    Hi, Kathy, I enjoyed surfing your site. Your craft Room is beautiful. I think I finally convinced my husband that what I am asking him to do for me is not unreasonable (your pictures put me over the top, Thanks!!!) I found you on Outlawz.

    Great job. Unfortunately, you didn't use a High Hopes stamp, so this doesn't qualify for the High Hopes Challenge. There is still time if you would like to re-enter using a High Hopes stamp. We hope you will play along again!
