Blessings.

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

The church lady called last week.  Said it was time to get things done for teacher appreciation (religious education).  And she was thinking bookmarks.  160 of them.  Yikes.  My challenge was that I only had 4 days to get them done.  Yikes again.  So I enlisted the help of my husband, and we got ’em […]
