I'll be following because I love your work! LOVE LOVE LOVE the tree! You have no idea how much. Take a look at some of my "crossscuts" I get lost in them! You don't need a "good luck" right now, as I know you will succeed in anything you are "Over the Moon" with. Can't wait to see how this all develops and evolves! Love ya!
