There’s NO substitute for certain things!
My lovely Stampin’ Up! mummy hit her £400,000 career to date sales, and I made her a card to congratulate her on this milestone! So often she encourages her team and champions them, but who is there to champion her, because she is at the top of the tree, as it were! I am so […]
