WELCOME BACK

Valentine's Day is over and President's Day is almost here. Thinking of President's Day reminds me how grateful I am to live in America. I sometimes forget (temporarily) that many people who come here to share and be blessed are from other countries other than this one. I'm so glad the internet covers the whole world and is not just confined to this one continent and this one country. I guess

Winner redrawn for #193

The original winner of challenge #193 has not come forward to claim the prize, so a new winner has been drawn who will win those 2 fab stamp sheets from Terry's generous sponsor ART JOURNEY

Shanna! it's you! (Shanna's Designs)  prize claimed
