I read all your emails. They are so informative and full of new idea. Many thanks
I keep a lot of your ideas as I know I won’t remember all of your ideas and suggestions. I wish to try all of them.
You are very talented and creative. Many thanks for all your hard work.

I am so very thankful for your emails!!! Now I am Looking for a solution. I have all the stamps sets that I purchsed and we have a card ministry so it takes so much time looking through the sets to find one we want and that does not leave time to make cards. lol I have them in same size boxes alphabetically. Can you suggest an easier way. I thought by event but so many are multi function. Grrr HELP! lol
You might consider typing up a list and breaking down the sentiments into Thinking of You, Birthday, Thank You, etc. Add the name of the stamp set and add a little note next to each one with things like small, medium, or large, whimsical or elegant, etc. That way you can cut back on the time you are searching. I hope this helps!
Thank you Connie for your generosity!!
Love your cards!!
