    Re: My growth journey.

    And my favorite piece I've made lately. 5 mushrooms, 2 bubbling chambers, 2 ladybugs, a snail, a frog, a butterfly, and a caterpillar. Truth be told, I'm surprised it survived being made.

    Dang it, I'm sorry about the sideways pics. In my defense, I did rotate them in the camera, not sure why they're coming out sideways here.
