About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. www.drawell.co....

“The French Whisperer” UA-cam channel is nice to listen and relax to. Very soothing.
As a 64-year-old woman I am absolutely joyful when you talk about watching the Rockford files and all those other great shows in the 60s and 70s. My mom used to do the ironing to “Mannix“❣️
LOL!!! I’m going to rewatch Rockford - I missed so much of the good stuff because I was ironing at the time!
I look forward to every one of your videos and paintings. Why? Because of your unique talent, funny personality and all the background noises of the farm animals, birds, cats, dogs, weather, and inane bantering. You are very entertaining and even though you don’t teach, I learn from you! Thanks for being so genuine.
I learn and get inspiration for her. She’s a joy 🤩
Thanks so much Lory, for your lovely kind comments. Much appreciated !
I’m glad you can’t see mine. It was a epic fail…..
@@cindykirby7673 lol. Cindy, you and I should have tried ours together because I feel the same way.
Agree to everything you wrote. My favs are arleebean mind of watercolour but Diane is my top top top fav. Talented, inspirational humorous with farmyard noises and general rambling which are always useful information!
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life - Picasso
I love that! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Your”ramblings” are lovely and delightful! Please don’t stop.
I listen to YOU every night. I love listening to what you talk about, your voice , and beautiful accent. I’ve learned so much before I go to sleep, and wake up excited about painting! You’re so down to earth, and have a delightful sense of humor!
Wow, thank you for your kind words! So glad you enjoy listening to the videos and are learning and enjoying painting too!
I totally agree!
I love how you take the "worry" out of art!
You’re thoughts about transparency in watercolours versus Kuratake opaque paints are so apt; I had the misfortune (?) to spend several residential watercolour holidays having transparent paint dinned into me. The tutor actually removed any opaque colours from the attendees. It honestly caused me so many doubts about carrying on. Listening to you is a complete breath of fresh air. Thank you so much!
That almost sounds like the residential course I went on! The one where the tutor was so awful I complained to the management and demanded a refund! That man should have been locked in a darkened room, not allowed to torture innocent women!
Beginner painter here, so glad I found your videos! You are a delight to watch and listen to, thank you!
Warm welcome to the channel! So glad you found us and are enjoying them! Happy painting!
Same here. Now that I am retired would love to start learning to paint with you.
“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" Pablo Picasso Thank you for leading me to that quote this morning.
You are so welcome!
This maybe my favorite tutorials of yours. I have watched it more than once.
First, thank you for the tutorial, it was fun. And I enjoy your chatting and your humor.
I live in Maine (east coast of USA) and thought I’d let you know that since the pandemic we have seen a very different product supply situation than we are used to. There were times when large grocery stores had no toilet paper, until a fellow starting up a new paper mill decided to manufacture toilet paper to help us out. It often felt like what I imagine life to be like in Russia - waiting in lines to buy toilet paper was just so weird. The pandemic has given us quite a reveal of greed and hoarding, theft of ppp stimulus money, and the fragility of our supply line. For a very long time most of us had no US source for face masks, so we made our own. Businesses such as appliance retailers, and car dealerships are beginning to get more product. I’ve been waiting almost three years to buy a new stove/oven unit. A friend had to wait about six months for a car. For about three years the greater area car dealership lots have been virtually empty. It is getting better, but it seems like we’ll never get back to “normal”. Now that product is becoming more available the prices make it unaffordable for many of us 98 percenters. I can’t speak for other parts of the US but I doubt it was very different. Amazon was slated to layoff about 10,000 workers recently, so its delivery might still be a bit compromised. And all those employees have to find new jobs.
Also, thanks for mentioning the Japanese brushes. I’m going to look into them, possibly buy a few. I don’t mind waiting, in fact, having to wait can make the purchase more exciting.
Wow, that’s very interesting. Strange things have been happening here these last three years too, complicated also by Brexit, which has made our links between France and England much weaker. Prices have gone up a lot and Amazon.fr has some extraordinary prices - thousands of euros for things that ought to cost a few euros - makes me think there is cocaine in the package! Glad you are interested in the Drawell brushes. They are really good!
You're asking for someone to listen to. Well, for me, that's you!. I love to hear your commentary on life and the world as it is. I'm in America, but I feel like we could be great friends. Lol. Thanks again for another fun and relaxing tutorial. Cheers!
