ReplyDeleteFuzz is such a cute name for a puppy and your card is darling. The second card is lovely, too. I don't know if anyone else has this problem but your site is displayed on my computer with large side panels and I only receive the left hand side of your photos. Very frustrating and your blog is the only one I have that problem with. Any ideas on how to solve the problem?
