Hello! It's so good to be back and to have had time this week to surf the gallery! Many, many thanks to Cindy (KY Southern Belle) for starting last week's thread while I got baby time with my new nephew. Also, many thanks to those of you who expressed your sympathy over my dog's recent cancer diagnosis. Y'all are just wonderful.
For those who've never been to this thread, welcome! You're invited to jump right in and participate by posting links to your Clean and Simple Favorites from the past week's gallery uploads and by leaving comments on the cards other people link to. This thread is all about the beauty of clean and simple designs.
I'll go first. There was so much beauty in the gallery this week! Some of these cards I'm listing had NO comments before I commented, so if you have a bit of time today, please give these wonderful artists some love.
