I sent this all the way to USA and to a lovely lady called Belinda, from Samplings From A Blue Ribbon Girl.....she is a very talented designer and I love her work... I sent is as I wanted to say Thank You.. see she is trying to raise money for breast cancer by taking part in a huge charity event. Walking 60 miles over 3 days .... Go Belinda!!
