Good morning stampers!
Things were quieter this weekend. I think I was possessed by someone–definitely not me. I had one of the most constructive days I have had in a very long time. I switched out my winter clothes, cleaned and straightened my bedroom, cooked, washed two weeks worth of clothes and posted a bunch of stuff to ebay! Wow!!!
Did you know…how easy and festive washi tape can be!?! Take a look at this darling card we made at Hostess Club.
