Kirsten Kiki Kjaer October 24, 2009

SSSLala, I don't trust that driver!! She looks as if she's going to have a hard time even staying awake. So how is she going to get us safe out of the woods and to the party, that's what I'd like to know. And you promised me that I could drive!!! (Sulking!!!!!)
Okay, I guess it's better than staying out here with the wampires and all.
You did a GREAT job on this, Sis. Fascinating image!!!!!!!
And who knows, maybe it'll be a joy-ride after all. At least we'll all be together, right?

#8069536

Laura E. Swan October 24, 2009

Hey! I just noticed that the driver looks a little scared! Do you guys think he just saw a ghost? And that nasty gash on his face...Uh oh. He's going going to attract vampires! Maybe that is why that pesky bat keeps flying around the car. Can you guys see him too?

John...Rolan has the potion. He's your man to talk to! HA!

Sister Lorna OF COURSE there is room for you! You funny girl...HEY...did the driver just turn his head all the way around to talk to us? CREEPY!

Last to first:

Hi Frank! Glad you made it! YES the group seems a bit ... humm ... how shall we say? Lets just say Rolan better put the green stuff away! HA! I am glad you think this is beautiful. The Pumpkin Juice must be working for YOU TOO!!! :)

* * *

Julianne!!! I love your costume! I think you will have to fight over shot gun. Annette is up there. Maybe 3 can fit? Careful with the diamonds. They project the light and attract night creatures!

Muayyyyyyyyyyyyyhahahahaaaaaa!

* * *

Kathy your friends look like fun! All aboard! HEY can your friend on the right to the (FULL) Moon walk? You need someone to dance in the limo with!

* * *

Avril, GLAD YOU ARE HERE! There is lots of room. As Mr. Tree (Douglas) said, this is a "MAGIC BUS"..The seats just multiply as needed!

* * *

Why Thank you Chrissy! Maybe for a newcomer?

Why is the driver getting out of the Limo? Is he checking the tire pressure? This limo can't be THAT HEAVY???!!!!

Humm.......???

Karen Kessler October 29, 2009

That face on the left is really scary! Is it sticking its tongue out at us? The driver looks a little drugged...did she have some of that icicle grass? Huh? I guess I'm in if they rest of y'all are 'cause I ain't stayin' anywhere by myself!

(Love the colors & POV in this one, Sis!) #8085941

Julianne Bradford October 29, 2009

Laura E. Swan October 30, 2009

Humm....

You guys are too funny! Julianne, I hope you were talking about spinning CD's? HA!

Annette, you thought that was ME? Haven't you seen my SP's? That can't be ME?
