  I get so concerned for everyone out there on the roads this time of year. (Except for Bobby Ray and John and others who live where it rarely gets critical as far as winters!!) Please be careful. You are precious cargo!!

  Hi Terry :) Thank you!! ...
Hi Teresa :)) You are clever to realize the flowers are too heavy for the little bottles, but alas! I thought of that! In my imagination they are made of led! HeeHee...(Hence the red led glass in the one! S.S....Snort snort)...Thanks for the visit, ladies! Always a pleasure. -Heidi Lou :)

  Why thank you Ms. Lydia! :))) Next week I can show you how I did it if you'd like? :))) You have the program. It was a little tricky and I had to think ahead before I put it all together but I pulled it off :))) Those are the flowers from Banff that I have been using for other images lately. :))) They are getting their ware!

  Hiya, Pom! This beautiful creation tried to slip past me during my "time-out", but "better late than never" trumped it!
Really gorgeous complementary colors, and the frame behind the flowers makes for an eye-pleasing composition. Well done, as always, li'l cupcake (aka l'il Pom-Tom).
