Callie, Very nicely done. I love Tanzanite and yes, they do remind me of that lovely gem.:)

Beautifully done, Callie.

One suggestion: It may just be my old eyes, but I found the letter size hard to read...too small for me. Bigger would really help me next time.

Lance, I hate to say I'm with you but... I had to really concentrate to read the letters also. I'd take them up another point or two in font and then you should be good for all of us with less than perfect eye sight. ;)

Callie, exquisite writing! I just let my mind float and skip right through that entire piece and it never got caught up in trying to find the rhythm. Lovely words and a knock out image!

Thank you guys for looking and commenting, I appreciate. I concur with the old eyes. I will fix and upload. However, Paypal must first fix my account in order for me to pay my membership fee, then I would be able to upload from my PC.

HI Lance, Julie, I fixed it to suit the eye a bit better. Best regards
