Wow Laura, this is so cool. It looks like it's painted. Beautiful work again Laura. #1189422

Laura E. Swan level-classic October 07, 2009

Thank you, Ann! I made other versions that were sorta of neato, too! I'll attach a couple! Hang on!

BTW FOLKS- Sorry I was gone. I got REALLY lost in this dark dense space in the forest. IT WAS WEIRD & COLD! Then, thankfully I saw your flashlights, candles and the moon shining making made my way back!

Whew! Glad you are all here. Is everyone okay? And what's with this star? He doesn't look very KIND!?

OMG!!!!! A psychedelic stary monster!!! Did I have too many mushrooms?? Gee I think so. And I thought I was done with all that! HAHAHA!!
This is awesome, SSSL. I LOVE it. Fantastic work and image!!! #8019298

Denny E. Barnes level-deluxe October 08, 2009

Dark night, Star so bright,
What a scary Halloween sight.

Black cats, flying bats,
Witches wearing pointy hats.

Ghosts are scary, monsters hairy,
A girl's dressed up like a fairy.

If Scary Star should appear beside'er,
Then we must rely upon Star Fighter

Laura E. Swan level-classic October 09, 2009

Humm...NOW I KNOW FOR SURE that WE ARE IN A HAUNTED FOREST!!!

We have both brothers double postings..men and women writing delightful poetry that flows perfectly like water, a sister who admittedly ate too many mushrooms...another sister who spells COOL with a "K"...and the rest of you who are acting normal..well...it could be just an act...you know...waking confidently with a straight face in the line of danger...

My flashlight battery is flickering...

.....NOT GOOD... Photobucket


HEY! WHAT WAS THAT, that JUST FLEW BY US??

John Connolly October 09, 2009

I am not sure it is safe to go away and leave you to your own devices Laura! LOL!!!
Stay away from mushrooms and that after dinner drink!
Never the less, this is an extraordinary presentation with amazing DD work!
Thanks again for the emails, and no it is not my Birthday, that occurs late in April! #8022925

Laura E. Swan level-classic October 09, 2009

Hi John! It seemed everywhere I had turned a couple of days ago I saw mailbox dedications to you! And you hadn't arrived yet so I just wanted to make sure you had those links! Glad it worked out! :)

Sister Kiki stuck some of those Forest mushrooms in her pocket. She isn't sharing. Humm....Unless she shared some with that little fly that just went by!

Shoosh............. :) #8023331