Thanks so much, and yes, I‘m sure we would be great friends! Sometimes I wish I weren‘t here, but there instead! Oh well! Thanks again and happy painting!
This is my second time doing this painting. it is very relaxing and of course I love listening to you about your life and your part of the world. thank you so much for all you do!
I love to watch your videos and think I might be able to try something similar to your whimsical trees. Your comments about your doctor and his hand holding were hilarious! Also, I was excited to hear you speak of watching Pam at The Paper Outpost, as I admire both of you so much!!
I have found so much peace and a sense of presence in your videos.
My mother, who was a fantastic artist, died suddenly just over a month ago.
We had big plans to start an artistic collaboration, and she had finally got the physical framework for it in place.
So it was joyful to hear that you and your daughter work together.
I have now slowly started to go through some of her materials, and the loss my best friend, mother and mentor is unbelievably hard.
I feel the enormous burden, but also the need to accommodate and pass on her knowledge and experiences.
She has also always been my spiritual beacon and I now feel the emptiness of the lack of her open mind and insight.
I'm new to your channel, but I'll definitely spend a lot more time in your company.
Just thanks
I’m so sorry for your loss. I worry for those we leave behind more than anything else. I hope you find peace and comfort in your creative journey and send you my love, Diane xxx
Love you talking about French doctors/your day and life. You're funny/entertaining and I love your talent.
Diane, you really have the kind of voice a podcast would die for! I love your stories!!
Your conversations have helped to lower my blood pressure which has been giving me fits lately. Thanks for that. Also I have become a great artist in my mind! I fall asleep to yout tutorials and I wake up to them.I will never go to France but I love hearing about France. Please don’t change.
Really?? I’m so glad about that. I have been having trouble with my own blood pressure. Perhaps I need to listen to myself more often !!!!! Don’t worry, I couldn’t change if I wanted to! Happy painting!
At the ripe old age of 46, I’ve just decided to try watercolour and am so glad I discovered you. Love watching you paint while listening to your charming stories. Thank you!
That’s fantastic Susan, welcome to the wonderful world of watercolor! We’re all here for you!
I love your chatter! I was feeling so lonely and hearing you chatter made me feel better for some reason :)
Down to sleep audiobooks works for me. I love the wind in the willows 😊
Moonlight Cottage ASMR is the best to fall asleep to!
Ah that’s an interesting channel! Thanks for the suggestions x
So impressive how you are moving the camera. I love seeing the metalic gold!
I like what you have to say. I love the ups and downs.
This one was fun! Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, Diane. I love that they are learning tools as well. I am getting better control of my brush!
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for commenting!
I listen to preaching when I go to bed….Sinclair Ferguson has the most beautiful Scottish accent has he most beautiful and calming voice! I love him! Also, I love listening to the psalms…..love and smiles…..
Wow, thank you!
I always enjoy listening to your commentaries! It makes learning to paint with you an absolute joy. Thank you:-)
Absolutely priceless commentary, you do my heart the world of good. Unique and inspiring x
Wow, thank you!
Pam on the Paper Outpost is one of my favorite UA-camrs!
Same!!
Love your chatter. I too despise the cold. It makes me miserable. I’m 70 this past June and the older I get the more my body rebels against the low temperatures. I’ve always disliked cold but more now for certain. BUT, I love your videos. They make me smile and feel better any cold day.
We’ve had the wettest and most depressing winter here in France that I can ever remember. Looking forward to the summer as never before!
I can't wait to give these adorable trees a try! ❤
It is not only that your videos are full of handy tips and hints, inspiration, and good art advice, but also such a pleasure to watch and listen to your calm and silky voice. You make things in a very relaxing manner, so it makes you feel you can easily do it yourself. Thank you for sharing your talent, skills, and time with us!
Wow, thank you Kali, that’s very sweet of you to say! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos and are finding you are learning something from them. I wish you much fun and pleasure from your art xxx
Please never stop talking about life in between the art! I love getting to know you through the snippets of conversation as you paint! Your are good therapy in both ways!
Thanks so much Patricia, really appreciate your kind words!
Thank you. You've given me a feeling of freedom to paint as I wish. I think I needed that.
