    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.

    @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...

    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!

    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 :)

    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.

    @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. ;)
