  1. Your quote and “prince pending” message made me LOL!!! I appreciate your sense of humor!! What a fantastic page! The frog is so stinkin’ cute!! I imagine you’re in heaven with all the mushrooms in Farrell’s new collection!! Love what you did with the oxide spray in the background the effect it produced. So many layers in the background and yet it all comes together. I noticed how the ladybug and heart on the frog really drew my attention to the focal point and yet was aware of the pleasing and balanced way the other elements completed the look. Just amazing, Vicky! I’m off now to put drywall tape on my shopping list!! Hoping your throat/voice feels better soon. ❤️

  2. Thank you for this lovely whimsical art journal; “prince pending” made me laugh out loud. Wonderful!
