Sounds like it was an amazing class! And, agreed. Sarah Eden is just adorable!! (although, I didn't sit in on her class either...*sigh*) I look forward to your notes on her class as well. Thanks for the tips and links! :)Donea Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393184831994368021noreply@blogger.com
