I must say, you have a way more interesting things to say about yourself than I did. I want to see pictures of everything you have made.
Wow, Julie. You're one amazing chick! I think we have a few things in common... no formal art training but continually making stuff... think we can build anything. Actually, you probably can. I usually get stuck and need my husband to bail me out of a project.
