What an honor it is for me to drive this Limo and to be part of this wonderful adventure, SSSLala.I'll try to stay awake the whole trip! If it becomes too hard, I still have some mushrooms left in my pocket.
So you'll all be safe and you can all go to sleep now if you want to.
I'm sure you are all very tired and sleepy after the great party we had.
I'm so glad Kewpie is still with us!
I will be taking the safe route home - but you never know what might happen anyway!!!
Happy to finally meet you, NancyJ!
I love your shirt, Pat! Where did you get it?
Are you all ready?
Well - let's start the journey home.
Who's getting off first?
SSSL - this is a FABULOUS image. Fantastic work!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for this great adventure that you've created for us all to enjoy.
It's been such fun!!! #1199588

SHALL WE SING IT TOGETHER???!!!! ON THE ROAD AGAIN !!!
On the road again -
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again -
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends.
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way
is on the road again.
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way
is on the road again.
Just can't wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again.
And I can't wait to get on the road again #8095185

Graham Robards November 02, 2009
Oh wow, it has come to a close, sad as this was such great fun. It has made BP a real Halloween family!
Lucky I am on the outside of the Limo Kikki as you'd have to drive all the way to Australia LOL.
Certainly an international "Low Rider" and Oh My Gosh the adventures we have had for the last fortnight.
Quite incredible and as to the music my nerves were getting to me, all one had to do was say Boo and I'd jump a mile I'd listen to music night after night and select the best screams LOL.
Anyway Happy Trails Guys, Laura you picked some great music for tonight, it was fun mixing it up.
Thank you for the fun and thankyou for a credit but YOU had to come up with the image!!
~Pat

Too much fun!!! #8095886

If ANY Of you are wondering how I did ANY of these images just alert on the correct thread and I'll post the original. After all we are here to learn from each other, too.

I'm tired after this trip, Laura!!! I think someone slipped a little hooch in my Pepsi!!! LOL Super fund image!!! :-) k #8098144Laura E. Swan November 02, 2009
Hi BP Peeps!How fun to see you all here for take off. Even some new faces and latecomers! COOL!!!
Kiki has the motor revving! Gee that's a powerful V8 there! HA!
I am -so- honored, Bojan, that you read through the whole series today. That's neat!
This really has been fun you guys!
Julianne, I love a good pirate graveyard. That's what I did two years ago here. Life sized graves, too, with boots and bones coming up out of the graves. HA! the kids were petrified. It was so much fun! Pirate music echoing through the yard.
This year was THE HAUNTED HILL INSANE ASYLUM. THAT was fun too. I had tons of dead flowers and pots and pans out there along with the normal haunted stuff.
Thank you...Each of you for having fun with me this month and for all the really encouraging things you said. We often don't feel we are all that talented. When more than one person says it my squinted eye starts to open just a tad to peek and see if it might be true!
Your positive feedback has meant so much to me.
HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU! Until we meet again.
HOPEFULLY ON YOUR GALLERIES because I owe so many of you some personal time.
I will get there. WAIT FOR ME!
-Laura :) #8098205

Nancy L. Green November 02, 2009
This is just TOO COOL Laura, outstanding DD work!!! <>< #8098620Kirsten Kiki Kjaer November 02, 2009
Can I get arrested for dealing mushrooms? Gee - I wonder if the government is listening in!!!!!!! GASP!!! I'd better go undercover for a few day! AFTER I finished this trip off course. #8098713Laura E. Swan November 02, 2009
Thank you Nancy!!! :)* * *
No Sweet Kiki...They can't arrest you. You see, the truth is, those mushrooms are just SALAD mushrooms. No one knew it! The power of suggestion is strong when people are enchanted...!!!
Now empty your pockets and give them to me.
