    She makes it look so easy! I'm still having a problem getting my stamping right! But I have really enjoyed her challenges. It gives me an excuse to do something that totally relaxes me and gets my head right! She's right: even if it's just a few minutes. I would love to see how she did the moon. She said it was easy. Hmm...maybe I'll go pull my grays and give it a go! Thanks for a chance to win.
