Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. Finally. Of course that doesn't mean that it's magically 75 degrees outside with the sun shining. I think we still have at least one more week of 60' weather here. And for those of you still getting snow, I'm sorry. Just know that I'm thinking of you.

Today's card uses … [Read more...] about I’m Thinking of You, Spring

So, what are Stampin Blends? The Blends are alcohol markers that you use to … [Read more...] about Our Blends are SO Popular
