My Fear, My Hope

 I can hardly believe that I am getting to the end of the 2012 Limited Edition Sketchbook project for Art House Co-op.  This week I completed pages 14 and 15.  I have the back and final page to complete as well as the cover.  Then, I will be able to fondly package this project up and mail it to NY.
