this is great - you did so well on the portraits. I tried to do mine yesterday and just finished up with a fit of giggles. Love the little bunch of flowers
Your journlaing made me tear up. I can totally relate. I love that you set yourself to task and ended up with some results that you're proud of. You're so right about your pretty eyes and smile, and you have a great complexion and super fun hair, too!
And I don't think you use an avatar in the forums...this may be the first time I can put your face with your name. I think it's awesome! You really look like a sweet, fun person to be with.
