Your cards are always gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKelli, on Show and Tell there's a lady named Gracie who always makes a comment on my S&T, but I can never get my comments to her to work! Is there someway you can contact her to tell her this? I see she only had about 5 comments. I think she is from Italy. I would like her to know there's something blocking people replying to her.
Thanks,
Katherine
Thanks for all of the lovely pictures you always post! I enjoy coming home each day and checking your blog to see your "Show and Tell" or "Papercraft" of the week. Thanks for giving me something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteJess
