Did you know? In 1910 the U.S. Supreme Court settled a long dispute between the states of Maryland and West Virginia over the states’ true borders. The court’s decision was based on a stone set in a river from 1746 and a new survey team was directed to place granite slabs every half-mile to mark the new boundaries.

Lou Celebrating Monkey

The challenge is to create a door hanger using a Whiff of Joy stamp. I thought it would be fun to use Lou hanging around since it would later be hanging on someone’s door.

Here’s the door hanger full of chocolate goodies ready to be left on a door. It’s hard to see in picture, but there is a diagonal cut out from the circle on the left side that allows it to be slipped over the door knob.
