Hi Avril, Debbie, Jeff, Colette, Wm, Nancy, John, Carol, Ellen, SSSKiki and Heather!

How great to see you all.

Well, I am recycler and inventor and re-inventor. Mix that with digital artist and you get my work, which includes my SPs! :D

SSSKiki has me met in person. I am just like everyone else. I just know how to have fun with my face. :))))

Thank you all so very much for each word. You are very kind to me and my work! You are why I keep trying my best.

-Lulu, Swanee, SSSLala and Your Photo Pal, Laura :D #11017588
