I must admit, I have been know to be sluggish to respond to emails or comments and I am so sorry - it is not for lack of appreciation or care. Doing everything by myself while also caring from my children can be overwhelming. Not to mention there are so many ways to be contacted these days - messages through Instagram, Facebook, my website, Google search, regular email, voicemail...gah! Sometimes I get a message, read it, and think I will respond later when I have more time, only to find that I can’t remember where the message came from and can’t find it again! I try to avoid the time I spend in front of screens (though admittedly I often fail), and try to maximize my time creating and spending time with my family. If I don’t spend time enjoying the places, people, and creatures that bring me joy and inspiration, I don't have much of a creative well to draw from.  So thank you for your patience and understanding, it is truly appreciated.
