  Hi Kiki and Avril!!

I am so tickled to read your comments! Thank you Ladies!! This was a bit of a glamour program I used for the base DDR. Then I used lots of tools here and there.

SSSKiki you have met me in person. You know the real facts. HeeHee...But thank you for loving this anyway! :D

I appreciate your visits!

-Laura :D

  Gosh Lulu, you look like a model! I love how your hair is blowing back, and you have that special "look". A record cover, I reckon! :) Very beautiful!

  Hi Anita and Theresa!

Thank you both so much!!!:D

WOW! I would LOVE to be Jen's twin Sister. (See how I INSTANTLY began to use her shorter name now that you have assumed that she and I are Sisters??) I could get used to THIS! :D

It's actually me, (gush, gush), with a TON of DDR make up on.

But I will gladly accept your awesome compliments! Bless You Both! (HeeHee)

  Smoke and mirrors, Mare. Smoke and mirrors! :)))) HeeHee

Thank you for such a great comments!! Have I told you I love you yet today??

You know, this image is truly a "creation", using many programs. I actually attained, here, what I would LIKE to look like. It's about 50% me and 50% DDR.

It is the ME I'd love to exude.

ex·ude verb \ig-ˈzüd\

: to flow out slowly

: to show (a quality, emotion, etc.) very clearly or strongly

I am far from this image in person but it shows my inner me.

I had struggles with sharing this one because it is that personal to me. I almost named it "Killing me softly." Because it exposes me.

I discussed it with a lady I am very close to here and how it effects me even when it is not what I look like totally in person. And she wrote: "YES you are that person.... or the photo wouldn't be there....even if it is DDR..."

In this image it shows me having a longer jaw and lighter eyes, etc...

Anyway - I am not a model but an artist and I hope my talents shined through in this one.

-Pommy Doodle all the Day!! :D And some days I do. I DDR Doodle!

  A stunning beauty you are, LOTW - both inside and out. Excellent ddr work (altho I don't believe you had to do all that much to enhance what you've already been blessed with.) Add another vote for Gold (gotta be!) and another Fave! Your best SP - thus far, that is!!!!! :) :)
