have i ever mentioned how much i love nichol's work? well, i do. and when i saw THIS album cover she made over a year ago … i really wanted to make one of my own. but i didn't … because honestly, it seemed like a lot of work. but then last friday, she posted…

i have this basket on one of the shelves in my studio … that is sort of a catch-all basket. inside you'll find cards the girls have made me, projects they bring home from school, award certificates from church and soccer, disneyland souveniers, random photos, programs from concerts and choir performances, locks of hair that i've…