At night, I usually tune into a UA-cam of someone I like and is soft.spoken. I usually fall asleep before it is done. If I like the part I saw, I usually watch the whole video the next day.
The garden of trees are lovely. Such a variety of leaf/branch structure. All art builds on past art, doodle, zentangle, mark making, neurographic, so many names for variations of the same themes. Love how you mix them in your own unique way. Definitely working on trees today. The peaceful colors go well with the lacey branches and muted circles and lines of the deconstructed scene. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind comments!!
“We could call this a de-constructed sky.” Lol Yes, let’s do! I love how whimsical these trees are and am now doing them for a journal cover page. Have a lovely weekend, Diane. 69 is a great age but just wait until you are a septuagenarian like me! I’m living my best life in spite of the trials that come to visit. Love from coastal North Carolina.
Wonderful! So glad you’ve picked up that idea for your journal. Oh yes, can’t wait to hit the next big O!!!!
My son gave me that paint set for Christmas. I am so excited. I am just getting started with painting.
That is awesome! I’m sure you’ll love the paints, ideal for learning I think xx
I sometimes listen to a podcast called "Nothing Much Happens". They are basically adult bedtime stories. I think you might enjoy them. :)
Thank you Diane. I love listening to you. Your voice reminds me of my daughters mother in law. We are Canadian, but my daughter married a Manx.
Spring is starting to happen here, thank goodness. Happy Easter!
Hi Elizabeth and thanks for the tip. I’ll check it out! Glad you enjoy the videos! Happy Easter!
The Frugal Crafter (Lindsay Weirich) does a weekly Sat Chat on her channel on Saturdays. She talks about her week, shows some of her projects and chats about her family. It’s nice. I like to listen to her while I am puttering around the house doing chores.
I live listening to Lindsey's chats. 😊 Her tutorials are also great.
I do listen to her quite often, when I’m feeling strong!
This is fabulous Dianne, thanks for the wonderful inspiration and the best rambling ever!
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!
I learn so much from your tutorials but I also enjoy your chit chat. Please don't ever stop! It's so pleasant and I love your sense of humor!
Thank you so much! I’ll do my best to keep finding inconsequential to yak about!
I cannot get enough of you. Thanks so much! My painting has improved tremendously. Love your tutorials but also your sense of humor.
You are so welcome!
I have many channels that I put on and fall asleep to. I set the timer on my TV and depending on the UA-camrs voice I asleep in 5-15 minutes 😴. The key is choose one that you have already watched.
That’s a very good point! You are completely right, otherwise I try to listen too hard!
This is quite nice. I am inspired to it create one of my own. I was born and lived up North most of my life. When I retired, I moved to Florida. Every day I wake up to beautiful weather. It has been a number of years and don't miss the bitter cold weather at all. As it turned out, my move was in early fall, so my body had time to acclimate to the warmer weather by to time the summer came around. Although it does take 2 to 3 years to fully acclimate to the climate. The only thing I do miss is watching the leaves turn in the fall. Every fall I paint leaves.
Hi Wilma! Florida is a great place to retire to. How sensible to choose! I have had a few holidays there and enjoyed it very much. Thanks so much for your kind words xxx
So talented. Love the videos and the talking. ❤
First time I have come to your channel. I love this work. I have just started to do watercolor. I too am a Brit living in france. I am south of the loire so a bit warmer down here ! Have lived here for 20 years. I live with my mother and my daughter of 13 years. I am very happy to have found your channel. I like that it is not purist and not too strict and intimidating ! I would love to paint trees and flowers and birds I see everyday xx
Welcome to our channel, so glad you found us! Lucky you to be further south, although I expect you had very hot weather last summer - we certainly did, couldn’t believe how dry it was for so many weeks! In Brittany!!!! Glad you are enjoying the videos, I do try to be as easy going as possible so it’s good to hear your feedback. Happy painting and welcome again!
@@DianeAntoneStudio thank you for your kind reply. I am now happily subscribed and binge watching lol
Greetings from Canada.
You are an absolute delightful person! I love listening to you. I'm a beginner to watercolor painting and you make it fun and Zen! It's so relaxing. Something we need more of in this day and age..
