I get distracted by all the stash I want to smash because it’s all so much fun to use! Not all the cards are a huge success,ContinueContinue reading “Halloween Is Done”

Halloween. Finally.

I am not the kind of crafter who starts their Halloween projects in August and September so that by October, they’ve moved on to Thanksgiving and the holidays. I am the kind of crafter who has to wait for the mood to strike and that mood usually strikes when everyone else has moved on. IContinueContinue reading “Halloween. Finally.”
