Michelle very interesting piece but also, lovely, in it's own way. I really enjoy visiting you and seeing the various project you're working on and ideas. Appreciate your inspiration very much. xx
So much fun Michelle! And you're taking STUDYING UNDER THE MASTERS!! I came *THIS* close to taking it also, and already have regrets that I didn't. :-( Your girls are beautiful - as always. A very distinct style of your own. Bravo! xx
