Its not easy to come back but by God's Grace I came home refreshed. I will post more pictures later on. I also did a breakout sessions there which is card making ( what else). We all have great time and the pictures are coming up as well. Please forgive me and be patient with me while I am putting myself toghere. Don't forget next Friday night Nov. 5th , 6:30pm still on.
