Blog Award

Hi everyone!
A few weeks ago my friend Meda passed a blog award to me. I didn't relize it at the time and have apoligized to Meda and thanked her for thinking of me. So it's time to send it on to some of my favorite blogs so they can pass it along to their favorite blogs.
hugs, Valerie

Hi everyone,
We've had torrential rains this past week and my knees have played havoc, so haven't made any cards myself.
