We had the first Love Notes class yesterday.  AccuWeather said we'd get maybe a light dusting of snow, so, ignoring the ominous clouds in the West (or East, or South…they seemed to be everywhere), intrepid stampers from Virginia and West … Continue reading →

The weatherman kept saying the mid-Atlantic states were going to get hit with snow, but we were in the "light dusting up to 1 inch" area.  Well – the weatherman was wrong.  I think we're up to about 6" right … Continue reading →

This post has absolutely nothing to do with neighbors, but the stamp set used on the project is the Good Neighbors Sale-a-bration set. Mike gives gift cards to his real estate clients when they have a closing, so this is … Continue reading →
