To the people I know and the people I have never met who love my art enough to take some home - often again and again.  It's a thrilling and humbling experience that never gets old.  I am over the moon every time!

To all my readers for your comments in particular.  Thank you.  Your words make my every move so much more passionate. 

Finally, thank you to my dear sweet family for their undying support to let mama do what makes her happy!  I love you for letting me follow my heart.  X O

It sounds like the Academy Award of years for you; I think you swept multiple categories! I will be giggling about that little caper from the spring into my old age(and you didn't think I had it in me to do!! :) Happy 2013 to you and your family, Monika; I wish you a year full of even more wonder and accomplishments than the last.