Thank you so much! ❤
I had to pause the video to comment 😂😂. I am 12 minutes in and have laughed so much already! Don’t change Diane!! And the biggest laugh so far is the poppy missing a stem and your voice as you recounted it 😂😂😂
Thanks Sharon, I’m glad you enjoyed my reminisces! That chap who said that might have had a very detrimental effect on me had I been an overly sensitive soul, but he did make me laugh!! So grateful for all your comments!
Definitely a “must try.” Lovely.
I am officially hooked on your videos; feverishly going through them! Very much enjoy listening to you and appreciate your simple, doable, beautiful art!
Welcome aboard! So glad you are addicted!
Diane-you are amazing. I absolutely love watching your videos. Learning so much!! Thank you and keep painting!!
Yes, I love your rambling Diane, it's very soothing, and you come out with little gems sometimes. Perhaps you could do a little ramble channel. I love listening to you, love your whimsical paintings too. 😊 I like Paul Clark too, (he lives in my town), and unexpected gypsy, lots of talent out there. I love you tube, plenty of inspiration. Thank you Diane 🙂🦋
Now I’m curious - is that Lewes?
This is a very cool idea! Deconstruction in production! I always wanted things to look exactly like I saw them. Struggle with imaginative concepts, as to feeling they are "good." This is so clever and fun. Hearing you is like hearing a very dear friend!. I am glad your hand will be fine.
Yes just like a very dear friend!
Thanks so much Janice, I’m so glad you enjoyed that! I know what you mean, it’s a trap we all fall into. Thanks for your caring about my hand, it’s already looking a lot more normal!
Hi Diane, I have recently found your site and am really enjoying trying to recreate some of the paintings and doodles you share with us all. As I sit and listen to you I feel like I am sitting with a friend having a chat. I enjoyed learning about the brush pen, which I am having fun creating with. Yesterday, I followed you to paint the picture of unusual trees, relatively simple but so affective. I am not a natural artist and need to follow others ideas and your tutorials inspire me. Thank you. Keep up the your good work of inspiring me 👍and I look forward to following another tutorial very soon x
Hi Carol and thanks so much for your lovely comments. I’m so glad you are finding the tutorials helpful. Believe me, we all need to look at other people’s work in order to create our own, so don’t feel you aren’t a natural artist! I’m not either, I just have been working at it for longer perhaps! Have fun, that’s the main thing, and please don’t hesitate to sell or give away anything you create from a tutorial of mine. Copyright free!!
Like your rambling! 69 isn't that old...a friend & I were chatting about our "what now??!" in the aging process. We think we are going to croak over every oddity. Lol!!
Yes, isn’t that true! We’ve got at least another three decades to fight our way through!
Truly enjoy my Kuretake paint.😊👍
Starting 100 days of painting with these whimsical trees. I love your channel. Mx
You do not talk too much! I have learned so much from you just talking and mentioning a tid bit here and there. Keep up all the talking!!! I am new to this and watching your channel has made me want to do more.
I’m so glad I found you.
Hi Kimmo and welcome to the channel! I’m so glad you found us too!
Diane, I love this! It's so unique and each tree adorned so creatively. I love them all, and love that you added in the birds. This painting can work for so many things just by changing up the themes. You've inspired me to create one for all the seasons. They would look so pretty sitting on the fireplace mantel or framed on the wall. I love hearing your stories, many are so relatable, like the husband snore :) As far as a recommendation on a calming UA-cam channel to relax and unwind with, you're the star and best story teller I know. Maybe just pop on one of your channels and drift off to a relaxing sleep. I promise, you'll be even more inspired :)
Hi Carolyn and thanks for your as always lovely comments! Great idea to use the design for all the seasons. Just changing the colors and increasing the leaves and adding floral elements would make a big difference, and maybe I’ll take that on and revisit it in Spring, Summer and Winter! I absolutely never listen to my own videos, and I’m often surprised when people tell me what I’ve said, as the whole thing is done completely off the cuff (as you can no doubt tell!) and almost like in a hypnotic state! You’re probably right, it would almost certainly put me to sleep to listen to myself!
Sitting here in America, remembering how we used wait eagerly “6-8 weeks” for orders to arrive! Now, a two week wait from Japan sounds insane! The weather is 1 degree and feels like -14. Isn’t that funny that we now measure “feels like”????
