Gus just cracks me up! You know I do not have any of his images, and I have got to get some. You really did a great job with this, and I would never have thought to give him glittery balloons, but they are just perfect!

Peace & Luv,
Jeannie

Hey there Kathie, hope you are doing well, I am so sorry to just now be visiting but my internet has been down (say withdrawal!!). I love Gus and the navy and taupe remind me of a man's suit. Great job and loving the glittery balloons. I see Sharon has been by for a visit, she is the one that I got my blog design from and I also have some of her digital pages from her store at Etsy. She is very creative. Enjoy your weekend!
