Pampered Puss 2011

(With a little help from my friends...)

Finally home, but still not completely unpacked, I've (temporarily) lost the daily momentum to post pictures. I've still enjoyed looking through many "365" photos, and I've left a comment now and then. (I've laughed when I've been "caught" lurking!)

Today, commenting on one of last years photos, Kats Whiskas http://365project.org/katswhiskers suggested the picture would make a nice painting. It never dawned on me that I could fuss around with Photoshop and do this! I know it's not the same as posting a new picture I took today, but it's time to leave behind the photo I took in Switzerland and fast forward! In a way I was offered a WWYD challenge, and perhaps this will get the wheels rolling again, if only slowly, at the outset!
Ohhh its sooooooooooo nice to see you here Louise, we have missed you soooooooooo much! xXx
February 5th, 2011  
@judifff...I was missing you guys, too! It was nice to find a way to return!
February 5th, 2011  
Yippee a new picture when I drop in on you! Very sweet. Reminds me of the old Chessie logo for the C&O railroad.
February 5th, 2011  
@allie912 Could you tell I was refering to you when I said I'd been caught? I'm off to Google Chessie's photo!
February 5th, 2011  
So nice to see you around here again Louise! We've all missed you so much! This is too cute and it really does look like a painting.
February 5th, 2011  
long time no see... how do you do, Louise?
February 5th, 2011  
Louise, you are back:) Welcome. Glad to hear that you are safely back home.
February 5th, 2011  
Welcome home, Louise!
February 5th, 2011  
YAHOOOOOOOO! You are back! So happy to see your pampered friend too!
February 5th, 2011

February 5th, 2011

February 5th, 2011  
Long time no see. Glad you are back!! This looks neat
February 5th, 2011  
welcome back!
February 5th, 2011  
Welcome back Louise (and Ken) we've missed you! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your holiday, and that Paris lived up to expectations.
How is Ashton? I bet he changed while you were away!
February 5th, 2011

February 5th, 2011

February 5th, 2011  
Forgot to say--- Happy New Year!!
February 5th, 2011  
Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this came out great :0) Another great little freebie program I use sometimes is Fotosketcher. Now get yourself some canvas paper and print this up cause it seriously gorgeous x
February 5th, 2011  
Welcome home you worldly traveler. This is a very cool version, so pretty and soft.
February 5th, 2011  
@mrssmith @kerristephens @cherylsue3 @lachapaudie @christijo @bcurrie It's such fun to return and find the place hasn't changed as much as I thought! I've missed you all! Sue, I'll postdate a photo of Ashton one day...we saw a big change in the two months we were away! Of course we think he's adorable! And I must come by to see photos of your grandbaby! And one more "Yes"...Paris didn't disappoint! I have many photos to cull through!
February 5th, 2011  
Well my goodness Louise. It is surely great seeing you on here again. I too spotted you dropping in and out a few times, often wondering how you guys were doing. It's nice to see you again. Its been a long time. I bet it seems a little different having your feet planted back on familair territory again. This new year has brought about some great new talent, and its been keeping me busy trying to keep up on a daily basis. Hows the Grandbaby? Can't wait to see updated photos. I know how quickly they grow. Looking forward to seeing you get back into thge swing of things again. Hope all is well with your family.
February 5th, 2011  
glad to "see" you again!! it's been a while... as you might know, this is the busiest time of the year for me at work, pretty crazy, as a matter of fact, i just finally done working at home (i have been sitting in front of the computer crunching numbers for 7 hours straight! ) my eyes are hurting and my back is aching...my husband asked me why i'm still staring at the computer, i told him "but now i'm doing something for fun :) glad to have you back! i haven't been posting photos eveyrday, i'm not sweating it, as a second year "senior" member, i guess i'm cutting myself some slack, hahaha!
February 5th, 2011  
Welcome back, Mommers. Never the same if you're not around. You are the Queen here.
February 5th, 2011  
Yay! Your back ??!!??!!?? :)
February 5th, 2011  
@katswhiskers ...I know I have that canvas paper under a pile of boxes in a nearby closet... (I wonder what prompted me to buy it in the first place?!)
February 5th, 2011  
I really liked looking at the thumbnail, and then looking at this view. old photo becomes new photo!
February 6th, 2011  
@joannemed Thanks! It's nice to be back for awhile!
@moncooga You always know how to say the nicest things :-) And you! I thought I'd said my last good-bye, so I'm glad to know you're still on the block!
@cw24 Yes...I think so!
@chimom May I share your philosophy?! *Senior* member...that's too perfect! (Or does it not count yet as I haven't finished the Year One project?!) I hope you're being paid the Big Buck$ for all those hours of number crunching on a Saturday! Here's to enjoying Super Bowl Sunday with your family tomorrow...even if it is without the Bears...
February 6th, 2011  
Louise!!! Great to see you! beautiful painting! :)
February 6th, 2011  
tallyho...onward....glad you are back louise! but aren't you going to the royal wedding?
February 6th, 2011  
@chard my invitation seems to have gotten lost in the mail...
February 6th, 2011  
Welcome back, Louise! I've missed you! I've been so busy in the past couple of months that I haven't been spending nearly as much time as I'd like here, so I'll have to catch up on your posts. Still plugging away at my photos, though... I think I'm up to 332 as of today (which I have yet to take lol!). I hope you had a fabulous trip!
February 6th, 2011  
Such a perfect subject for the watercolour effect! A picture of purrfect satisfaction!
February 6th, 2011  
hey girl!! I didn't want to commit, and will jump in as I can. As you know so well, this project can morph on a regular basis for us. glad to see you too!
February 6th, 2011

