Thanks for posting these. I needed a winter pick-me-up.

I'm planning to stop by your opening at Absolutely Art on Friday, so I'll see you then!

Oh those flowers are so pretty. Wish it was spring all year long! I live in AZ and it is freezing here. We want spring. We want spring. We want spring.

we still have at least a foot of snow on the ground and i'm only 90 miles north of you! it's too early to be thinking of spring, this is Wisconsin, we have a good 2-3 months of winter yet, i can't even let myself go there yet, plus there is lots of cross country skiing to do yet which i love. your pics do make me want to take a trip to the rain forest.
what a wonderful interview. congratulations on being an assistant instructor!

Congrats Juliette – it carries a lot of weight that you went through the course yourself and as a result your business grew! Wishing you the best with being on the other side… 🙂
