Hey I just noticed this thread was alive. For some reason the little folder is gray (vs. blue) for me so I thought it was dead and haven't even checked it. So glad you are all out and about! I hope you are all ready for Christmas. I know two little children who are going bonkers with excitement and anticipation! Just sent them off to bed with their little footed jammies and their visions of sugar plums (whatever they are). : )

should see our students...lawddddd is it every wild at school on last day prior to holiday...mercy...lol

hugs to everyone! What a lovely visual you paint with/about your beautiful children/family Aimee :-)

Since Ursa was missing when we got home from work on Oct 31 our family feels odd, for lack of better word. She was/is Michael's baby and I suppose I'm ever bit attached to her as he was. We still leave food out for her and hold out thoughts and prayers that some miracle will bring her home. We continue to run ads in local papers. Over the holidays I ask that you pray a simple prayer for Ursa, no matter what God's will is for her...that she is safe and happy. I pray daily for Natayla to heal and return soon!!! we need her!!!!

love and blessings to all, S

Hi Ladies :o)

Just to let you know I am home and to thank you all for your kind thoughts, words and prayers whilst I have been in hospital. Once I have caught up on a few things here I'll write a bit more to you all :o)

Much love,

Natalya :o)

Just wanted to check we are all in for WPL4?

I am going to struggle as I can not get around very well at all but I would still like to be part of the team and will do my very best to enter each week.

So, is team Femme Fatale the same for WPL4? :o)

I'm in!!

And Natalya, don't look at it as a limitation as to what you can do, but an opportunity to creatively photograph all the stuff within arm's reach. :) (Dontcha hate it when people who aren't in your shoes are all happy and optimistic about it?)

Just have fun, and you'll be up and running soon, I hope!

Thanks Karma :o) Yes, you are right, an opportunity to see how long it would take for me to set the tripod up and then find something in my flat that meets the challenge each week lol....Ask Andi just how hard it is for me to get around right now and he'll tell you I probably shouldnt even attempt to take a picture for a while!! Mind you, he cleaned my sensor yesterday so I am desperate to get using the camera!

Glad you are in :o) Can you PM me with your choice of number between 1 and 24? Thanks :o)

i think everyone was definitely coming back. the only ??? was aimee b/c she is so busy and wasn't sure. she may have committed and i missed it though.

any # is fine

Hello fellow Femmes. Natalya I am so glad you are home and starting your road to recovery. That was very scary. Hange in there!

About WPL4...I'm struggling a bit. I really want to participate - I LOVE this team - but I struggle because of other committments. I have a personality that does not let me "blow off entering" if I'm on a team. I usually enter the majority of challenges though even when I'm not on a team so I think I will just propose this to my fellow teammates...I would be honored to stay a part of the team for WPL4 but I'm going to try hard to keep things in perspective, meaning I may miss entering at times. I would like to give you this opportunity to cut me loose if you would like to open the slot to someone you may be able to count for 100%. I would not feel badly about it in the least. If you are interested in keeping me, I will make every attempt to enter each week but I'm not going to be a FREAK about it like I was for WPL3 and therefore there may be times when you get nothin' from me - hopefully not but...

Sorry for the book!

Well, I'm gonna step out there and say I 'speak' for the whole team when I say YOU'RE IN!!! We have had such a blast the past few months I dont think any of us want things to change.

We all have things outside of DPC that may mean we can not enter every week but I am more than certain we each understand that :o)

YAYYYY!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I was holding my breath because I REALLY wanted to stay & play with you ladies but I would have completely understood a different response!

Also, did you hear? No Team 5D for WPL 4. Our odds just improved!

Team Untouchables put the smackdown on them pretty hard last round. Might take them a season or two to get over it (that or they realize that it is a hefty commitment and they might have some sense of balance in their lives).

Anyways - glad you kept Aimee. She is a keeper for sure. We had one of our teammates from season 1 and 2 bow out for season 3 and he regretted it right after the first challenge - and I know Aimee would have been bummed as well.

Good luck to you next season and if we arent in the same division next time around I hope to see you all in the finals!

I *think* were full, nsoroma, but will definitely keep you in mind if we need another.

So, if aimee is in (and she is) and hanae is, that means that three of us will be competing against husbands. hehehehhe