Oh Gosh Diane.I listen to you! I love your voice and chatter and you are so interesting! And you're funny and very wise. ;-)
As a listening suggestion, I find Atomic Shrimp very comfortable and pleasant to listen to here on UA-cam, he does quite a variety of different things and often does nature walks or gardening and talks about the scenery and plants and creatures and is pleasantly knowledgeable and friendly and mild mannered and is very calming on the blood pressure
I find you just as comfortable and calming and interesting and real to listen to as well, you could paint and talk about anything you pleased and I'll be quite happy
Thanks so much for that comment, your kind words and the recommendation of Mr Shrimp! I’ve checked out his channel and subscribed. Nice to listen to indeed! Thanks again!
just found you on Utube yesterday. What a delight you are, your accent is so lovely, all tips & techniques are answered prayers for me! I'm kinda a late bloomer but think you are my new tutor for sure. Need so many
Tools you're mentioning/ quite fun!
A million thx for your
Spirit, talents, personality !!!❤ love the trees😊🎉
I often listen to Gavin Webber making cheese or you when trying to sleep. I do use your tutorials to paint and love your no rules non judgemental style. I make cheese as well and Gavin has a great sleepy voice.
Tx Diane, a lovely idea and tutorial.....love your honest ramblings too! My husband's name is Forrest....and he always says...like Gump! So many have seen and love the movie!
Someone else, besides you that I enjoy listening too.....she is an artist but in her videos she doesn't teach art so much...but mainly calmly rambles....shares her heart like you......I find her very refreshing.
Her UA-cam channel is....The Unexpected Gypsy.
Thanks again for your sharing and thanks to Tamsin too for all she does.
Hi Julienne, thanks so much for your lovely comments! I do love the name Forrest! If I ever have another dog I plan to call him Forrest! I have seen the Unexpected Gypsy and thanks for reminding me of her, I’ll go check her out again!
Love your videos, your tutorials are so easy to follow and I enjoy at times just watching and listening to your voice, it’s very calming and enjoyable!! I rarely even watch tv anymore as folks like you are so much more real, and you share positivity, and I can also join you if I want! Bless you for sharing!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate your support and your comments!
Absolutely love this thank you. Love your chat too. Hope this relaxed you!
Yes, painting always does although sometimes I’m more than halfway through the painting before I remember I’m not carrying out a life-saving operation!
HAHA! You are the only one who I can listen to and look up to see where you're at in the project occasionally. You're one of a kind. ;-)
Thanks so much Vicki! So glad you enjoy the videos and all their rambles!
I love your paintings and I love listening to you chat about your life 💗
Thanks so much!
I love when you ramble. Please never change. I’m so glad that you are okay I can imagine how scary that was. Thank goodness for good doctors. Please tell your husband happy birthday from all the way over here in my tiny part of the world
Thank you so much Amanda I will tell him!
Yes this one worked a treat..think I’ll make it into a note card. Love doodling. makes a huge difference. Great way to spend time after work.thank you😊
Yes, since I started doing this doodle-embellishment thingy I have rescued many paintings from oblivion!
Have so enjoyed this video - still sitting bed lol ! Done watercolour on & off for years & really enjoy it , mostly do 'whimsy ' as my daughter calls it ! I struggle to do a looser style but watching your videos is a great help - I'll keep practicing with your help so thank you 😊 so much! I love your commentary too !
Thanks so much Ruth and I’m glad you got an extra hour in bed with me!! LOL!
Looking so beautiful Diane!
I listen to Abide at night to fall asleep peacefully.
Thank you for a calming video and i am amazed by your creativity!
I love listening to you!!
I have been under the weather with a migraine these last few days and your voice is so soothing….better than music which is what I tend to listen to. I have learned so much from you! You have inspired me…I have even thought of moving to France 😍
The rooster crowing to be heard by everyone, and the pitter patter of your dogs feet as he scurries across the studio floor. You have my dream studio!!
Don’t ever let anyone tell you you are doing it wrong because they will be wrong!!
Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m sure france would be very happy to welcome you over here! Thank you for your support, and I hope the migraine has gone by now!❤️
Love your conversational style and enjoy hearing about your life and thoughts while watching your art explorations. One thing I really enjoying noticing is how much you practice. Each picture you do, you seem to have a stack of other images you also did. It just that gentle reminder that encourages us to play and explore.
