Laura, this is beautiful...love the effects and colors....heard anything more on Rolan? #8377560

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 12, 2010

Hi Doug, John, Dr. Silly, Monnie, Ron, Jeff, Annette, Steve, Tammy, Gina, Randy, Rony and Shelly!

John & Shelly First! YES. We have heard from ROLAN! Max did. Max just wrote on the Heart Card tonight. I HEARD from ROLAN last night and added it to the Heart Card last night. :)

Rolan has already been released from the hospital and is in pain! Seems VERY SOON to send a person home!?

Max and I will post all updates on that HEART CARD, okay? :) Thank you for asking guys!

* * *

Thank you all for your kind words here. It was my first attempt at adding a sky. It might have been better cropped right down to the lower part of the forefront potted plant?

*

Jeff...I might re-adjust the title closer to what you said! Thanks! HA!

*

I'm tickled that you guys are enjoying the treatments and colors and even imagining a quiet place to sit and chat.

*

Wow! Thanks Gina! Nice to know this really did catch your eye! At the risk of being redundant, it's good to have you back around!

*

Hey RANDY- If you are still attached, I was going to post those logs that I said I would for you, but after a long while in DDR trying to make it a beautiful image I threw in the towel. So, I guess you will just have to come back to Canada and see it for yourself! :) It will be worth the trip! :) Camera in hand!

*

Thanks for the encouragement all.

-Laura :D

Laura E. Swan level-classic February 20, 2010

Hi Barbara!!! Hi Mumj!!! Hi Chrissy!!!

Thank you very much you guys.

An artist, Sis? :D Thank you!

My ART work seems to change over the years. Ink and Pencil Drawing, Ceramics, Watercoloring, Photo and Watercolor Card Making, Pressed Flowers, Plate Painting...and now PHOTO DDR! HEY! I wonder if ALL of them could be combined somehow? Now THAT would be a trick!

I bet a ton of folks on BP have had a similar experience in one way or another. Hobbies evolving and changing.

Anyway thanks all! I appreciate the visit!
