  45. I began following your blog (via Google Reader) with the OCC Birthday Challenge and fell in love with your work. You are a magnificent paper artist – your imagery, the lines, the simple elegance, the charm and humor…I could go on. Moving along though…because of your gift with paper, I do have a suggestion that I think would be totally groovy. I think if you had an image (like your banner) stamped and embellished with color, etc on paper that would make a fantabulous banner – which would totally say paper and landscape combined. Only a suggestion - I enjoy reading your blog “AS IS”. If you didn’t change a thing, your readership will still follow you, me included.

    I’m a novice at this paper craft game and have the potential to be some much better. It’s talent like yours that inspires me to keep going and better my own technique. For that…I THANK YOU!

This apparently was a blog Reader suggested for me based on what I already look for.And I just added you to Reader in the Stamping Folder. I will be back soon. This is a nice offering too-I am going to have to see more of the K and Co Fall line-Michaels I am betting. Have a happy.
