I’ll even write myself reminders (who can remember everything?!) to make sure appreciation is being spread often. This said, I would like to say “Thank You” to the entire team at Cleaner & Launderer magazine for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this wonderful publication. Enjoy the upcoming holiday everyone and happy creativeness with your holiday appreciations.
