It already seems like a great success!
Thanks, Rachel! Happy Holidays!
I wish the silk scales would have showed up a little better, but your fish sure is a cutie! :)
Wowza! Hooray on your 800th post! I'm loving the design.
Sandie-you'll see...when the tote dries, the scales 'magically' appear again! :)
Andrea-Thanks!!
