  Thank you so much, everyone. I've really been enjoying your comments. :))) Gee Whiz! Heavenly? Now I KNOW I will have sweet dreams tonight. I have enjoyed ALL the REST of the lovely adjectives here as well...without listing them all, I am truly flattered. Thank you AGAIN!

SSSKiki, if this wins a grand prize I will split it with you! It IS an AROUND THE WORLD TRIP right? That should get you back here!

Thank you all for your more than kind thoughts on this one. This one took a lot of effort and you made it worth it!

  Beautiful Lala! I love how your eyes "sparkle"...or is that "twinkle" this time of the year? :)

Did you get the Frac filter back? If not, you need to contact them about it 'cause your frac creations (as well as all others) are so pretty!

  Hi Emile, Jo Ann, Rey, Tammy, John, Stan, Ray, Chris and Carolyn!

Thank you all so much. I agree with you Rey. All of you have certainly touched my life and I have felt you have been Angels in my life many times.

My Mom passed away when I was 24 and she was that one person who always encouraged me and believed in me with anything I tried to accomplish.

To be a member of this club has often given me this same feeling and it's so wonderful.

You have all been my Angels. Thank you for your friendships'.

HAPPY, 2012, to EACH OF YOU and may you WONDERFUL ABILITIES continue to grow and flourish!!!

I'm honored to know you.

-Laura :)

P.S. My Daddy and Grandmother were also Angels in my life as was my Mother. :) I shouldn't leave them out.
