Ok...I just had to mess with it again. This time, I changed the crop. I believe this will be my last time to change it!

Hi Carol!! So nice to "meet" you! I always pictured you as a blonde, with curly hair! ;) But you have that gorgeous Leo mane. Fantastic SP, with fabulous color tones. Your skin is flawless and you have no wrinkles--I hate you! LOL

Sorry, I decided to remove the sun spots on the wall, so I copied the comments.

Judy and Amy, thank you so much! I had 4+ inches cut off my hair. It will be easier to manage now and much cooler!

Colleen, a blonde! How funny! Isn't it funny how we get pictures of someone in our head just from conversations with that person? Thanks so much for your kind comment. PS>I sent you an email.

Peaches, thank you so much for your kind comment. This SP has been something I've been dreading! I rarely get a photo of me that I like! But I figured with the haircut, it would be a good time to try, although I am not completely pleased with my results. I will have to keep trying!

Carol Teal August 28, 2008

Pat, Ann, Evy, Lynne, Renee, R&A, Jennifer, Jeff, Nadya, Teresa, Cindy and Gary, thank you all so much for your kind and supportive comments. The SP was something I have dreaded for a long time!

LOL Ann, I think the chubby-cheeked version of me is much cuter! At least, I was much younger and didn't have any wrinkles!

Teresa, hubby says I still make that pouty expression when I don't get my way! LOL #6379240

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 01, 2010

I found you!!! :)

Before tonight and ALL the wonderful photos of you, I always thought you were an extremely intelligent, pouting, little baby girl! HA!

What a great bonding day we have had, Carol! I am off to bed soon but will answer your e-letter over coffee in the morning okay?

You're still beautiful! Wish I had your hair. Mine is practically non-exsistant.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Goodnight!
