I know I’ve been M.I.A. lately but things have just been so busy. I just realized that haven’t updated my blog in almost a week…how crazy is that? I was preparing for my first workshops and was a little bit stressed out but both turned out pretty good (I think). Anyway, I got an email from another [...]

Yesterday I went to my first Stampin’ Up! demonstrator meeting. There seems to be lots of firsts on this blog so far. Anyway, it was great…I’d never been around so many women that love paper crafting like me. It was very strange but oh sooooo cool. I saw so many really beautiful cards that I just [...]
