Reviews

"Once again, Diane Hodges has given us little reminders of why we are doing what we do. I reproduce the humorous items on index cards, and when a staff member is having a bad day, I choose one that is appropriate and hand it to them. I’ve yet to have someone leave the office without a smile."
