I cannot thank you enough for your kind words and encouragement as I've made my fledgling steps in this wonderfully creative world. You believed in me when I wasn't sure I believed in myself (I completely feel honored that you spotlighted my little car on your last SSS&S DT Challenge -- A big heartfelt thank you for that!). Best wishes with all that you do and I'll keep checking in here for more inspiration (like this incredible display board -- so going to borrow this idea for my own craft room!!). -- Mary ElizabethMary Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164993867448430380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1848908867135912792.post-8457492469614170422013-07-18T07:50:47.750-05:002013-07-18T07:50:47.750-05:00Fabulous project Anita!

I'm so glad that we've become acquainted through blogging, so that hopefully I'll be able to continue to see your inspiring work. I think this sectional window message board is a great idea. I have one that I love with chicken wire that a friend helped me make, and holds a lot of my small pieces. Blessings!Arnoldo L.
