self portraits part 2

I really want to applaud all of you who took part in the self-portrait swap.  In the messages on your cards, on your blogs, in your emails to me, you let it be known this was a tough challenge.  One you almost skipped.  Work you almost didn't send.
I'm so glad you all played along!
It's been a joy to see the way you all represent yourselves on these cards, and to get to know you a little better.
