Nice backdrop on that top photo of you performing! I need to get one just like it!
Smart aleck! LOL I still haven't found the time to get mine made, on my "to do this summer" list. I have a wonderful artist who is willing and very able. I just need to get to the store and find the right cloth. Thanks for the loan. :)
I wandered over here through your pubyac@lists.lis.illinois.edu e-mail. Love the idea of Frog Month. I'm putting it in my list for my April 2011 blog ideas. 8-)
