Wonderful new pics here! Great work with this glass, redchilicat, I agree with Tara.

And Auntie T, a wonderful work by yourself, too. Looks great!

Love you, hate Poe!  :)  LOL!  Okay.  As long as you're up and awake, you might as well entertain yourself.  While hanging out with a bunch of artists on the internet might be a little odd, at least it keeps you off the street and out of the bingo parlors.

Wow!  I've never played bingo.  I'm not old enough yet.  Over here, bingo is played mostly during the middle of the day, so the people who play are mostly retired folks.  It's cheap entertainment, so it's pretty hard to get in trouble playing bingo!  :)  Maybe "stay out of the bingo parlor" isn't as funny over there as it is over here.  LOL!  Of course you're sooooooooo much older than I am!  :)

Well shoot,... now you have gone and spilled the beans, now everyone will want to get thier hands on my re-juvinating formula, when I first presented it to the London school of medicine,
the professor told me that this will revolutionize the reversal of the aging process, now as you look at that photo of me at my home page, you just cannot accept the fact I stood shoulder to shoulder with Lord Nelson at Waterloo, or was that Nelson Lord, at Waterloo station?...LOL!

I am for bed now sweetie, see I can do as I am told :)

**Alrightie then .... here is my final upload to this challenge.  It's just so unfortunate that I waited THIS LONG to 'get into this', because tonight I had so much fun with my flashlight.  I Gathered up all kinds of little odds and ends around the house and just played ...

I couldn't have had this fun if it weren't for the inspiration you all gave to me. 

Piet, you have been my constant source of fun ... and your endless amount of know-how has always amazed me.  There is just no end to your kindness, and generosity.   Thank you for so much .. I owe you big time.  :)

And Ronnie, the time you've spent finding so much information for me on this lighting thing has not gone by unnoticed.  I appreciate all that you have shared with me .. and your encouragement and enthusiasm has always been such a blast.

thank you all .. for a great month - and a Fun challange.

That's great, Shari!  It was worth the wait.  :)  Besides ... SOMEbody has to be posting at the end of a challenge!  Otherwise we could make 'em two weeks long and have 24 a year.

Yikes!  I bet you wouldn't want to have to think up 24 per year, would you?   I know I sure couldn't do it!

:)

Thanks for the link, Joe.  Awesome stuff!

RJ, you rock with the WB info.  Thanks for the e-mail!
