She has an autistic child about Rexy's age. I don't think she is active in ZNE but I see her on Flickr, etsy, and some of her stuff has been in Romantic Homes.Gina M Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153527688211264822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864752335205776402.post-26938377627847140292007-12-27T19:38:00.000-08:002007-12-27T19:38:00.000-08:00Happy Holidays, Laurie.

I loved looking at the photos of your accordian book and reading your thoughts about your family...this time of year is for reliving old memories and it is what makes me sad for those who are gone, but also makes me smile for the memories I have of them. I wish for you a time of fun memories this Holiday Season!Jo Anne O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15893357205938906463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864752335205776402.post-37767938625280405352007-12-21T14:23:00.000-08:002007-12-21T14:23:00.000-08:00Dear sweet loudlife.....I am so glad you further s...Dear sweet loudlife.....I am so glad you further shared your work! I loved seeing your and your family's picture on the map; it is clear that you are tremendously loved by your husband, daughter and the beautiful spirits around you. I too raise my children without a mother or grandmothers. I strangely attribute all of my eccentric maternal behavior to this fact....I don't think the fun loving spirits around me mind one bit.<BR/>Fondly, Fondly.....jodiJodi Pearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05677764332609905647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864752335205776402.post-68700332959214293192007-12-21T14:16:00.000-08:002007-12-21T14:16:00.000-08:00LAurie as always I love your work but I adore that...LAurie as always I love your work but I adore that book!

I hope that you will print this post and save it in a safe place, for Rexy. <BR/>My grandma and my great aunts were the foundation of our big extended family. The last of them passed away this year. I felt that deeply. My mom is gone too. She loved Christmas, so I miss her especially, this time of year.<BR/>I think you express yourself very well, both visually and with words.<BR/>If I don't see you soon, I wish you and your family a happy Christmas.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>LenaLenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147259175811183482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864752335205776402.post-85413883149473615172007-12-21T05:33:00.000-08:002007-12-21T05:33:00.000-08:00LaurieNice to meet you, at this webworld.

I love your blog, I love your thinking, your creativity...it speaks volumes.<BR/><BR/>Your thoughts on Rexy perhaps talking to your mother and grandmother...don't discount it. I believe it is true. Children are much more attuned to these things because they are innocent...we lose that as we grow and our innocence leaves us. Memories stay with us, love stays with us and shows itself in all it's forms.<BR/><BR/>Thank you also for the link to your friend's breast cancer blog..I will definitely check that out as well.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to meet you and I know I will return here often.<BR/><BR/>Happy Hanukah and all the very best of the season to you.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271529958269038071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4864752335205776402.post-88972792724656179342007-12-20T22:56:00.000-08:002007-12-20T22:56:00.000-08:00Laurie - thanks for sharing another post about hom...Laurie - thanks for sharing another post about home. I think we are all realizing, even though we knew it, that family and loved ones make a home, not the location. I'm sorry you have lost so many of your female mentors, and pray you have found new friends to fill that void. And about mourning the book you sold....time to make another! I'm sure it will just as powerful and sentimental since you have not lost any of those thoughts or memories. Do it for yourself!michelle wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424558212275956184noreply@blogger.com
