Traci - I took your Strathmore online class, befriended you on FB, put my own blog on the Strathmore class, your sharing and fun fun way to creat has opened up a new world for me. I suffer from extreme anxiety due to a thyroid disease and art calms me. I look at your two books all the time. I always find something new I hadn't read, and I read cover to cover. One of my favorite parts in the book was your dedication to "Freedom" - your beloved doggy....oh it took my breath away, that we saw her on your video's and then by the time you wrote your book, she had gone to the Rainbow Bridge. How absolutely touching to dedicate it to her. My dogs are my world, and I dedicate my life to them. I would love to open up that box of heaven on earth art supplies. Blessings.
