Scrappin'Sista said:
Your calendar is really nice. I love the color choices and the LO is wonderful. I wish that I had a bud that I could borrow the Calendar cart from. It seems to help a lot. Great job! TFS!

Scrappin' Sista, you have 1 week to contact me with your snail mail and I will send you out some yummy candy.
