celebrate valentine’s day in st. louis at craft alliance. i’m tickled that they used my pink polyp ring as the valentine’s image for their email announcement. i’ll be sad to be away from chris on valentine’s day…but, the next best thing will be spending it with my mom in miami. she’s meeting me there to do the coconut grove art festival. YIPPPY!!!! i can’t believe it’s already here again. i’m packing my bags now. i’ll catch the bird tomorrow :O) swing by my booth and say hi…i’ll be in the same booth as last year #33.