February 6th, 2011

February 6th, 2011  
@Weezilou I've caught up a bit and filled in some spaces in December when the family was here, so you can see Eloise when you have time!
February 6th, 2011  
Glad to see you posting again! Love the editing here!
February 7th, 2011

February 16th, 2011  
Okay, I keep checking back to see if you've been playing around with Photoshop anymore. If so, I was going to have you give ME a few lessons. I love this shot of little Miss Kitty...so soft and dreamy. Hope all's well with you and Ken! :-)
February 17th, 2011  
Louise, we miss you on 365 and I miss you pictures. This one is so cute but I wish I could see your Paris' ones. Hope you'll find time to fill your calendar. How are you these days? I can't stop thinking it was too mad we couldn't meet... Bises

February 25th, 2011  
Gosh, it's been awhile since I popped over to your page--welcome back. I know you were out and about (: Hope you get back to posting, Louise.
February 25th, 2011  
Hi Louise, so you are back :) Sort of... he he, I'm the same really - 2011 hasn't really been happening for me in the 365 department. I hope you have had a wonderful trip, and that you stick around here - just now and then at least :)
February 27th, 2011  
Stopping by to say hello...Hello!
February 28th, 2011  
Oh, Louise, where the heck are you? I know, you are wrapped up in the SoCal rush! I have not been good at keeping up with 365 lately but really thought you would be here. Are you alright, Girlfriend??
March 2nd, 2011  
I hope you are doing okay. I just wanted to drop by and tell you that I thought of you today.
March 4th, 2011  
Like that ... glad to see that you pop in from time to time. Missed this picture on the daily feed so came looking to see if you are still around.... would love you to get back to posting regularly even if you don't do much in the way of commenting.
March 5th, 2011  
Welcome back. Good shot.
March 6th, 2011  
Hey there! Thought I'd drop by and say hello. I miss seeing your photos, even though I'm always behind on my comments anyway. I hope you are doing well!

Just sending you some love, Louise! Hope all is well. :)

March 15th, 2011

March 31st, 2011  
Hi Louise,

Thank you for the kind words. This has been quite a journey for me. My mom had lived with us most of Hannah's life. She came when Hannah was born, left when she was 18 months old, and returned when she was 3 years old. Never left again. We certainly had our "moments" but my mom was such a kind soul and tried to help out as much as she could. Her passing was unexpected, but peaceful.

I hope that you and Ken are doing well........

Hugs,

Barb
April 2nd, 2011  
Hi Louise! Just thought I'd stop by and say Hi! I hope all is well with you....

All's well with Ken and me and we've been enjoying life quietly here at home for a few months. I haven't taken many photos except for my cats & the squirrels in the park; I'm looking for new inspiration. I'm touched that you've left messages and I wanted you to know I've appreciated that so much! I think of you all so often! Happy Easter, upcoming soon!
April 9th, 2011  
@Weezilou But we love cats & squirrels pictures, why don't you upload them? :-)
Thanks for stopping by, we really miss you Louise, I was thinking of you (again) this week!
April 9th, 2011
