Here's mine. Like Anke, I don't have many to choose from because I'm always taking them.

Ladies, these pics are gorgeous! It IS good to see you, Mary, and Laura. I love the angle on the photo and the cute hat you're wearing. Darling. So creative, Anke. Your driver's license picture is great. Much better than mine.

Love these updates, ladies!!!

Mine isn't going to last for long - I need to get a new one, but this is a photo that Wendy took of me at Disney last weekend.

Seriously Anke that is your driver's license? You look fantastic! I could NOT use my mine at all, or any photo id that I have ... ok maybe my college student card, but that's it.

I love your photos too Mary, Laura, Renee & Steph! You are all beautiful

Renee, you look like you have a wind machine blowing your hair. You look rocking!

Kayleigh, adorable shot!

Mary, so that is what you look like behind the camera! Love the change-up, Anke, my driver's license pic is horrid. Steph, that is a good picture! Laura, I really like that one!

Add me to the changing her avatar today!

I've tried to upload my avatar soooo many times but I keep getting a message that it's too big. And I really don't think I could downsize any more or I'd appear as a dot. Any suggestions?
Then I could post a first one which would also serve as a new one

This change your avatar day is fun. I'm loving seeing the new pics.

LOL, Erin. No wind machine - just a Santa Ana wind that day. My friend was supposed to be snapping pics of Trent and snagged this one of me.

I love those close ups of you, Erin and Steph. Beautiful!
And Kayleigh, that photo is adorable.

You can make the size up to 150x150 and save it as a level 5 in Photoshop or like value (medium or web level) in your photo editing software.

I like Randy's avatar!!

This is fun--made me think about changing mine too. Although, like most of you--I don't have many pictures of myself. this one was cropped out of a photo I had to submit to the University.

It's fun to "see" what everyone else looks like!

Loving everyone's new pictures. I don't have too many pictures of me that I like and my daughters and I just change ours about a week ago, so I will have to leave mine alone. I was glad to see Randy's instructions, now maybe next time it will be easier.

So many pretty ladies! Now with the name changes, I hope I'll know who you are! I'm hiding behind the small pic of my great grandchild for now. I'll try to get my daughter take one of me holding one of the children - then I can put her up in front of my face!

Aino, Someday, when I get the camera I am dreaming about, I will proudly hide behind it for my avatar.

Yes, one day, when I get the camera I am dreaming about, I will most probably put it up AS my avatar.

Default Love the NEW LOOKS

It is so fun to SEE everybody as we get to know each other, the site, the software, the stories, the tools and what we make each day. I love it that the pictures can be bigger and somehow it seems easier to change them.

Glad you started this thread, Mary.

It is so cool to "see" everyone!! I changed mine a week or so ago, and since photos of myself are hard to come by, I will stick with this one from our cruise photos. And Aino, I have been thinking about hiding behind my camera for a photo for a while now, that will probably be my next one! I love seeing everyone beautiful faces!!

OK, I just did!

I don't really look this good IRL. It was a low-light picture and I had to run Noiseware on it. I wish I could run Noiseware on myself each morning when wake up!

I changed mine about a week ago... my other avatar was from I orignally joined. It needed updated badly. I don't like pictures of myself, but somehow when they are with my kids I forget all about what I look like

No, wait! My photo didn't change. I will have to see what I did wrong.

OK, that's it.
