CONGRATS to you for your 23rd Anniversary. I live on the East Coast and I can use all the encouragement and video ideas you have. Most recently I purchased the cool treats stamp set along with the framlets and then went searching for the DSP for that set. I am soon to be a grandmother of ten grandchildren. This set will make wonderful and fun birthday cards for them. I have already found your video and cards for that set. Sure hope I win your give away. I look forward to learning more from you.
