  19. Linda, These are wonderful...so strong and rich colors.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh my gosh, are you kidding me? Renee would be telling us the raunchiest jokes and insisting that we serve hot dogs at a COFFEE shop, and we will be slipping on the floor from all the coffee we had spilled from laughing too hard.

    ReplyDelete
  29. They look good to me...something for a kitchen or dining room, maybe?

  30. Linda be careful of Ces because of her spectacular talent in all areas and the fact that she needs never to rest I suspect that she is a vampyre and Bella is now suspecting that she may be some form of a robot.

    What are your feelings darling friend.

    Love Renee xoxo

  31. thanks u snowbrush :))))))))

    RENEE! ooh i never thought about her being a robot...hmmm.. now do i ever feel silly for conversing with it...lol! i was thinking she probably has personal assistants out the wahzoo. you know..someone writting her novels....someone searching itunes for all those great disco tunes, someone applying the paint to all her her creations. ... oh and definitely someone to do all her blogging.. she always has a comeback comment...never misses. hmmmm we have to crack this mystery renee.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yes, that's it! I have four assistants! Thank you Linda. That is the most logical assumption unlike the silly vampyre and robot theory those two Mental Ninjas are concocting. As for Mental Ninja, you are one too and in fact I have an official certificate for you over at my blog!

  33. Hey! Who turned on the lights in here?!


    ...oh goodness me. The word verification is "ouchi"

    ReplyDelete
  34. hey bella, u know why i turned on the lights don't u???! i wanted to see if ces was really a vampire. so i guess she is not...she stayed long enough to write a comment. ehehe

    oh hi ces!! thank u for the mental ninja certificate.!!! muah? are u sure...... hey i find it VEEERY hard to believe that u are not a liberal???huh?
