welcome back!

 Well, don't mind if I do (welcome myself back).  I've been away from here since our last big holiday and I am happy to return today.  I am in the midst of tweaking my blog template so thank you for your patience as I try on some new looks.  I re-launched my etsy shop this morning and am really excited about it.  These new portraits are near and dear to my heart.  They capture such distinct expression and personality.  With every piece that is completed, I feel I have yet another friend.  Watch closely this week as one new portrait is added everyday.  Thank you for visiting!  I sit with quiet anticipation of the week ahead (and what it beholds)...
