You and I have both been painting for less than a year - hasn't it been an incredible journey?! Congrats on your award - so well deserved. And it was fun learning a little more about your! Married in Italy - how romantic!! Hugs, Silke
ReplyDeleteHi Kolleen! It was nice learning more about you. I can't believe you have only been painting for a year! I just started months ago, so it is nice to see someone else is a newbie at this. It's hard for me to share my paintings, it makes me feel way too vulnerable...you are all so talented at it!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs to you! MUAH!
hi...i miss you.
ReplyDeletelet's make an appointment.
our secretaries suck!
