    You look like you did a great and memorable job of it Val!

  • Thanks, Bruce! Still working on the 250 images, Bruce. So much work and backbreaking, using just a laptop, but hoping they’re happy with the final product. Have another week to finish. :-))

    Great shot, Val – my niece married someone from India and she had her hands hennaed like htis

  • It’s such a beautiful art form. All the female guests get their hands done with henna. They did it for me, too. Love it! :-)
