Linda Wolff said… Thank you Margaret, I appreciate the compliment! As I am typing and watching your photos go by me, I think I must be in the presents of a master! My little figures are nothing in comparison to yours. Plus, your flowers are outstanding! What I'd really like to do, is just sit and watch you with your sugar veil and see what all you are doing with it. Maybe you will have to post a video some time!

Wow! Your the one with all the talent. You have accomplished way more than I have in my whole life. But thanks again for commenting on my work. I like hearing comments more from people i don't know more than the people I do know. You here the truth and helpful criticism.
