I also love whimsical type of art, and I enjoyed looking at the video of your collages.I sculpt fairies. I now have a home, where I feel like I can sculpt, and not have to leave my finished products behind. I do need to get a magnifying glass, with a light. In the meantime, I'm sculpting 2 trees, from paper mache, they are going to go in my foyer/sunroom. I want to put fairy lights on them, of course. It was so nice that you enjoyed so much family time, in april. How nice for you! We'll be going to the States, this November, to see my son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. I'm so excited! We talk on the phone, but it will be so nice to see them all, in person.

One of the down sides of living a couple of hours away is that we don't get to see them weekly, but having a visit that lasts for a few days always makes up for the time we missed in between.
