Mixed Baggage

It has been an exciting, busy week - our oldest graduated from high school, we attended two graduation parties, enjoyed hosting family in from Seattle and seeing other family that was in town as well.  The days flew by in a blur but were so enjoyable - still trying to recover. . .

    And amidst all that you even had time to paint this lovely lady! I can't choose between the black & white version and the coloured, love them both!

    Wow! What a busy week and it seems like it was a really fun and enjoyable week! Graduations are lots of fun, especially with family and friends all around. Hope you get a little recovery this coming week. Happy PPF!
