Your gallery is always so beautiful, Sister. BP will keep it in tact for you for a while even if you can't see it anymore...Unless they changed their policy. Sure hate to see all these awards disappear. Please come back next year or sooner. We all go through dry seasons so when you get the BUG again please come home. :)We will miss you here until then.
Love, Lala
P.S. I got my eye on YOU TOO! Lol!!! Watching for your return. xo #10760888

Hi Wm! Fancy meeting you here! I hope you are getting a little better each day? :))) #10761003Karen Kessler July 09, 2013
Thank you, Lala & Wm! I decided to clean out my gallery & BP won't let me delete the ones with awards anyway! :)I'll try to pop in every now & then. I can leave messages thru BP, too (like anyone can). I know this because years ago before I joined I would get on every now & then to look at the beautiful photos. I would send BP messages to some of the photographers about how much I enjoyed theirs! #10762042

Wm, I hope you start feeling better & are able to get out on some photo shoots before you go stir crazy!Yes, it is sad saying goodbye to someone you've never even met. I really struggled with it last night, but feel like it is time for a little break.
