    Love, love, love your art creations. I also love the painting you purchased. My husband and I have bought art throughout our marriage--it atarted 18 years ago with our 11 dollar painting of San Diego! We still love that painting. Anyway--enjoyed reading about your week.

    I *will* do more art with dd11 next year! In fact, I think I'll show her this blog post and see if she'd like to start this week. We have a gazillion seed catalogs just begging to be cut...
