  451. When I do a hop, I like to read at least the 1st page of each person’s blog. You may be pleased to know that I read more than just the 1st page of yours’!

  467. Wish I was more brave when it comes to using misting products. I think it’s because I can’t control where every drop falls that I panic… and when I read that back I realize that my perfectionist like behavior is going to limit my creativity 🙁 … Ok Ok. I will mist, I WILL 🙂 Thanks for the card ideas… so talented.

  470. Wow, two awesome cards!! I love the beautiful heart you created on your first card. 🙂 And the sentiment on you second card is so sweet. Thanks for sharing.
