Good morning Donna, Jo Ann, Monnie and Mary Beth! How are you ladies today?Well, you have left me with a big smile. Thank you so much. It was fun to make creation. Wouldn't it be great if we got to dress like this? Flower head dressings? Of course we'd be chased by BEES all day. Humm...on second thought!
Sure appreciate the visit and really kind remarks!

Thank you Wm. Very sweet of you. :)Well...MANY men, mind you, do that FISHING THING. Baiting gross hooks, using outhouses, totally roughing it. STINKY STUFF. (HA!) Gotta be a BIT stressful.
For me...I have peace, quite, an electrical outlet in the trailer (WOW! WHAT A CONCEPT!) and my imagination!
I have little to no choice. CREATE! :) #8787989
