  46. Kelli,
    How do you keep things like your little roses from being squished in the mail?
    Or are the cards only for handing out?

    I love the idea that you do the drawing once a week. Thank you.
    Could i do something like that on my blog??

    Blessings and thanks,
    Barbara Jean
