Dear Emma, I have had the bounty of following you for several years and I feel badly for taking so long to realize I should express how deeply grateful I am to you. You not only share generously of your artistic gifts, knowledge, and time, but also your beautiful heart and wonderful family. We are all so much better in so many ways for the treasure of you. Thank you so, so much! Sending prayers and wishes for happiness always. 💕

Thanks so much, Emma. You are wonderful to share your tips. Any ideas on capturing shimmer? I only have my iphone and a task light. Of course, I can go outside. My house doesn't get much sunlight until the evening. Thanks. Only if you have time to reply.
