Thanks again for your patience. I hope you had fun making the cards or that you can join us next time. Also, sorry about the extra line breaks. That's what I'm having trouble with, but I spent tooooooo much time trying to get rid of them (which is why there are only 2 posted rather than all 5). I'll get the last 3 cards from October's class up soon - just in time for November's class :)

NEW GOODIES!

I was going to up-load the pictures from October's Gift Card Class, but I just got a box of goodies from Stampin' Up! So I'm going to go play instead. I will try to get them up later tonight or tomorrow :)
