INTRODUCTION
First of all, since I'm recording this on Valentine's Day, here is what my husband gave me today. Tulips, heart cookie cutters, and my favorite candy, Jordan almonds!
Today's bumper music is the French love song Plaisir d'Amour written in 1780.
Don't forget about my Reward program -- send me a photo of your work inspired by my podcast/blog and I'll post it in the Gallery (link is along the right side of the blog).
