Marcy, it's great to see you posting again:) Love what you've created for the hop! Your first card is so pretty! Love your design and the Tropical Background looks wonderful in those yummy colours! Love all the sparkle too! Your veggie tags are so cute and fun! Love your designs and all the great details! Here's wishing you a speedy recovery:)

You did amazingly with one hand. I certainly couldn't create such beautiful cards and tags with one hand let alone my non dominant hand. I love that stamp your own salad with its great punny sentiments.
