A note of thanks:

Betsy,

Thank you so much for yet another marvelous plus-plus learning experience today at Designing Women. It is incredibly helpful to have the small group discussion/critique of the designs and actually move things around to see how changing a small or large component affects the overall design. It is experiential learning at its best! Just what women have been doing for so many years....

Again, thank you so much for providing such good leadership in our floral design development! Fondly,

Trish
