Hi Eila - I found out about you through Ed Barsotti and have been praying for you ever since. Your paintings are beautiful! I'd love to come over and spend some time with you if you're up for it. I have a 1 yr old so it would need to be when I could get a sitter. Please let me know if you're interested. God bless you and your husband. Love, Gina
