Chris,

I am so sorry I have not been able to come out and leave my compliments very much lately but I hopey you know it is not because I have not wanted to it is just the 3 kiddo's schedules are keeping me insanely busy these days and I am still keeping up with your gorgeous creations through my google reader, but I know that does not mean as much as a comment would I just want to stress that I adore you work and your spirit and your creations so much!!!

Chris you have a knack for paper and the way you choose your colors and arrange all the elements that I have never seen another crafter have the amazingness that you possess!!! I love every thing you have ever shared with us and I adore you as a person and a friend and my only regret is that I have had so little time lately to keep up with you in words my sweet kind treasured friend!!!

Heather

Carolyn said...

Hugs and Blessings to you and your family,
Carolyn
