"Dear Antoinette ...


is a wonderful artist
which I count her as a friend.

Once you are lucky to know her,
you will see how wonderful person
she is. She dares to be different and
I see that she is doing a great job.

This is not hard to see, when you
check her photostream and the words
she uses. Your visit to her photostream
will be a real treat for you.

Try and see it for yourself.

I am always grateful whenever she
stops by in my photostream and let me
know what she really thinks about
my pictures.


Wishing all the best
for the rest of her life


Greetings from New York City"

"I know if I'm having a bad day I can always head to Antoinette's stream for words of wisdom and a beautiful photo to bring a smile to my face!"

Lumase says:
"Antoinette's apparent lightness hides an infinite treasure box, with ever expanding walls of knowledge. Beside her unquestionably beautiful visual works, I feel her stream just like a universe of culture; and I'm grateful to her B(e)i(n)g Bang for what it started: a daily opportunity to find myself reacher."

"Flickr would be missing something vital without its colorfulexpressions! I wrote a testimonial for this dear friend well over a year ago, but with a recent change of her buddy icon, I felt like this was a perfect time for an update.

Antoinette is the very heart and soul of an artist and visiting her photostream is nothing short of an adventure!!! She is in love with words, with ideas, with shapes, with color, with spontaneity, with sharing, with life … and she is in love with LOVE. Serendipity rules in her world! And through her amazing creativity she brings all these things to her photostream in one inspiring form or another! I promise, if you open yourself up to her work, you will be touched and will come away richer for the experience.

Dear Antoinette, you are a true kindred spirit … a rare and precious treasure in my life. I am reminded of a quote you added to the comments of one of my photos:

"Even though we've changed and we're all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we'll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends."

It's likely that Flickr will pass from our lives one day … but we will always be soul friends.

Love and hugs from your 4Real friend,
Larry

p.s. Just came across this quote and HAD to add it … this is YOU, dearest friend!

"She would rather light candles than curse the darkness and her glow has warmed the world."
~ Adlai E. Stevenson"

Blunder says:
"What is freedom? Many things have been said on that subject. Personally I think that the soul can only be truly free when it can find a door or a window through which it can express itself creatively. Some people posses the skeleton key that unlocks all the doors and windows of the souls in the world, in every person. To me the Colorfulexpressions is one of those people. A one woman liberation force. It's impossible to see Antoinette's work and not be inspired."

"Antoinette seems to me like an overactive child prodigy full of amazing creativity and ideas. Whenever I visit Antoinette's photostream, looking at the images and reading the words, I seem to hear her talking excitedly like a little girl waving her hands and running around the Flickr room hugging every friend visiting her. She has a very open mind and unique interpretation of things, people and events, which often leaves me speechless for quite a while. She is an artist but she has an Einstein brain. She is a caring and honest sister, too. I feel so blessed to have met her and known her little by little along the way. A photo having a piggie disguised as the little red riding hood was the first one that I commented on her photostream and I am still having fun wandering on this fairyland of hers meeting different fairytale personages disguised as chocolate, Easter eggs, clocks, stranded wood, etc."

"Antoinette is a wonderful person. She is very giving of her tallents and her time. She always has very kind worda to say when she leaves acomment. Words can't describe how much her friend ship means to us all. So this poem really says it all.


You are unique and special
No one else has your special blend of talents, abilities and vision
No one else can love exactly like you love
And care exactly like you care
And feel exactly like you feel
No one else can fill your shoes like you do
So hold your head up…you are one of a kind
~Larry / 4Real~


Always, Brandie"

"Antoinette's great heart reflects itself in her photography. Her photos, like her, and creative, warm, and full of heart. They reach out to each and every one of us and make us smile and chuckle and reflect.

I feel lucky to be considered Antoinette's friend, because she makes me feel loved and wanted every day in many ways. I hope I can do the same for her."

peggy. says:
"It is hard to find words to describe Antoinette's work -- there are simply TOO many! You'll find her sensitivity and emotion shine through her always creative images. The digital art in her stream is an inspiration to me, as well as the way she chooses always the right words for her motivational posters. I'm proud to call her my flickr friend and can't wait to see what's in store for us next from Antoinette!!"

"The Journal Lady® is a hoot. Her photos are colourful (of course), playful, fun and full of photoshop imagination. She makes her images speak deeply and playfully at the same time and that is quite a gift. Hang around her photostream a while - it's a good place to be."
