Dear Lin Lane Yes a great entry for the contest, short and very sweet dearest lady, enjoyed it very much, lol the pic took wonderful movie, cheri yes I sketch and draw, I don't paint although I've always wanted to learn, my grandmother was a painter though, for me I choose to write instead so I paint with words my brush is my pen, my canvas the open blank screen or page, so we have these crafts in common, yes, cheri

It seems we do, cheri. There was a period of about 6 months when I couldn't write. I pulled out my paints. Then I started making jewelry. I enjoy all of them, but my favorite is writing. I always enjoy your visits.. Thanks, Cheri.
