Four HUNDRED posts! How exciting! I made my first post yesterday so four hundred sounds like climbing Mt. Everest. I have no idea who you are teaming up with, but my favorite collection. It's gotta be the buttons. Those delightful little buttons. No matter the shape, no matter the size, no matter the age, a button always has two eyes and a smile. Oh I love the buttons!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
