Just out of curiousity, why did you choose your avatar? How often do you change it? My first one was of my kids, but that was 2 years old, so I changed it to me, for like a day, then it was one of my cookies for a day, and now it is a different cookie that I think may be my favorite one so far......but I digress. Your turn!

I chose one of my first cakes, actually the second I made (the one that caused me nightmares but turned out really nice icon_wink.gif). But I also chose it because you can minimize it really good without it getting unsharp (yep learning how to deal with photshop icon_wink.gif ).

Good luck with picking yours!!

Mine is of my little cat when he was a baby. We got him when he was 5 weeks old (way too little) and nursed him to health. I'd never seen a siamese with stripes! Now he's almost a year old and he struts around like he owns the place (of course, he's a cat!). I am head over heals in love with him!! icon_biggrin.gif

Mine is just my latest cake.. I was pretty proud of it so I figured I'd put it in. Once I get my company logo squared away I might stick that in here instead.

Eliza.. I hope that your DH is on the road to permanent recovery. ((hugs))

I had one of the double-smiley-faces at first, then I changed it to a pic of me for a day or two. Then I changed it to the current one because that's the one cake I'm proudest of so far... the one where I actually stood back, looked at it, and said, "I don't need to add anything else. I like it just like this!" And I actually put down the decorating bag, put the cake on the table at the shower, and stepped away. Never once did I look back and wish I'd done anything differently on it. icon_smile.gif So yeah... good happy cake vibes!

It's my son Baby Berry!

I'm thinking about putting up a pic of he and I big cheesin'. Though I am always asked if he is my "biological" son because he is lighter than me. I'm caramel chocolate. They don't seem to understand that my husbands white which makes for a lpossibly lighter baby!

That is, a Mocha Baby!

I chose mine because I don't have a lot of pics here at what others might call my "real job". It is me a very long time ago (early 80's)...they used to call me the "Coors Queen" because I would stick the cardboard 6 pack container on my head when my Dad would finish one! I should really find a better one... icon_lol.gif
