Wow Laura, this is so cool. It looks like it's painted. Beautiful work again Laura. #1189422Laura E. Swan 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!!Denny E. Barnes October 08, 2009
Dark night, Star so bright,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

Don't worry, this star is OK, he only pretends to be bad :-) #8020764Laura E. Swan 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...
HEY! WHAT WAS THAT, that JUST FLEW BY US??

I am not sure it is safe to go away and leave you to your own devices Laura! LOL!!!Laura E. Swan 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
