MegIcon wise, I've edited down a flower from this image  to around 120x120 size, here.  My problem is I wanted my name (Jennifer) in some pretty font somewhere on there... and I don't have any pretty fonts. So if someone could dig up something pretty and shack it on there, bottom ish, it'd be great. Color of font can match the color of my name currently, although if you wanted to make a copy with a different font color that more appropriately matched the flower, it'd be even awesomer.
Once I figure out what I want for the bottom image, I'm sure I'll be back. Thank you for the help, anyone/everyone. 
edit - One thing that I forgot to do already was to make the background color behind the flower match the grey of the boards so it doesn't look assy. Sorry. :[

I've got no idea. A friend of mine actually took the picture. :/
edit - As for a favorite flower, that's a pretty one. Daisies, tulips, sunflowers. Any/all of those work great.

Ok, I'm on my way to bed, but I put this together to see if it's in a direction you like. Let me know if you like it or if you want any changes to it and if so I can work on it tomorrow.

Yep, that's pretty beautiful. I'm totally shacking it up right now. However..
(You're going to shoot me for this one.) One question - can you change the font to something a little less cursivey? Something like this font - http://vaultmedia.ign.com/vnboards/admin/admin_cutchaguy_814942-1.gif or this one http://vaultmedia.ign.com/vnboards/admin/admin_cutchaguy_814942-1.gif or even this one http://vaultmedia.ign.com/vnboards/admin/admin_sprawl_692733-1.gif

Yea, that's easy. I'll change it up. If you wouldn't mind, take a browse at dafont.com and see if there are any specific ones you like there.

That's a quick font change to see if you like it, and if you don't still feel free to check out the font site above and pick one out and I'll edit it tomorrow.

Yep, definitely an improvement. I'm so totally going to play with this now. (And no doubt I'll post something and you'll be able to make what I can come up with better, but that's why I came here in the first place.)
I very much appreciate the help so far, by the way.
edit - Yeah. I'm so redoing my blog theme now. Check out the icon I came up with, using that original flower. *cheers*
Another question - where is the 'icon locker' for the megaicons?

I fixed up two versions as I wasn't sure what color scheme you wanted. Check these out and let me know what you think.
