CHRISTMAS BUZZ-post 8

Today I challenge you to make a card(some time)during the weekend. Then by Monday mail it, or deliver it to someone! This doesn't have to be a Christmas card, maybe a Dec. birthday, thinking of you, or just because. Let's make someone's day!!!

E-mail me once your card is made and delivered, and your name will go into a draw for a goodie bag of embellishments!!!

Another Class update:
There is one spot open for each of the Stamp-a-Stack sessions on Sunday...........1-4 or 7-9:30! Let me know if you would like to join us!!
