everyone starts somewhere
I’ve been asked on a few occasions to share pictures of the ornaments I painted when I first started my business three years ago. I always felt a little embarrassed to show them, so I haven’t. They’re not really my style, but I decided to keep the ones I didn’t sell. I knew they were […]
