If they mean me, please be assured I did so - about page 115 now...a few back. We have been busy on this post these past weeks! Did Logos post a photo for real? I have not seen it but if so tell me what page.
If she pops in she can see this works like this - my Holiday card to all....

Happy Holidays everyone. Love and peace to all of you! ~ Janine
I don't mind being called Uncle by the young, but I don't actually prefer it either by everyone else. I kid around that I'm old, but i don't want to be reminded. ;)Quote:

Aww thanks Janine! I dont take any of them but i collect photos and drawings of books off the web. I dont think there's anything more beautiful and photogenic then a book:) If you ever want a new pic of any kind I'd be happy to give you a nice one of a book ;) I like your avatar too! When i first saw it and didnt know what it was, it was great fun trying to figure it out and making up all these stories behind it. :p :thumbs_upQuote:

Thanks for all your help, and as you can see, I did manage to post the drawing actual card size, but I have to post it now once in a while (for this week) since I have to paste the address in each time. Really that is no big deal - I have it saved in a program for quick reference. I think it might be overwhelming to put it my post body too often, so it will be posted periodically.Quote:

Not here!
See you around the post.... J :)
Drama, well you have great taste in photos, girl! I right click all the time on net photos and have files and files myself. I am kind of addicted to copying now and saving everything. I have a lot of art files categorised by artists on disks. Thanks for the offer of a photo. I might take you up on it sometime. I probably should have put a nativity or another artist's work pertaining to Christmas in my avy for now, but I was too lazy to change it and too busy with holiday stuff to have the time.Quote:

I have some old books tied with a ribbon just sitting out looking interesting in my room. They are tiny old volumes of Shakespeare plays; I found them in the "give-away" bin at my local library - what a find! I thought they are "precious little treasures". See, we think the same way, Drama. :)
Now that I see the detail, that is gorgeous Janine. Really beautiful.Quote:

:thumbs_up Ok... Toni. I knew you were so pretty! Your mother is pretty, too and your little brother is handsome - tell him I said so. Lovely smile and eyes. How sweet a photo of your family. Good for you girl posting finally! I love this thread. We all get to really meet each other face to face. Nice photo - is that an elf in the background or two of them? Cute!:D
TONI!!!!!! My dear beautiful alien! Whadya know?You are as beautiful as your heart :) What a nice looking family you have there Toni and Lain! And your little brother is adorable :D
Face and Mind
Soul and Heart
When it comes to this Alien's beauty
There is no one place to start
Stunning smile, silk hair
Eyes so pretty they are hard to bear
Didnt think anything could reflect such a lovely soul
Until we saw the beauty that reflects her as a whole
Aww.. Thank you very much for your compliments, Janine. :blush::blush::blush: Yes, I'll tell my brother.. I guess he will blush too! :)
And the background, I think they are 2 children on a cart? This photo was taken in a mall..:D

And you darkened the photo...hmmm..:p
Courage is the only thing, dearie Toni, my cutest sis. :) See, they like you!
oh, geez, man. I didn't "darken" the photo. That's how it came.. I think it needs some lightening..hold on........:D
I like the photo as it is. Toni is so petite and so adorable. I knew it from her posts and her haiku's.
Aww, toni, you are pretty!!
Wonderful photo, toni! :)
Yay! Three cheers for the most courageous and unreasonably timid pretty young alien around. ;) :D :thumbs_up
I suppose I will now have to keep up my end of the bargain . . . *sigh* Okay.
Good photo toni. :D
Yes, yes, you have to, Shouty. She's waiting.... http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/engel/n015.gif
Actually, the many who call me "Uncle" keep me feeling young, because I have always enjoyed the company of young people-- you can sometimes learn a lot from them by being part of the gang. But your feelings are certainly respected. Not only a tiny poetess, but a gifted artist as well! That is lovely! And so delicate looking, like the dancer from The Steadfast Tin Soldier. Your gifts are amazing! :thumbs_up :)Quote:

