Lisa Oceandreamer Swifka said...

Now there's a fortune teller I'd put money on...she's wise, she's generous, she's warm and lovely....and unlike some fortune tellers she's fun and whimsical.
So much to see at this pink carnival....the dancing elephants made me smile..it all made me giddy with delight!!
YOU posses magic within you!
XOXOXO
