Feeling good. Just found out one of my art pieces got in a national magazine. Crazy Hill Nursery in Belfair WA had me reconfigure a piece I created for one of their clients and it ended up in an amazing garden

Starting all over again on social media. Facebook deleted my business and my personal account after 17 years with no warning and no reason. I lost all history and contacts. I heard Blue Sky is a good platform. Thought I would give it a shot.
