Hi Lori!
It's been forever since I've been here.!
I have moved once again in your neck of the woods and trust me..."I have felt so left out and away from my loving artists friends. I started my goal in 2009 and haven't gotten to far along or not as far as I would have liked to see myself
Anyway....I had you on my list of people to reconnect with and here you are having had wonderful success
My gosh I am so proud and happy for you! Can't wait to catch up on your adventures! Love love love the stamps wow!!! Big hugs co Darlene
