Day 20 - You are Awesome!

Day 20

Find a creative way to give someone a compliment.



I sent this to my good friend LJ via email, to which she replied:

I was intrigued by both ideas - the spa and the necropolis, but decided I might have a better chance at depicting the spa. I asked AS what the Bee Spa looked like: "...[it] is a selection of lovely cut flowers with pollen offerings plus potted plants in a protected area where the bumbles will not be disturbed a...
