Happy Easter, my friend.Laura E. Swan April 03, 2010
Hi SSSKiki!!! Hi Brett!!! Hi Chris!!! =^..^=, Hi Mumj!!! and HI MR TREE!!!So NICE to have you all here. I so much appreciate your kind words and encouragement (and Easter wishes!).
You know, I have no idea why but my face (olive skin tones I think?) is easy to take into DDR and do things with. I try other faces and the grain is different or I get other complications...So I am stuck with ME and Russian lady I know. I dont post her images here but she has me do them for her. :) Anyway- Thanks for playing along with me and my make believe "family"...(Coming soon Mr. Tree! HA!)
Note: My preferred art/photo work is cartoon like or semi to abstract when I am really having a blast...
This image is really special to me, however, and I am so glad you like it too.
HAVE A WONDERFUL EASTER WEEKEND ALL.
