Karen Kessler 11/30/2011 5:27:02 PM

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! #9840136

Laura E. Swan 11/30/2011 8:28:52 PM

Hi Kalena! Nope. It's not installed yet. I was able to get it into my doc files again, so, I am half way there! :))) I sure liked this creation. I hope the judges take a closer look this year.

Thanks Dear One!

Laura E. Swan 12/29/2011 10:09:34 AM

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. #9891679
