Yearbook Yourself

So, there's this really fun site that lets you upload a picture of yourself and put yourself in yearbook pictures of old. In other words, perfect for someone who is easily amused...like me! I liked the first one because I look like my aunt Mary. The second two really reminded me of my mom...she had hairdos like these in 2 of her yearbook photos! :D What do YOU think?

I know, I know, I haven't even gotten pictures up of my trip yet! BUT...this is really exciting! :D This is MY display! I didn't really design it, our rep did, but I okayed it and picked everything else! (wall color, countertop, and hardware) I wasn't sure that it would all go together, but I LOVE IT!!!! Not to toot my own horn or anything... ;)
