You blog is fantastic. I feel like I found a gold mine of information, so I had to become a follower! (perfect example is how you listed the challenges for Michelle's cards) Thanks for posting my blog candy on your blog.

Hi Mary Lou, I've truly enjoyed visiting with your wonderful daughter Kim online. She's sent me in the right direction to purchase my newest tool the amazing Airbrush system for the Copics. I love seeing what it does & by chance I saw her blog & KNEW I HAD to have one too. From her blog I found yours & your cards are just as wonderful as your daughters. Must run in the family. I signed up to be a follower on both your blogs so I can see what amazing cards you come up with next.
Hugs, Janie
