Linking up to these parties.
Here I have to thank Geraldine Ang (no relation) who sent everything you see on my collage as a RAK. How incredibly thoughtful of her to pull together a kit that almost self-assembles into a project. Especially as she's juggling a full schedule of scrapbooking classes, volunteer work and planning for her wedding !
