The Witching Hour Is Coming Upon Us!

Wednesday, July 8, 2009

Kathy & I are currently very busy getting ready for the Galena, Illinois Art Show Oct. 10 & 11, 2009.  We've parked our broomsticks and are mixing up lots of new ideas and potions for the show.  We'll be sure to post some of our new paper mache witches and friends in the next few weeks.
