thanks X three

for fall asters that grow wild here
with artistic flair and a promise

to be back year upon year

for a new blog friend at Just a Moment

who gifted me special vintage paper to create with
for a giveaway at my art space RedorGrayArt as I open my humble Etsy shop

two things I know

First,
I love preschool music
this is a holiday stamp
used after each class
on their little hands


Second,
I love time off
from preschool music
two weeks beginning today!


my older sister is the needlework artist in the family,
