 I was blessed to find myself part of an online artists' group after meeting 

(in real life)

a lovely, lively, graceful and generous woman named Gloria Page, 

living in the same town as we were in Missouri.

She had written a book about making art your living,

and a group of artists pursuing that dream created the group

to encourage and support one another in their pursuits.

Debbie, the artist I mentioned yesterday, was a part of that group,

and she was so kind to me as a whole new world of art opened up before my eyes,

things I didn't know anyone was doing.

I was completely captivated.

Stephanie, the maker of this birthday card, was another of the artists in that group.
She really outdid herself with this card.
