"Don't worry, be happy" is my favorite one, but they are all very striking. I am in awe of you and all the members of the Gina K Designs team. You all are so inspiring to me. I don't seem to come up with very many original ideas myself, but looking at all of your creations sure helps me out. I'm constantly taking pictures of what I see -- my phone's probably going to say "full!!" one of these days. I need to find a way to off-load to my PC and organize in folders in some way.
