I loveeeeeeeeee how you made a magnificent symphony here! Gosh you're phenomenal! I love this so much!
Hi-K ~ Hearts 2/U ~ 'j'
Fantastic, as ever. Dare I say the rhythm is a perfect pulse. Well done, my friend.
No longer quickening but rather slowing down, even as I head downhill.
Your ability to vividly capture the true essence of an object is unmatched. I bet you can make the dentist office sound appealing. Well done, Kristen!
Gorgeous! I love what you did here. Aaaaaand, my mind being what it is, I now want to do one for afib, or vfib. Not really.
This is just wonderful!
Who knew a straight line at the end could be so poetic!
Flaily face again! You're hitting them out the park, Kristen pal! Love this and all the clever words you've used and that perfect end...just...stunning. Well flipping done!
