They look so relaxed!

PS. Just gave Doug his collage, he loved it, it's standing on the counter with his birthday cards until we find a home on the wall for it:)

How funny Claudine, but the minute your comment came in I had just clicked on your blog! First I just want to say how happy I am for you and your success. You've really made a signature style for yourself and I applaud you! You remind me a bit of a younger Mary Engelbreit and the way she started out, but persevered. Now look at her...and she's very humble. Just like you:)
Congrats on the new line of cards. I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for them and scoop them up!

I love this! And it's one of my favorite things to do...call a good pal and go have coffee at a nice little cafe--so sweet.

You're supposed to have the coffee before you go shopping- you need that caffeine boost!
