  11. Oh Becca! You just made my whole day. I came home from work with a headache today and I finally had enough in my bank account to splurge on the new Greeting Farm stamps. Shortly after I was feeling bad for having spent the money, but now I see I made wise choice as this is just perfect for a Christmas card. OMWord, I love your coloring and the fact that you share your colors. I hope you don't mind if I CASE it in the future. Hugs, Lisa G
