Dear Laura,
I came by because I want to express you my deepest appreciation (is that correct in english?:-)) Your Apothecary tutorials are simply masterful!!! Thanks for the great inspiration. WOW! Yesterday I looked at all the videos. I'm thrilled, and I must certainly look at them again and again. The Apothecary cabinet, the Hexes accordion fold books, the altered poison bottles and tins ..... Oh, my goodness! I have to be written this on my to-do list. You are so talented! Great compliment my dear. You've really impressed me so much!
I wish you a nice weekend.
Hugs and smile
