Hi Jessi Girl,
You did a beautiful blog post! I kept thinking... gosh I'm glad I was part of it because I'd be so sad if I weren't! I just love all the pictures, all the swaps... wow that Carole is talented... I missed the bottle swap. I think I was inside working on my mermaid doll! Love your bottle from Denise and what you made too - just wonderful! Thanks for the very sweet shout out about my class. I'm glad you had fun and your pillow turned out so cute!
Hugs,
Holly
