  1. Do you pick favorites out of each group? I'm so tempted to buy some Posca pens!

    1. Posca pens... YES! You must have some!
      Favorites... well, you might be surprised that the little booklets have been a recent favorite. I know they don't show up like much online, but it's so good to have some made up then put appropriate quotes in when a friend has a loss, needs encouragement, or gets good news. They fit in an envelope and take the place of a card.
      Another favorite thing is how my ability to draw has risen from about a D+ to an A- in the last 3 years. Hmmm... maybe practice does help with a new skill, ya think?
