OH yea! I think I found and have most of my marbles back in the jar!!
Now, back to the amazing YOU! You rock, my dear! You oh so made those colors work oh so very well with a wine country theme (and I should know, huh?! :>)!! I adore the little scene in your first card, oh so very You and you *know* I love that flat petite red bow on the second one!! Marvelous! :>
