Photo in Somerset Life, Winter 2011
“Yeee-Haaw!!” That’s what we say down here in Texas when we’re super excited. One of my photos is featured in the new Somerset Life! This photo is from my post on Red Velvet Strawberries and takes up the entirety of page 130! I’ve been so busy this week. I counted […]
