Come closer and I’ll tell you.
Not only is it Friday Fix-it day over at I ♥ Faces… but…
*sqquuueeee* Doesn’t he look like such a baby-face? Oh my goodness. This was HandyMan and me taken waayyyy back in 1999 – I can hardly believe it’s been that long. But… 10 years, 4 moves, and 3 babies later…
… he still makes my heart pitter patter. And today – today is my Handy Man’s birthday! Happy birthday, dude. You still got it.
And to sneak in my I ♥ Faces Friday Fix It:
Isn’t she a doll? This photo belongs to a participant in I ♥ Faces. Everyone gets a try at making it be the best image possible. You can head over to I ♥ Faces, to download the original and try your hand at photo editing.
Here’s the original: 
Now sneak on over to my Handy Man’s blog and please wish him a happy birthday!

That is a beautiful picture of you, Darcy!
Look at you youngsters! What a fun picture. You guys look so great together. Oh, and awesome job on the Fix-It Friday.
I love the hues in the edited image. Brings out much detail! Very nice, the dress is gorgeous! I actually had a lot of fun editing this picture. The dress was very inspiring! Thanks for sharing…
I will hop over to your hubby’s blog for a Happy Birthday wish!
You are an adorable couple! Hope you both have fun celebrating!
Your handy man aged very well!! And your edit is great! I love the color.
Wow! I absolutely LOVE your edit! It is definitely my favorite I have seen today! I really love how beautiful you made her face–sharp eyes in focus, beautiful skin. And the work you did to create a depth of field looks great–adds so much pop to the picture. GREAT JOB!!
I love the after, Darcy! You photoshop whiz you. And, what a great couple you two make. : )
Fun post and How did you get such clarity on that fix??
I ran both unsharp mask, and an action that brings out the edges of an image. Then since she was slightly out-of-focus, I found really making the background more out-of-focus made her seem less, so.
Well, and she was such a pretty girl. She made it easy.
Oh, I like the cooler more vintagy look. Fabulous work!
Happy Birthday!!!

First, congrats and awwwww on the picture. You two are so adorable:) Well, you are now too, but I love the flashback photo:)
On the Faces photo– that is AWESOME! I love, love, love what you did with the photo. Wow.
Awww. Y’all are just soo cute.
Wow! I finally get to meet the wife of Boyborian Dad. I have seen your husbands photos on I heart Faces many times. You and your husband are so adorable! Happy birthday to him!
I love your edits. And nice to meet you!
Happy Birthday HandyMan!
Darcy, that picture of y’all is so cute, and you look beautiful!
Have a great weekend!
Eeeee!!! Look at how cute the both of you are! Quite the beautiful couple!
1999 was like forever ago. *cough*
Thanks for saying “both of you ARE” instead of “both of you WERE”. Though for 1/2 of us – the latter is closer to the truth.
Too funny, today is my oldest son’s birthday..he just turned 14! I feel so old! Love your pics!
Love the muted colors on this edit! Happy birthday to your hubby, he looks better now than he did 10 years ago (if that’s even possible!)
I know right? He looks good! I mean, thanks. I’ll tell him you said so.
Notice I am not in the 10 years later image.
That decade didn’t do me nearly the justice it did him! 
Ha!
Girl, girl. What a handsome husband you’ve got. And what a beautiful wife he’s got. Aren’t you guys lucky to have found one another? And then you made such gorgeous children! A match made in heaven.
I must say, you guys have aged beautifully. You both look even better now than you did then. Guess you guys are like fine wine. A toast to both of you!
This is so soft and beautiful, I love it!
Oh MY GOODNESS! I think this is my favorite so far. How did you get it SO SO clear? And the coloring is so beautiful!

You’re a very sweet wife & have done an amazing job editing this photo!
I enjoy seeing the side-by-side of the orignal & edited version.
You two are so darn cute! Hope Handy Man has a great day. Will you be celebrating at the Indianola balloon festival by chance?
What a cute picture of you and your husband! Happy birthday to Handy Man!
I love your edit for Fix It Friday!
That is a beautiful picture !
nice pics!
xoxo nice to meet you!
O My Goodness!! You are Gorgeous!! In my next life…I want to look like you…just saying!
Before and Afters, what a difference…..love the after!
Beautiful edit. Great cropping…and I like your balance of color vs. BW. Good job!
Okay, how is it that you look EXACTLY the same today?
Gorgeous pic of you.
Congrats to your man for marrying wisely and a Happy Belated birthday too!
You and your Handy Man are both just the cutest! Happy Birthday to your hubby, he is just getting better with age.
Hey, Darc ~ how do you post pics on the blog without them having a link? You know where people can’t click on them ~ like if I hold my mouse of your pics, it just shows the title and an arrow – not the hand. Does that make sense?
I meant to say “if I hold my mouse OVER your pics . . .” ;D
