Jeni, my sister

I always wanted to be like Jeni. If she wore long socks, I wanted to wear long socks. If she got her haircut, I wanted my hair cut too.

Jeni was a mouse for Halloween in 1968, so I had to be the mouse in 1969. Just like Jeni.

 Even now, 40 years later, I still want to be like her. You should all come to her show and see how amazing she is. You will want to be like her too.

Lucky is the person who gets to spend the morning with Stephanie from STEPHMODO!!

YES...that is right I had the funnest time meeting Stephanie. I've been following her blog for a long time and am struck

by the elegance and delight that each post contains. 

I want to live in FRANCE and stay in their amazing

"La Maisonnette", a cottage on a hill in the France!!  

OK ANYWAY!!  I asked her if I could advertise the Autumn Art Show on her blog, Stephmodo, and she said yes and offered to help me take some pictures of the gourds to post. 

WOW I was honored to meet her.  She is as kind and elegant as her blog. She has a 3 week old little one and I got to hold him while Stephanie took pictures - That Was Awesome!!  Thank you Stephanie for your help and your inspiration.  I am so glad to be your friend.

Here are some of the pictures she took...

 This little witch on JACK belongs to my dear friend AMB.

My goal is to learn PHOTO SHOP and ILLUSTRATOR - we will see - I need to duplicate myself to do all that I need to do.  I think many of us feel this way!! - So anyway -
