Well now your both gone nothing left for me too do but blow the place up!! Eh Take care you two(((Hugs)))!!! Dayna xx

Beautiful work. Sorry to hear that, have no idea what events have happened but I will miss viewing your beautiful art.

will miss you and hope that you return soon. so many are leaving and i would love for them to keep in touch and let us know where they are and how to see there wonderful work. lol paula

I have no clue whats been going on, but I guess for those of us that just enjoy each other's art and comments, will lose two very talented individuals. My advise to you should you come back and post your amazing visions....STAY OUT OF THE FORUMS, please. Unless your in a help forum, you might as well be in a bitch match, and who needs that stress???? I don't forum, quit doing forums 5 years ago and my blood pressure went back to normal. Take care dear friend, I know I will have a hole in my heart for your wit and your tremendously wonderful images.

I dont know whats goin on either, sept that i'll miss looking at your oh so cute and lovely images, come back soon! :)

Now I'm really sad!!!

Out of the loop on some of the issues I guess...trying to find out what's up, but man...hate to see anybody go. Hope to see you make a return some day. :)

This is so adorable! Sorry to see you leave. I have no idea what's up, guess I should stop in the forums, but maybe it's a good thing I don't.

A wonderful image as a farwell but it is hard to see all this wonderful artist leave!!!! We will miss you and the other!!!! I hope may be one day everything will change and we will see you back!!!! Hugs Ute

A wonderful image but sad to hear your going for a while....

THIS JUST F**CKING BLOWS THAT PEOPLE ARE LEAVING. WHAT A WASTE. I LOOKED FORWARD TO YOUR ART.

I too am in the dark as to why people are leaving. I will miss all the wonderful things you have shared. How sad I didn't get a chance to view or comment on them all. Thanks for sharing and Good Journey. BJ

I am very sorry to hear you are leaving..you do wonderful work which will be sorely missed. HUGS Neesa

This is adorable!!!!! I love this it is so cuteeeeee' I am in a fog myself in wondering what is going on here.....I agree with redflame...I hope that everyone that leaves pls stay intouch with us here....... take care hon hugs anne

OMG! This place is crumbling before our very eyes! I can't say I didn't see this coming since before the conversion, though, and to add to it all the unpleasant events that have left a bad taste in our mouths. This is really sad, Laurie! It's like the boat is capsizing and everyone is grabbing a dingy! I wish you the very best and hope you decide to return one day and/or keep in touch at least! Not sure what I'm going to do yet as the magic has definitely dissipated at the hands of those making stupid decisions. I'm afraid to look in the galleries tonight anymore as I have seen that Perry and Bill have left, as well. Ack! take care of yourself, Laurie, and don't be a stranger! Perhaps we'll meet at another peaceful place someday! Huge hugs to you!

I just love that little cutiepie, nobody makes sweeter images than you my friend.. Just look at those eyes!! This belongs on the cover of a childs book :o) Im so so sorry to see you leave.. I dont know whats going on.. So all I can say is, I will MISS you so much Laurie, and I will soo miss your MAGIC, beauty and your wonderful comments that always bring a smile on my face.. Please come back soon sweetie... Lots of hugs and love from your friend Christel

Your images are very sweet and beautiful! Sorry to hear that you are leaving! Hope we will see you back!

That's very sad that you are leaving. I will miss your artwork very much. I hope you come back.................

What a precious image! I'll miss your special touch here and hope you reconsider leaving. I don't know what is going on either...I've been out of the loop for too long now so all I can do is make images that make me happy and post some here. I wish you'd do the same hon!

very sorry for whatever happend, i'm dumb to the fact, great piece far higher marks than the 5 allowed... lol

I'm with Carol on this subject! For most of us, the politics is beyond us, all we can hope for is that our artistic endevors fall on eyes that will appreciate them, and many of yours, as with this one, make these old eyes smile! Hugs, and I do hope your able to resolve your life issues, and return back to us soon!

What should I say...will miss your images....see you soon! Take care....

This is the most beautiful picture I saw today ! I'm just discovering your amazing gallery and learn at the same time you leave the place ? Just my luck ! Anyway, I don't know about the events you mentioned, but pictures of such quality and sensitivity prove you're an Artist (emphase on the big "A"). So, don't give up, good luck on your real life issues and I hope to see more of your Art here or elsewhere !

Now this sucks . You have been such a sweet and dear friend for so long . I just love your art but not a fraction on how much I love you my friend. It is sad that people have been leaving in droves. The only thing that has kept me here is the friends that are still here. But looks like that reason is getting smaller and smaller . Love and Big Hugs

This really is sad news Laurie. I notice you have other life issues and I would like to think that, this is the main reason you have to leave for a while. But, as I said to someone else who is thinking of leaving, please consider the folk around you, who enjoy your work. You know who those people are and I would like you to consider me as one of them. I hope everything turns out well for you and maybe a small break will help you see things in a different perspective. The work is gorgeous and this is my point. You're far to well admired to stay away forever. Steve :o)

I too have just discovered your artwork..And your Gallery is amazing!!I also posted my last image here today..Time to move on to greener pastures..and grab that dingy before rendo goes down..I was in the forums fighting for our rights but we dont have many left and people just like friction in the forums and nothing gets done...and the administrators and mods are experts at ignoring people..ect ect...but as of today the complaining ends...

Dear Laurie, you have been one of my dearest friends since I joined this community. Your art is so wonderful and uplifting to me and everyone! You will be missed terribly by all of us who know you and have enjoyed the beauty you create. I too am leaving the community. I am so sad for my friends who have been treated ufairly, and my heart just isn't into it because of this. I will still visit my friends, and maybe I will post an occasional image, but I will not be here as I have been in the past. I hope that your personal issues will be resolved in the best of ways, and that you will still find time in the future to post an image for all your many friends! My Love to you! Rob

Very charming indeed!

Oooh I just found you and made you a Favorite.... I hope you have your own web site or will return when life allows ... either way I hope you find time for your wonderful creative outlet....you and your art are SPECIAL! Sending good thoughts!!!! I just got to put this wonderful cuteness on my desktop for a while...thinking of you!!

My dear friend, I don't presume to know all of the reasons for your departure... but a few. Please know that I wish you and yours the best of all things. You have been an inspiration to me from the start. It is not just the image in itself that inspires. There is another dimension to your art and your words. One that makes you shine. Thank you for the many genuine smiles you have given me. I count the days until... :) L&Hs ~ Charlie
