  2. Bravo on that painting. You are such a true artist. Of course to me it is those that make a painting look most realistic but I am not artistic one bit but I thought it was a photo at first glance so you must be good in my book. Thanks for the award. You are such a sweetie. Love the ribbon on the tree and the wrap. Great colors.

  6. Your "Happy" posts are always so sweet. I love what I can see of your tree and precious, special ornaments. I have a "Grand" who would love a horse ornament like that one -- she has just started riding lessons. Congratulations on your win, you are so deserving. Hope you are having a wonderful holiday time!
