Ohhhhh that is WONDERFUL news, Sandy & I'm not surprised AT ALL!!! Your work is as ADORABLE as it gets!!! BTW…I went back to re-order the cards that never went through (Silly, PayPal), & for some reason…I couldn't add more than one card at a time to my cart, so…I got impatient & will be back AGAIN to try! =) Just didn't want you to think I'd forgotten. But…in the meantime…I MUST order this book & support my fellow blogging beauty! =) Us girls must stick together! =) Love & Hugs to you, Sweetheart & a HUGE Congrats to you! MUAH! XO
