Patricia, that was a great chat! I didn't have time to re-do a page for Sunday, but I'm still going to play anyway.
Thanks for a good time!

Thank you so much! I have not a clue as to how to use patterened papers although I own an envialble stash! This is an excellent jumping off point for that exploration! Love your comment about the closet full of solids. Recently told my mother I'd bought a new dress; her only comment was, "what shade of black is it?".
