Avatar!
you know, that little picture that lets everyone know who you are. I hate squinting and trying to see all the details in them; they're so tiny! so let's show 'em off full sized :) and tell the stories behind them, if any exist.
I'll start...
This is a photo of a sign that hangs outside one of my favorite places in Disneyland - the Golden Horseshoe, where Billy Hill and the Hillbilies play!
My roommates and I in college blew this up and hung it just inside our entryway to our apartment. It makes me smile every time I see it. It says "The Dutch Girls" (we added that part) because for some unintentional reason, we were all dutch that year. I'm 100%, one of my roommates was also 100%, one was 50/50 Dutch/German and the last was 25/75 Dutch/German but had a really Dutch last name. It was very strange.
Oh DD I didn't realize that's what it was?! Mine is a DIVA because well I'm a diva lol!! Seriously i had several people in my family contact me after they heard beyonce's song and say that i reminded them of the song.
@crebre, right, I know? so random. I just kind of picked an image from my computer one day, and then never got around to finding something better. I think I'm stuck with it now, hahahaha...
@daydream-I've always wondered what yours was! I thought it was a ring or something! I'll post mine when I put it up when it's done being edited! :)
@daydream: LOVE that!!!!
I'll post mine as soon as I get home tonight!
Oh wow, now that I see this blown up...it looks ridiculous!!!! It looks much better as a tiny avatar!
Haha! I like this thread! Although, I'm slightly embarassed with my picture blown up! Me and 2 of my bridesmaids were in Atlanta last November, and we were mugging for the camera. The next morning when I sifted through my photos, I found this one and I thought it was hilarious yet awesome!
@crebre80 Thanks! Haha! The site that I created it with let you put tons of different effects on it!
Mine is a grape hyacinth bout I found somewhere online, that is the inspiration for my fiance's bout for the wedding. Grape hyacinths are my favorite flowers, and I thought it would show up really well in an icon :)
Mine is a pair of Louboutins... it turned out a little pixelated in my avatar when I resized it, boo!

Great idea for a thread!
Mine is a cropped version of... well, me! I commisioned an artist on Etsy to do a watercolor of a favorite memory of my husband's. Then I framed it and gave it to him as a gift the night before the wedding. He loves it! The memory is of the night we met and I poured my beer in his glass while he was in the bathroom.
Mine is just a fitness girl. I love working out so that's why the I picked the avatar!
Mine is a picture of me looking down when I was getting ready for the wedding. Not sure what I was looking at, that's what happens when a photographer is snapping away!
@daydream: I really like seeing yours! It's so hard to tell what it is because it's so small!
@mskalinin what etsy seller did you use? that is such an amazing idea for a wedding day gift
@Ireland: I used Nature and Art . She was really great to work with!
i never knew what yours was before. Mine is just a pic of my Ering in a rose bush.
Mine is a photo that a friend and coworker of FI took. She had just bought some super expensive DSLR camera and wanted 'models'.. FI and I aren't exactly the modeling type.. lol
I finally put up an avatar!! :) I decided that I didn't want to spend time editing the daisy picture I want, so I'm putting the other picture of the Daisy up!! (That's her name) maybe I'll put up the other one, but this one's nice!
Mine is my wedding shoes... and the inspiration for my weddingbee name ;)
@Jocelyn - HAH! I LOVE IT! I never really knew what it was. Was that your Halloween costume? It's so fun.
@mskalinin I love how original & sentimental it is to you and your husband.
Mine's a picture of the FI and I dancing at a friend's wedding. Their photog. caught it while we were joking around on the dance floor. I have his tie in my teeth while he's holding both of our drinks. We're both sweaty messes, he's got this weird grin on his face & you can't even see mine but it's silly & I just think it's a fun pic.
@daydream... I had NO idea what yours was before. :) I kept thinking it was a ring, looking at it and deciding it was something else, and then forgetting and having the conversation all over again with myself later! lol...
Mine is full size already, but it's a marigold flower. I don't have any particular love for marigolds, but when I was trying to post an early incarnation of my wedding invitations at my blog I wanted to use a false name that was roughly the same "shape" as my real name (same first letters, similar number of tall and short letters) and I ended up using "Marigold" as a middle name. They're also common flowers in Indian weddings so it was the first thing I thought of when I found Weddingbee. :) Now it's my avatar pretty much everywhere. ;)
LOVE this thread! I'll post mine when I get home tonight!
Here's mine. Mine and FI's faces on Richard and Julia's bodies haha. I did it on a website called Face in Hole. And for those of you that google that, I apologize in advance. You will be there for hours... LOL!
Mine is Alf. I loved that show growing up and I own every season on DVD. It still makes me laugh
I like this thread!! Mine is a shell just to represent my DW in Aruba!! Of course I tried a pic of the FI and I, but thought it was too small (of course), but to keep in the cartoon avatar theme of the bees, I chose this!! I know, boring huh?!
Mine is a photo of my adorable cat, who's also the inspiration for my weddingbee moniker!

Cam and I at a friend's wedding... we were taking a picture of ourselves and the photographer took a picture of us ... haha. I'm loving peoples' avatars up close all in one place....
Mine is just an E. My parents nick named me The Divine Miss E when I was very young. It was when Bette Midler came out w/ her The Divine Miss M album. So that's what I went with. My entire family (and some co-workers) call me E still. The only person that doesnt? My hubby. :D
