Mine has arrived and I sent mine last week
A lovely hand made card! Not sure who sent it. I love handmade things, so it is perfect. It will go on my card display in Jan.
I have no plans at the moment, so any day other than the 10th would be fine. How about Monday?
Je suis en visite à Paris du 8 au 14 décembre. Ce serait bien de rencontrer quelque parisiens qui est libre
