I loved reading your little bio and can only say that if you asked my family and friends 'what' color is me - it's all about RED! It's the color of my heart, so from my Carriage House to you, let's remember, connect and celebrate life and using our hands to work and giving our hearts to God! Happy to be retired at 47 to create works of Heart! Vicki
