…we have been having some computer trouble.
Oh, I also got your forwarded e-mail from Brielle…you don’t need to worry about it..I won’t…;)
Oh, your contest sounds like great fun! I’m afraid I won’t be able to enter though….we haven’t gotten our family pictures taken since I was about four. =) Although, I can’t wait to see who wins!
Love your friend,
Rebekah Rose

Hey, Jocelyn-
I think your contest is a great idea for a family photo. You did a great job on it. :) I loved your modesty post… I need to put my “Fearlessly Feminine” post with my skirt pictures up… gotta upload the pictures first though…
Well, keep up the good work! I will put something on my blog about the Family Photo Contest. Oh, btw, I DON’T like the way I look in that picture.
Love you lots, sis!
Love,
Rachel

I found your contest as I was following blog friends around. So I entered! I didn’t put your icon on my sidebar because I couldn’t figure it out. I just recently figured out how to upload pictures with my dial-up.lol Does the disqualify me? I did link to you :) I am enjoying your blog – it’s so fun to find other bloggers.
[Reply]
Someone told me about this contest, and I just entered. I, too, couldn’t figure out how to put the icon in the sidebar, but I did make it linkable within my post….hopefully that will suffice. Thanks for the creative contest!

I entered two times
but the first one has the wrong web address.
How are you!
I haven’t talked to you in so long!

I’ll see if I can figure out how to add an icon! I’m really new at this.

oh my, I loved the family picture by the old truck! That was just too cute. I enjoyed looking at them all. I do not have any different family shots, just getting all of us sitting and smiling is tough! But I enjoyed looking, can’t wait to see more!

Sigh.. what I wouldn’t do for a year of TOS… ;) Thanks for offering-

Hello dear Jocelyn,
This contest is a neat idea! I’m not one to usually get in on time for something like this, but just for fun I’ve decided to.
I hope you get over this bug soon!

Hello Miss Jocelyn,
Thank you for holding this contest! This morning I thought, “Oh no! The contest deadline was yesterday!” But then when I looked at your sidebar I saw that the deadline was March 1st. :) So, I entered in the Mister Linky above. :) I posted this picture a while back, but I went ahead and re-posted it. ;)
God Bless!
