These Roses Were Shot In Banff
While With RON & SHIRLEY McEwan!
Layered in SEVERAL TIMES.
Sized and Turned to Fit.

P.S. This Is What Happens To Me
While Camping & I Have No Internet!
(HA!)

I MADE MANY THINGS. I'LL SHARE THEM SOON!

Hi Sherran!!! I didn't see you there! You mean Mumj's?

There's that pensive look I like so much, Pom! Encircled by lovely flowers --- a very appealing addition.
WELCOME BACK TO THE BP FOLD! You - and your creativity - have been sorely missed.

Laura E. Swan July 24, 2010

Good morning Donna, Jo Ann, Monnie and Mary Beth! How are you ladies today?

Well, you have left me with a big smile. Thank you so much. It was fun to make creation. Wouldn't it be great if we got to dress like this? Flower head dressings? Of course we'd be chased by BEES all day. Humm...on second thought!

Sure appreciate the visit and really kind remarks!

O M G!! This has got to be one of the most fantastic images I've seen on BP, MSSLala!! Sooooooo beautiful. Different. Special. Unique. And how much fun it is to see your work in progress. I love the one with the tight cropping the best. But they'll all be added to my favs. #8783840

On Men!
Wonderful Work #8787936

Laura E. Swan July 26, 2010

Thank you Wm. Very sweet of you. :)

Well...MANY men, mind you, do that FISHING THING. Baiting gross hooks, using outhouses, totally roughing it. STINKY STUFF. (HA!) Gotta be a BIT stressful.

For me...I have peace, quite, an electrical outlet in the trailer (WOW! WHAT A CONCEPT!) and my imagination!

I have little to no choice. CREATE! :) #8787989
