She showed me the piece of fabric you created, hated and gave to her. I love it! Love the colors, scale and movement in the design. Sometimes things don't turn out the way we planned, but others can't see what we envisioned in our heads. They look at it with unbiased fresh eyes and see the beauty and potential. You created a perfect canvas for Gwen to have a bit of fun with.In the end, you too will love it!KarenTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-49165654023798857732012-10-02T17:08:50.856-07:002012-10-02T17:08:50.856-07:00Thanks for that incredibly generous offer, Wendy!!...Thanks for that incredibly generous offer, Wendy!!shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-8512650312142510472012-10-02T14:27:48.432-07:002012-10-02T14:27:48.432-07:00Shams, glad you had a wonderful time in NM.
