Watercolor cards

The summer is motoring by and I realize I haven't posted in a while. I've been working hard on some new items for the fall. In fact I may have overdone it, my shoulders have been aching lately!

I'm really excited about a show I have coming up but I'll talk more about that in a future post.

Talk to you soon :-)
