Very beautiful flower and work, MSSSLala. Already in my favs. #9076481Laura E. Swan December 02, 2010
Hi Everyone! Thank you so much! I agree with you, Michelle. Fract has it's place but not on all things and on MANY things it's best to keep it sparse! :)HOWEVER...(heehee) SOMETIMES I MUST GO HOG WILD and LET 'ER RIP!
Thanks for tolerating my art work, my BP family and friends, and also thank you so very much for the kind words and encouragement...And SSSKiki even making any of my work a FAV for you! Huge honor for me!

Hello my BP friends and family! :) I love and miss my frac filter. It was on my dead lap top. Once I get PSE7 back in I will have to invest and get this filter again. It was my right arm.Or was it "My Left Foot"? Either way, I sure did depend on it and I miss it lots. This is a re-sub because I really liked this creation. :)
Thank you all for visiting!!!

Excellent floral work Laura. Oh by the way Happy Belated Birthday, I have been away for a brief spell and gradually trying to catch up. When is the best time to take the Trans-Canadian Train ride from Winnipeg to West Coast and which is the best direction to go? Drop me a BP mail. #9791944Laura E. Swan November 08, 2011
I see you have found the original images I worked from to make todays creation for Rolan who passed away over the weekend.Very observant of you! :)
Thank you! I'm happy that you like what I did here.
I had a nice birthday. I just love being 29. I could stay here the rest of my life. In fact I started this tradition years ago! :)))
I sent you a BP mail. It's in your box.
