  10. Hi Zandra, what a fabulous swap this was! The book is so beautiful and every page is just like candy. I love the detail on yours and especially the pin with glass heart and beads; that is such an adorable touch. My coworkers were impressed with your page (as all of them)! Hoping you had a wonderful Valentines Day.
