YES!!!!! ___ I hate rules. My lowest grade in school was always conduct. that's why I love kids. Well meaning people stifle their growth artistically. Vince

"Hello Blessed & Beautiful Laurie Ginn!"~It was good to hear from you dear lady! And yes, to color outside of the lines, is a marking of your own uniqueness'~And from I have seen of your preciousness thus far~"You" are a very bright and lovely flower to behold! So, do not be a stranger dear lady, for, it would be quite a loss I believe~Now, that I have seen "Your Heavenly Glow!"~"Love Always To You & All You Love, Always, John!"~Bye Dear Lady!:)

Hi Laurie, we have a huge bag of crayons and I'm willing to share. Red is a pretty important color to be missing. If you need help in that, count on me. It sounds like too much fun to be left out. Karen
