Comments

My husband took me to Kauai for our 47th wedding anniversary. I love working on a new project while on vacation because every time you look at it, you are taken back to the time and place where you worked on it. When I look upon these beautiful butterflies, I remember sitting on the balcony overlooking the ocean and watching the palm trees blow in the winds. These are my treasured memories of a treasured time in my life.
