Gift Exchange Meet up!
Karen {left} and Debbie {right} were paired up in the Handmade Gift Exchange and they lived close enough, they were able to meet up so Debbie could hand delivered her gift! Isn’t that so cool? I thought it was great! The draw is random, so its crazy they were paired up when they lived so close to each other!
***For those who have not received something from their Gifter, please wait until July 20 and if you still have not received a gift, please shoot me an email with your tracking number. thank you!!
happy crafting,