Your path yet undecided may lie ahead,
But the wisdom gained from family is without price
One day you may take your own son by the hand
And give him the same words of advice.
The ones who love you most are those you cannot afford to loose:
And it will help guide the step you take along the path you choose

Aww, Toni you look adorable!! :D :D I'll never understand people's severe apprehensiveness towards sharing their lovely pictures.
Pendragon, what nice compliments. :) I need inspiration - I have lost touch with the art field and most importantly, my own work. I need to re-emerse myself in it, or try to do small projects like this one again. I have others you will like even more. This actually is not my favorite, but is my Christmas card, so it applies to now.
Sometimes we lose faith in ourselves. You can all probably relate, as all writers/artists can. We are not so different....we are all sensitive and observant of life, nature, beauty, etc. This site is putting me back "in touch" with people who think like me and my true self, and I am grateful. After Christmas I hope to make up a blog of my artwork. I have so much I can show, but need better photos or scans of some. The lit net will be my vehicle to have a one man/woman show, right?
Pen, I enjoy your poems - so personal to the people on here. That is really nice. You are their beloved Uncle.
I like being just "Janine" and "tiny poetess" is cute, since mostly I have posted Haiku's and some short simplistic poems, so far. I am tiny, too, just 5'.
Your self portrait photo I saw in the your post before. Such an inquisitive look. So what is with the pipe - just for effect like Sherlock Holmes or what? I read that you said you don't smoke it really. You are funny!
Well Janine, if your first beautiful artistic display is any indication of whats to come I simply cannot wait :D .
Thank you for the comment on my poems. It means a lot, coming from one of your own rare talents.Quote:

I write short mysteries for John Olsen's The Shadow Magazine in Review Website where we keep alive the pulp magazine/OTR character "The Shadow". I have published about 35. You may find some in the bad pages of the Brainteasers Thread under games. I have a short story posted on the pulp characters, if you'd like to read it. Click the link at the bottom. Keep up the fine art and poetry! Pen. :)
Tend, Thanks so much! A friend of mine made me a blog, but I never added to it. It is just a photo of me from awhile ago and something short about me being an artist and then a few photos of my artwork I sent to him via internet. Sadly, I could not figure out the formatting and the photos needed to be reshot or scanned, and I put it off. I will look into it after the holidays. I hope to make a better one on this site and maybe the Yahoo site as well. It will be a challenge and fun! Time to get back out into the art world. Too much time has lapsed. I did not think my work would hold up on the computer but so far I have had good results. Thanks so much for your compliments. 4 intense years of study at a notable art college apparently did pay off.
I sent this Christmas card through the mail many years back and have some copies left, but now the cabinet where I have them stored is jammed and I can't get it open presently. I suppose this can entice everyone to see my other stuff and hopefully will inspire me. I need that - all artists do.
Toni you and your mom are beautiful. Your brother looks like a great kid. You have a wonderful family. :)Quote:

Interesting collection - pipes. I have had a few, selling antiques, but nothing as exotic as you mention. A Gandaff pipe would be so cool and a Holmes pipe - great! Glad to hear the pipe is but an ornament and not an addiction. Better for your health. Good for you quiting! :thumbs_up
:alien: I have heard of "The Shadow" - wasn't that an old radio broadcast? (of course I am not that old) I will check out the links you have provided. They sound interesting. Thanks and you keep up your good work of creativity and writing, too!
Wondering where my left hand went, Mads? I'll give it to you...:p
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...ekwithIda1.jpg
:wave: Ok Lainy, can you explain this photo to us. :goof:
...her right hand went away!! :eek: :bawling:
Still looking lovely, though, Lain. Peculiar limb situation notwithstanding.
Hey Janine! Obviously, you haven't seen the other photo that was similar to this that I posted a week back (it was also during the Philippine Fashion Week); and Maddie said that my left arm was nowhere to be located! So I posted this photo to prove to Mads that indeed, my left arm exists and that I'm no alien. :p (No offense to My Dear Aliens...:alien::alien: )Quote:
