Spent a perfectly lovely Saturday at a “shoebox swap” with a half dozen fun and very talented ladies.  A shoebox swap is basically a card swap – each of us designed a greeting card and brought all of the supplies needed for each of the other ladies to make that card.  We spent the entire [...]

A few hours before I was to leave for my Kansas City / Sonia Choquette trip, Hubby raced in with this little jewel for me…
