Kay G. -- I am happy you like the same things I do! It's such a treat to take a peek into a this famous artist's private life.

It's true, we do love the same things! You have such good taste. LOL.
I agree with Kay's first comment.
I'm late with everything this Christmas but trying not to let it get to me. Instead just trying to enjoy what I am getting done. I have 170 Christmas cards to get out, hopefully they'll be sent my New years, that's how I'm rolling this year.
