DAY 30.."BAD CO."

I worried all night but I had power when I got up. This project is what I worked on

for 4 days. I found some broken treasure when I started to unpack last week and

decided to re~purpose them. The doll was given to me by my Mother a week before

passing on and I had a night mare and this is a re~invention of the misery I dreamed of.

It was "terror" I was hanging around sme bad people and they ripped my pretty dress and

hung it up for me to see. What a CREEPY NIGHTMARE it was. Name of this presetation

is "BAD COMPANY!"

Hav a groovy day, we have lots of Rain still hope Sandy goes away soon. Jean
