Today Becca, Renee, Debi and Mom came to help! I provided munchies – cantaloupe and proccuitto, lettuce wraps, pico de gallo, sake martinis and they provided the manual labor! Renee helped me finish a majority of the programs (3 cuts, 3 corner rounds, a whole punch, and ribbon tying I’m sure she’d like me to note that…haha) after dinner at her house.
