Honestly… How did we get to Father’s Day so quick?? I almost forgot. I’ve been at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Summit for the last couple of days, very early starts (3.30am) because it’s been in US time zone. After 7 hours of classes, we’d have a little hang out on zoom. So while chatting with… Read More
