I photographed the Heaven Bus a few weeks ago after a thaw from our first snow storm. I posted it in my gallery and Tedz was the first to comment..I can't remember exactly what his comment was but it inspired me. The image of the Heaven Bus was such a lonely one....it just begged for companionship. So I put myself as a youngster sitting on the front fender and sent it to Tedz inviting him to do the same and from there the image blossomed. Cindy was next and as you can see the timing was in her fortune...:)...over the last two weeks and many emails and images later Heaven was finally determined to be full....so those of you who were left out...we still wish you all the Joy and Happiness of a Happy Holiday Season and a Merry Merry Creative New Year....I'd like to personally thank all those that took the time out of their busy schedules to contribute to filling Heaven up!...Sincerely...SoloShado

HUGZ CINDY...couldn't have done it without you...Ho HO HO!!

Yes excellent work done here, not sure about the dodgy looking guy by the moose! The HC looks like a bit of a rascle lol

This is really cool. What a great idea, looks so lovely all the "little ones" good memories too. I gave a picture that was taken together with my brother on bed. I was that time almost 3 years old. It is a very precious picture, because he past away in 21-8-2000. I am happy that Danob is a part of it too, he lost his old pictures he scanned, but I save them after he send it to me. He have had a pc crash and lost them. So he will be verry happy too I guess. Thanks for asking me, I love it.....

It is my honor to thank you all for making Heaven what it turned out to be. A gathering of Friends. Every one of you contributed to giving this image life and now it becomes history, for all of us to enjoy and look back remembering Christmas 2004. Over the days of creating Heaven I felt as if I had come to know just a moment in time in each one of your lives. It has been a pleasure creating this image with all of you. I look forward to our continuing friendship and collaboration on Renderosity...I wish you all the best of Holidays...Fredric Reed..aka..Raz

Hey Sheila, JCV2 gave it for us all!
