Phew... finally... a moment to share 2 of 3 "re-created" designs for this years AES Penny Sale donation.
During my l-o-n-g hiatus from blogging this was one of many projects on my honey-DO list as long as my arm and ever growing. {wink} I mention re-create due impart to the lack of photographing prior to delivery. This years penny sale raised just around $4,000 for the AES scholarship fund.
