Patchwork

by donna smith ammons
 
I am going to have to set up camp at Walgreen’s some day soon. I have several disks from my camera that are in need of clearing off…by that I mean I have to go print copies of the shots I want.

Not so easy, because I am always making changes and editing each print….not once, but several times.
