I am shameless. I gave myself every PS3 cosmetic procedure I know; eye lift for sun damage, check, better make-up because I never wear any, check, Visine for the bloodshot eyes after a full night of cuddling The Baby who has a fever of 104 degrees, check, a more even complexion to compensate for all that Easter chocolate, check, one last glance to make sure I don't look a day over 21? Well, let's test that theory; my husband just walked into the room and caught my portrait up on my 22" widescreen monitor and remarks "Honey! You look so young in that photo! I mean, you look so well rested!" Ready to post I'd say, and then I'll be off to find him some sheets and a blanket for the sofa. These were taken just minutes apart, I was sitting on the floor in my best lit dining room by the window trying not to look like a total idiot balancing my 20lb Canon on my knee and The Boy thought it looked like fun. To my great surprise he did not spit a giant zerbert in my face like he had been all day (and I wonder why The Baby is sick with Roseola??) but instead, offered an unsolicited kiss! Click! Lucky catch! I have to admit that the guest judge this week on I ♥ Faces is none other than my uber-talented BFF and "battle buddy" JULIE RIVERA, so I welcome your comments but will not make myself eligible to win this week. She has a hard enough job to choose her top ten out of hundreds of entries, she needn't worry about my precious ego ;)

You got your hair cut! Am I right? Do I win the observant friend award? The "I did not fall victim to your amazingly gorgeous eyes and flawless skin but noticed your hair" award? Man, I wish you weren't such friends with the judge, that is one doozy of a self portrait. And such a sweet kiss from your boy.
Thank heavens for this contest! How else would I get to see my favorite photographer daughter when she's not behind the camera? Haircut?? Guess I'll have to send you an email, instead of filling up your blog space with questions.What fun it will be to see all the photographers.
Awwww... nothing beats an unsolicited kiss from one's little boy, does it?! Your self-portraits are lovely - such pretty eyes! This is the most difficult week EVER. I'll have mine up as soon as I'm done editing to make myself look younger and more clear-skinned too, LOL!
Oh my stinkin' heck! You look completely gorgeous in both of these Karyn.
I'm with you on the photoshopping part...I did every possible transformation on my face that I could think of! If any of you ever see me in real life, you are going to be in for a real shock! ;)
Love the photo of you and your son. Precious. By the way, your skin is beautiful.
All that photoshopping, yet it looks so real!! Great work. Love the kiss, too!
Gorgeous! I love how natural and soft you look in your portrait. And what a sweet little baby kiss!
BEAUTIFUL shots!! Love your skin!
You are gorgeous! I am in love with your freckles : )

love these!! They are great! You are beautiful and I love the kiss photo too! Both your kids are gorgeous and I just want to squeeze your little baby!!!
Wow! What a week for self confidence! I think I may tape all of these glowing comments to my bathroom mirror so I can read them every morning! Thank you all!
Beautiful picture with your little boy
Wow, those are gorgeous!!
dang, you are good! and the freckles! why can't I have freckles??
Your self portrait is incredible. I should be judge so you could win. :)
Well, you've got some mad photoshop skillz there, cause I think you're drop-dead gorgeous!!
PS can put make-up on?!? Who knew? Maybe that's the answer for my next Christmas card family portrait?! Ah, who am I kidding. If I'm too lazy to put the stuff on in the first place, what's making me think I'll take the PS time to put it on?
;-)
