Tammy (Sandra Hammer's new stamp April)




Michelle (this is Sandra Hammer's newest Hannah stamp..coming soon!!)

We are going to try Mr. Linky this week. This is my first time with him so if he does not work, just post a link in the comments.

Oh and I wanted to mention.... still no winner on the snippets of new stamps, so keep the guesses coming. If there are no right answers by this weekend, I will just draw two random winners.


Thanks so much for playing, Michelle
