Isn't this a darling Valentine gift? I got them from my very creative friend, and Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Diane Tritz. Diane lives in Wisconsin and we became friends when we were SECRET SISTERS on cruise one year (she was a fabulous secret sis!!!). She is a lovely lady and I was so glad to see her the first night of Leadership in Nashville last month. She was standing in line waiting to get on the bus to the WILD HORSE SALOON. When I saw her she gave me a big hug and my pretty gloves, above! Thank you, Diane!
Do you have a VALENTINE STORY? If so, leave me a comment with your story and I will pick my favorite on Monday. The winner will recieve a $20 STAMPIN' UP! GIFT CERTIFICATE! Yea! I'll announce the winner on Tuesday morning. Susan Elise
