Good to hear from you Kristin! Glad you're doing well and that you have a new book coming out in the Spring. Congratulations! You're post has motivated me to build my blog/website as the host of my previous blog page disappeared and my blogs with them! Will check out your page,
Cristy
Hi Cristy,Hope all is well in your world. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth; just left the social network. (It's been a year and a half already.) It wasn't a a healthy fit for me. New book coming out next spring. In the meantime, I'm honing my painting skills. Who knows? Perhaps I can become an illustrator. To catch up on my activity or to get in touch, please visit me at my website: www.kristinbutcher.com
