If you have children who would like to learn more about art, or you're an artist who wants to take classes, I highly recommend Peggy's classes!

Sarah Fishburn - I met Sarah randomly during an ATC swap. I was blown away that a goddess from 'True Colors' would want to trade cards with me. *LOL* We've been cyber buds for awhile now and she's opened new doors for me to meet and swap with other talented artists. Her work is amazing.
