it is hard to believe that it is 2013-we survived the end of the world that was forcast for last year. Good-we need more time on this planet! We need to take more time to fix the wrongs and learn how not to do those things anymore, Uppermost on my list is how we treat our pets and other animal friends-we do need to do better there.I am fortunate-in my pet portrait business I deal only with people who love there pets-that is our common bond and I strive to do my very best for these people.I have been doing more canvas works these past months and I really enjoy that medium more and more. I am also doing more multiple pet portraits-so many of us share our hearts and homes with more that one.I am enjoying my time raising little Rubi-she is still a handful but a work in progress-more on her down the road. I want to wish all of you a very happy new year and I hope you will join me in hoping for better things for the animals and birds we share this planet with,bye for now,Carla
