My internet conveniently went out directly after I posted the pictures and it took our provider five freakin' days to get someone out to our house to fix it. So, I'm sorry I didn't respond to everyone's comments, but I'm very thankful for the input. It's a really hard decision because Julie did such a great job, but I think, for RED BUTTERFLY, at least, I'm going to go with picture #4, in the Chinese top, because that's what I really envisioned for this book. I think my overall fave is #1, so that will go up as my avatar shortly and if there's ever a need to choose another author picture (and I'm not too much older and grayer at that point) I'll use that one....
Thanks again for taking the time to give me feedback! I was blown away by the number of responses here on my blog and on facebook. Since I couldn't get on internet at home, whenever I had a chance to log on for a minute I was bowled over with LOVE (which was AMAZING).
Thanks again to Julie for her artistic eye, her friendship, AND, most importantly, her airbrushing and eyelash-adding skills.
As a post script -- my eye is still not healed. Unfortunately I may need surgery to get it back to normal, but I'm giving it a few more weeks to see if it will behave itself. Just one of those many ups-and-downs of life, I suppose!
((Hugs)) to all!
Yay!! I love when a decision is made and this is just one more thing getting you closer to that hard copy in your hand . . . *grins wide*
ReplyDeleteBut so sorry about your eye! Surgery?!! That's crazy. I need details. Not fun. :(
I missed your original post with all your photos. But this one is absolutely lovely. Great choice!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful, Amy! I love the photo!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful photo! I fear blogger may have eaten some posts on my reading list...going to get caught up now! Healing thoughts on your eye!
ReplyDeleteAny photo you chose would have looked gorgeous, but I do particularly like the one you have!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried any natural remedies for your eye? My sister found the homeopathic remedy silica very effective for a severe sty. I hope it feels better soon, as I know from her experience how painful and annoying that can be!
Beautiful! So sorry about your eye. Keep us posted. xo
ReplyDeleteYou do look beautiful! Hope your eye gets better very soon :)
ReplyDeleteLovely choice!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your eye. I will pray about it for you!
Well the red definitely captures the title of the book! And you look beautiful. I hope that stye goes away soon ... sometimes the body needs a little help though. This year, I've had to have antibiotic ointment for a stye that refused to go away. Surgery sounds so drastic. Let us know how you are doing.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Amy! Glad you made your choice. Call me and stop by one morning... would love to chat and catch up. So sorry your eye is still being problematic. Hope you can find something that will work before you need surgery!
ReplyDeletegorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou're so beautiful, Amy! Love your choice!
ReplyDeleteLove it! And I love that you found one that fits your book so well. I hope your eye heals soon!
