Thanks! Yeah, the shopping madness approaches too---but in spite of all the stress and hassles there's much to enjoy all around us. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

It's been ages, Maya. Welcome back. Even though Christmas seems a month away,your nice picture may serve as a reminder. Too bad the solemn cardinal is not clear. I guess it's because you had to reduce it.

Thanks Nikolai! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] Yes, I haven't been around as so much else has been occupying my time, and my husband's health also requiring doctor visits which is still ongoing. I haven't felt up to working on art projects much. Dropped in to say "hi" to you and everyone here! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
