Hi Debbie. I just left you a long message after seeing you on Windy City Live. I loved your ideas and thank you for sharing them, I am always up for things that are new and different and that offer a personal touch. The picture here, with the invite or menu card cut to size to garnish the charger plate is a great example of that. I just had an inquiry to letter something for an upcoming wedding, I will offer this suggestion if that is ok. Thank you! Sincerely, Peggy Martino
Thank you so much Peggy – I hope we can work together sometime soon.
