Trust me I tried this with her and mine didn’t look like this at all. I am sure her coworkers were thrilled to receive these gorgeous gifts.

I’m lucky to have one of these alcohol ink tiles in our dining room; a Janice (rhymes with Denise) original. I would say even more blessed to call her friend.

I can’t find that illusive opening paragraph that draws the reader in so perhaps I’ll just let the pictures do the talking.
