Hello, hello beautiful Lj!!!!!!!

Aww, Dave!!!! Thank you so much!!!! This is one of those occasions where the image was actually in my head before I created it … usually what I do is just sort of generic … one idea falling into place after another one. So glad you enjoyed it!!!

Hi Elisa, honey!!!!!! Yes, wasn’t he just precious??? When my son was a little fellow we took my mom to visit one of her dearest old friends. She was restoring an old carousel horse and I’ll never forget how it fascinated my son who was about 4 or so at the time. It fascinated me, too, of course. I’ve always loved them!!!!
