I hope those are not MY mushrooms that you're handing out, SSSLala!! HA!
Amazing job on these beautiful flowers! I love it!
And I think I love the original even more. The colors, the clarity, the details are outstanding. Composition too. And on the beauty-scale: 10 out of 10!!!
I really hope you will submit the original to the contest, Sis!! It's a winner!!!!!!!!! Please believe me. #8165408

Okay, SSSKiki. I will!!! Maybe tomorrow. Are we allowed to do that? Same flower, different treatment in the same month? I think so. :)

"Your" mushrooms you say? Why, NO SISTER! I dont have any (left) from the gazillions we found in your pockets all during OCTOBER! HAHAHAHA!!!

Thank you Renee! This was super fun to make! Glad you like it!!!

AEK November 25, 2009 0

as usual, always a chuckle here in laura's house. laughing as I type.

thanks, laura, for the adorable thanksgiving gift. i'm also amazed that you've figured out how to embed a music file on your great photo of the chains. I changed all the colors on my classic gallery - I broke the entire page - and betterphoto had to go in, do a repair job, and send me a css coach letter. I insisted on being gray! HA!

HAPPPY THANKSGIVING TOMORROW, Stef, Juri, Doug (Not Jeff), Maria, Gord, Steve, Michelle Renata, Jeff (Not Doug), SSSKiki, Monnie, Mr. Tree, Ann, Arlene, Karen, Bro-lan and Ellen!

I know some of you are in countries that don't celebrate Thanksgiving but we can still all be thankful for each other and for what we have, right???

Canada had Thanksgiving in early October....so we celebrated it then.

I surely am Thankful for each one of you and really have enjoyed your feedback on this one.

Arlene, sorry to hear of your gallery troubles!! Yikes! Glad it's all fixed now!

Yes, the frac filter is so worth having and learning. It really CAN make colorful, creative, pretty things. It's been really great having it. (It was a birthday gift!!! HA! Best one, too!)

Mr Tree...I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS as a stained glass front door! WOWZA!

Do you know how to make them? YOU'RE HIRED! :D

Thanks very much, all!!!

THIS IS SUCH AN HONOR! I have been away most of the day. To come home to see that BetterPhoto has chosen these images to be an example in their newsletter is so rewarding to me!

(HA!)

I love showing you guys where my work starts and where it ends. If you know me well, you know this to be true.

So at this moment I'd like to thank BP FIRST for noticing this part of my professional side. I'd also like to TOTALLY thank all of you, who have always been such a wonderful support system to me here. -YOU- are the reason that I share what I do.

Thank you all for reading your BP Newsletters!!! HA! YOU FOUND ME!

NOTE: ~NOW~ YOU ~KNOW~ that BP is really wanting us -all- to participate in sharing more and more with one another. It's so positive and it sets us free to share what we know and to see others grow because of it.

Did you notice???? They left instructions on how to share your B4 and after shots! So step up folks! It will be fun.

(Be PROUD of where you started and where you finished in DDR!!! BRING IT ON!)

I'm on top of the world right now and I see all of you there with me...

Thank you ALL again!
