Marlinmziegler, I wish I could read your comment. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!

Ratu lakshmita, Thanks so much for your comment. Can't wait to see what you are going to do!

Hey Michelle, you are to funny! I can't stand snow! Especially Jersey snow. It's dirty and nasty within seconds. I like snow in picutures hehe he he!! The paper is made by Strathmore and it's paper that is suitable for any media you want to use. I LOVE IT. I want to get a truck load of the suff. It's great for watercolor, drawing, collaging, card making, paper cut outs. It's nice and thick and heavy. You've got to try it!

Cathy, thanks so much for your kind words.

Wendy, thanks hon, are you going to SCBWI conference??? I don't know that I will me able to make it this year. I have a lot on my plate with family and work. Have a wonderful time and of course tell us all about it!
