fix it friday #52 ~ i heart faces

wow, it's almost not going to be friday anymore by the time i get my post up for this week's fix it friday on i heart faces! my link will be hidden way at the end, lost and lonely, where not a soul will see it ~ but better late than never, i guess! it was too cool a photo to pass up. there were some distractions in the background of this photo, but i thought the yellow and black signs were cool so i left them in.
