Really miss seeing you at all the stapshows in the East. You were one of the reasons my sister and I attended. Miss you loads! If I ever get out in your area, you can bet I'll be signing up for a class.

Thanks for visiting

I love Chris Cozen's use of nature in her pieces so I am totally thrilled to have received this wonderful POD stencil set from Artist Cellar . BTW Chris's new book with Julie Pritchard is incredible.
