Hallmark Writer Sarah Mueller and I at Blissdom

by Ms. Latina

As noted in a previous post, I was able to admire the new Hallmark Kids Collection at Blissdom at the Hallmark booth. Hallmark writer Sarah Mueller who helped develop their new line was on hand to show me several of the cards.

In the video below, we discussed the importance of encouraging children and how I have used cards to encourage mine over the years.
