To the BP FAMILY MEMBERS!
All of us have imagination &, creativity so here is a place
We can take into our minds and be "OUR BP Family Cottage" as A place where all members of BP who have become A FAMILY with other BP Members can come!
Some may have left a time ago
Some may be leaving now
Some may be leaving in the future
But they can always come back to this cottage
To celebrate a Family so Special to us all!
The Best Wishes to all BP MEMBERS
For we ALL inspire someone who visits our galleries full of sharing talent.
We, members, are all WINNERS in our hearts!
And as we walk our paths, together, or part...
We should 'never say Good-bye!
So..until we will meet again!!!

Good Morning Neighbor!Nancyj E. Hovey May 26, 2009
Welcome Kim...Laura E. Swan May 26, 2009
Straight into FAVS, Mumj. What a beautiful home for us all to gather in as a family. Thomas Kinkade is inside there painting by the fireside. I am making my famous banana bread for everyone and I know you are cooking up something delicious for us like you always do through your work.You are so right. BP'ers have certainly inspired me to try new things, enjoy new beauties and ideas.
I would personally like to thank others for giving me that boost of confidence that has made me realize that I am not just a photographer but an artist and visa versa. They work together as one through the amazing world of digital photography.
I raise my glass (of orange juice) to us all! As a family. Wherever you all are.
-Laura

Nancy, what a beautiful place to meet family and friends! Such a place will be remembered forever. Thank you!Family & Friends
We all have a cherished garden we tend
It is planted with love of family and friends.
The memories and dreams we treasure and share
Are like beautiful roses found blooming there.
The comfort and care on which we depend
Is given with love between family and friends.
The sunshine of laughter and rain of a tear
Only make our love grow with each passing year.
We may all be ourselves with no need to pretend
Because of the love of family and friends;
They notice the rainbows and weather the showers.
They overlook weeds and praise all our flowers.
The most valuable thing is the time that we spend
Tending this garden with family and friends.
When counting our blessings, we know from the start
That family and friends come first in our heart.
