    WOW!!! What a lucky person you are to be able to check out all those goodies – I’d think I was in heaven or something as I do altered art and people think I use the weirdest things!!!
    LOVED the tour and look forward to seeing what you do with YOUR finds.

  3. Have you ever been inside HP? It’s so crazy in there, you would love it. Try to get smuggled in sometime if you haven’t.
