Hello. Hope you had a good weekend. My dear Shari was in town to teach with me over the weekend at Simply Scrapbooks. I love Shari, I love that store, I love the people there. Thank you to all who came to the classes. It was a full-house and so much fun! (And for those [...]
Recently, my dear friend Heidi – the owner of Simon Says Stamp – had a baby girl. And to celebrate, a few of my friends are joining me for an “online baby shower” in her honor! Here is the card and gift I sent to Heidi and her new baby girl, Abigail Ann… For this [...]
