Relaxing, rainy Wednesday

Hi Everyone,

Just dropping in to say hi to everyone. I hope is you are all having a great day. I am relieved to see some rain. Here in western PA we really need it. So it is a welcome sight.

I also want to praise the Lord for bringing me through my medical procedure yesterday. And also glad to say everything is great. The Lord is so good.

Last week I uploaded a new video called Paris Pink.. It is a mini (6 x 6) album with pink and black as its theme colors. Most of the tags and one of the pockets in the album are dress forms and corsets. I really love it. Below is the YouTube video and I would love for all of you to check it out and please leave a comment here on my blog and also on YouTube.

Well I better close for now. Again please check out my lastest video and let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

Have a super great day and God bless all of you.

Hugs,
Janet
