Who did the little whale painting in the bottom right corner of the shadow box? I really enjoy the artist's style of illustration.The Thriftaholic (Leilani)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02105619277913578745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-85375022628747928902011-05-05T20:20:41.318-04:002011-05-05T20:20:41.318-04:00TYRaines: Magpie!
