I Heart Faces--Week 17--Hats

Well, I've been trying to decide on my hat picture for this week's contest. I've agonized, and I've edited, and I've even thought about buying out a darn hat store just to get enough props to take a decent picture. I even thought that I might just forget entering anything since I never could possibly win anyway.. and then I find out that I was Fan of the Week. You know, I can believe that, because I really DO love I Heart Faces.. a LOT! Thanks so much, Amy and Angie; I don't know if you fully realize how much your site has done to encourage all of us to go out and take better pictures; to learn how to edit; and to connect with a global network of pros and amateurs that we would have never met without your website. You guys rock!
After THAT enormous boost in confidence, I then found a file of pictures that I'd forgotten, taken last year during a rare snowfall here in Georgia. And once again, the girls next door came through with the hat trick! The youngest wasn't quite two when this picture was taken, and she was, well, not real happy with cold and wet. Can you tell? I had fun with post-processing in Picnik, and I really like the way it turned out. Do you think she's ready to go back inside yet?

One thing I DO know is that I'm ready to head over to I Heart Faces and check out all of the great photos I know are linked there. I have a feeling that this week is going to be over the top, so for some fun, funny, and fabulous photos, go visit Amy, Angie, and the gang (after, of course, you visit MY guestbook!).
