I am so excited that my daughter has moved to Webster Groves near Red Lead. It will be so easy for me to visit with you when I am here from Northern Virginia (Washington, DC). It has been a highlight of my visits to St. Louis for more than 5 years. If you are in Northern Virginia, please visit my favorite stamping, paper arts, book arts shop: Angela's A Happy Stamper in Reston, Virginia.

The Red Lead site has been such an inspiration for me! I keep clicking on it to see what's new and to get ideas for my artwork. I have been sort of house-bound since I broke my ankle (and a rib or two) on Groundhog Day. I cannot thank you enough for this site! The pin is just so interesting. It makes it feel sunny in here. ;)
