Colleen Froats replied to Linda Koller's discussion Secret Santa 2019"I love this swap every year- one of my all time favorite activities. When I receive my secret questionnaire I tape it to the book shelf next to my sewing table so it doesn’t get lost but also so I can read it regularly .
Kathy, I’m…"
