You've captured it perfectly--even her spirit! Please enter (and, of course draw) my name in the giveaway. Congratulations on 500 posts--unbelievable! Keep at it!!
Hi Fifi~
I always love visiting you...to see what new painting you have done. I can't believe you have so many completed projects!!! (I struggle to finish just one!)
Your French paintings are so much fun! My DIL would love all of your paintings. Since she and my son returned from France last spring, she has been decorating their home with anything "French". I know she would love to have one of your notecards...and she will probably receive a painting for her birthday, next spring.