Your commentary is hilarious, so entertaining. Love it....
Thank you 😁❤️
i love these colors.
I enjoy listening to ceeceecreations
I love your ramblings Diane. Watching your videos is like having a neighbor come over for tea.
I think the paper makes all the difference. It will determine how much water you can use. If you use less water say for guoche, you can a paper with more pulp. Cotton paper holds much more water for watercolors. It doesn't dry as fast.
I have out of desperation, washed out a 'bad' painting. I figured its 100% cotton, I should be able to rinse it out very carefully. It worked.
I have also been looking into making my own cotton paper.
I am only 8 minutes into the video and I had to stop and comment. I feel I have so much in common , I am 68, hubs has birthday Tuesday, get surprised every time I look at my hands, love dogs and cats, would adopt everything if able, love the country and love watching your videos! I only wish I had your talent and creative eye. Thank you for being you and sharing y our talent!
Hi Sally and thanks so much for your lovely comments! We do indeed have a lot in common! Where do you live and have you any pets?
@@DianeAntoneStudio Thank you for responding Diane. I live in the middle of the USA in Missouri. Right now we have two dogs, when we lived in rural Colorado we had four cats and three dogs. We always adopt rescue animals. If my husband didn’t have allergies and other health issues we would have a house full!
I love how each tree is different and unique!!
I like those paints.
Lovely Diane you have inspired me
Absolute perfection is not necessary which I beat myself up about
Thanksx
I soo enjoyed your comments and narrative today-- was so interesting and educational- hearing what was happening in your life. It fascinates me to learn vicariously about others' life experiences. Today your narrative was quite a bonus of getting to know you too. A rich life of experiences, and your perspective was so relaxed and casual. Enjoyed 'getting to know' one of my favorite role model artists!
Today's tree exercise was another helpful instruction in creative spontaneity. Very helpful for the new and not-very confident water color artist. I've learned so much from your very easy going approach to painting, and your wealth of practical knowledge and experience.
Thanks for sharing your talents, and your wonderful insightful philosophy.
And your dry and sly sense of humor is often a highlight. " A brush without a point is pointless". Haha! 😉
Thanks so much Chris, I just re listened to that one myself and had no idea I’d been rambling so much! I go into a kind of trance when I’m painting sometimes! Thanks again xxx
Thankyou for your inspirational videos. For once I can see where I went wrong and am looking forward to rediscovering my love of art. As for your chatter about your every day life..I love it!❤
You know, I Agree! I’m getting old too and was just talking (dreaming actually) about moving to Hawaii!! The air there is so soft and warm! Oh let’s go!! It’s supposed to be a HIGH of 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 Celsius) here in Colorado tomorrow! We’re not even in the mountains! Yikes! The winters here used to be comparatively mild but now… crazy for us older people!! My heating bill is in shock! Oh well, we’ll just paint and play the day away!💕
Hi Donna! Yes, we’ve had one of the coldest winters I can remember here. Luckily, we do have the advantage of being remote from all the troubles of Europe at the moment - but Hawaii sounds like a very good idea! I’m surprised it’s not completely full up by now!
I love this demonstration! Drawing trees is one of my favorite things and this helped to expand my ideas so thank you 💕
Very relaxing and pretty painting. Please don't stop rambling. I love hearing your thoughts as you go.
Thank you so much 😀
I love you ‘inane ramblings’. Don’t ever stop 😊
Thank you 😊 I love your videos ❤
You are so welcome!
You are delightful!
Love your art, love your fun conversation!
I adore your dry British humor 🫠
Thank you! I don’t know what to say!!!!!!!
I'm amazed at how intrequit this little painting became. It's just lovely.
Thanks!
I so love listening to you and love your whimsical art! You voice is so incredibly soothing.
Thanks so much ❤️
This was so much fun
I love your hands! They show a life lived and they’re beautiful! They’re working hands that have lots of experience. Be proud of your hands and enjoy that doctor while you can😁
Thank you so much! I will do my best to follow your perfect advice!!!!!!
I love your “inane ramblings” and actually learn more than you might imagine!
I think this is very interesting and I am enjoying what you say so thankyou.
You are so welcome Dorothy!
