Thank you so much for choosing my Hexagon Tower card! I'd be delighted to be a GD and will send an email today! Congratulations to the other winners!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I just responded to your email and I'm very surprised (pleasantly) that you've already participated twice for May!!! Wow! Thanks for sharing your talents at HQFSCAT!
DeleteHi Becca, just wanted to let you know I have emailed you twice. Didn't want you to think I was ignoring your comments. Don't know why you are not receiving my mails.

Hopefully I've taken care of that. I'll go back and double-checked. I have a lot of blogging publishing each month on the 28, 1, 2, and 7. Sometimes there are 'days of the week' launches that fall in there, too. Then during the 6th-10th, my sister drove from out-of-state to spend some days sorting through our mom's stuff. It was only her 2nd trip since our mom died on August 31, 2024, so it was emotionally and physically tiring to create keep, donate or trash piles. Only made progress in 2 rooms though! Small dents in other rooms. My apologies for delayed responding.
DeleteThank you for choosing my card as a trailblazer
