| from my "letters from grandpa" series of encaustic pieces. part of a sweet letter from my grandpa, "I suppose excitement is running high at your house. Christmas with two bright energetic children. What fun. Lots of work for mom and dad- that makes family life interesting and adds deep meaning to living." |
 |
from my home to yours, MERRY CHRISTMAS! LOVE, ERIN |
