    Nora, your talents are unending and your inspiration overflows - what a joy to see! I truly love how you used the hot glue to create this work of art. The tissue really was a great choice to cover the sculpture. I'm totally amazed by this piece! We are so thankful you shared with us at Mini Album Makers and make sure to check out our current giveaway on the blog. Big hugs, Autumn
