ReplyDeleteTracy,
ReplyDeletemaking the collages has been an outlet and i'm lovin' it. i hope you make some. I'd love to see what you come up with! i made another last night.
your last few posts have been great fun to read. I love your new dog. I have a yorkie-poodle mix. He was a yorkie poo before the trend! what personality. he is like a cartoon character that has come to life. Congrats on the show, your work looked good!
