Time for a new cheering child to cheer us on through this new week! I know I need a little cheering on. How about you?

And here's a new silhouette I did recently! On Saturday, May 25th, I'll be at Willowbrook Museum in Newfield, Maine doing silhouettes for their opening day.  Admission is usually free on opening day! Maybe I'll see you there! http://www.willowbrookmuseum.org/
