Hi RAINBOW,
i LOVE YOUR WEB CARDS, I can hardly manage signing in & you make up these great cards, then send them to everyone. Do you make paper cards with the stamps also?
Your talent for making beautful things is great, I hope to pick up my woodworking again.Now that my summer garden has been put to bed. Take care, laugh & have fun.

In my yard and garden album you will see a photo of what I did with an old sink and bathtub to provide a water feature for my yard. Still working on lush foliage to soften the lines but the porcelain is lovely with foliage and night lights and candles, and the fish thrive in the bathtub (as well as one snake).

Hi Rainbow. Thank you for all your kind and supportive comments about my animals. They are a lot of work, but John and I love them.

I loved the seagull video you left for Eugene. You should consider posting it in our video section where everyone can enjoy it.
