Are you trying to swallow me? its an awesome abstract Laura. Keep the eyes, nose and crop it excluding the lines and lip lines. Wipe out the line beside the nose. and you will get another wonderful abstract.

Laura E. Swan September 15, 2008

Ha! Funny caption you made up for this shot!

OK I did what you said. What do you think? I didn't crop it. I just white spray painted the unwanted parts out. It would be easy to trim it however. #6455702

Tiia Vissak September 15, 2008

I guess the face seems to be worried about something. #6455725

Laura E. Swan September 15, 2008

My guess is:

"My Baby Is Going To College" #6455734

September 15, 2008

I like this more than the first one. Its just my choice. Its more descriptive and alluring.

Arijit. #6455872

Sherry McClead September 15, 2008

Personally I like the first one better... you have beautiful eyes but I like the funny expression in the org. It reminds me of the look on my face when I pick up the wrong coffee cup... Glen likes his unsweet and I like it sweet.

Karen Kessler September 15, 2008

WHAT? Fangy is going to College, now?! ha!

I agree with Arijit, I like the redone version better. It removes your wrinkles! Don't you (and I) wish it WERE that easy?! :) #6456721

Laura E. Swan September 15, 2008

Ha! You guys always have a way to make me smile!

Arijit, this face is not supposed to be pretty! I liked your first answer better! :) -I think!-?!

* * *

Too funny Sherry! I can see a person WOULD make that exact face if we drank something we didn't expect! Ha! Good one!

* * *

Yes Karen. Its true. He wants to start this fall. Do you think we should let him? I think home college schooling would be better. He seems frustrated with this idea but is considering it.

:) I love curves just for that reason, Karen!

NO MORE WRINKLES! Thanks all! -Laura #6457543

Karen Kessler September 15, 2008

Don't know about letting him attend college - he's already a smart cat (and he knows it)! I mean, he would put all those college kids AND professors to shame! Besides, you would probably get yourself into trouble if he were away all day - and let's not forget he always beats you at Scrabble! #6457994

Laura E. Swan September 15, 2008

I will need to go into deep thought over this important matter. (Thus the expression at the top of this page!) Ha! Thanks Cousin. -Laura

Its saying to me, "Hmp, who do you think you are?" #6503979

M.Christine Duncan September 24, 2008

This to me says "Fangy Baby won another one? SIGH!" lol.... of course I'd be refering to scrabble, lol. I too really like the second crop actualy! Very dynamic feeling! Great job big sis! #6504877

Sherry McClead September 24, 2008

Yeah... but Christine... Laura without her mouth... is just not Laura now is it?

Sherrybear :} #6504901

Laura E. Swan September 24, 2008

You guys are too funny!

Hey- You just gave me an idea! Why don't I use the second image (No mouth for me), and replace it with a black and white butterfly and call it:

Silence of the Laura

??? You like? Ha! Thanks ladies.

BTW- Fangy is gearing up for another high game activity day. He's been pacing all around the game closet all morning. Wonder what he'll pick?!

I think we all know. #6505388

Christine Lobsinger September 24, 2008

OH NO!!! This is what I see you saying! Your facial expressions are great... keep the mouth on!!!
Chris
SWM lol too... #6505931

Laura E. Swan September 24, 2008

"OH NO" is a great one, Christine. :)

So keep the mouth, hey? Maybe we should keep this one and try the butterfly? :)

Thanks for playing! -Laura #6506016

Karen Kessler September 24, 2008

I have to agree with your little Sis, Christine D! Did Fangy win another round of Scrabble? That Cat! #6506220

Dorann Weber September 27, 2008

I love the simplicity and how the image fills the frame.. #6518606

Laura E. Swan September 27, 2008

Cool Karen...okay! :) Thanks!

Me, too Dorann. Thanks you so much for saying so! -Laura #6518630
