A Great Day With Da Sistas!!
A few of the Scrap Sistas had the best time hanging out in Fredericksburg, VA scrap store hopping!! From Scrapdoodles, to J's, to ACM's, and finally M's. Eight hours went by like eight minutes. Ms_Dee, ShellyWorld (Michelle), IB2BZ2W8 (Sharon), & TP98 (Treva) had an exhausting, but fun day, laughing, learning, & getting to know one another. Can't wait until the next get together….hopefully with more Cricut Sistas….
