On Life, Love, and Papercrafting
This time last year, we faced the coming of the new year with nothing but dread. We knew Mike was going into custody in a few days. Life as we knew it would be over for the forseeable future. There was nothing to look forward to about 2011. But 2011 has passed now. It felt [...]

Welcome to my version of the Scrapbook Update staff blog hop! This month we are taking holiday scrapbook supplies “off the page”.

Well, it’s time to start work on tag #7 and I’m just getting around to posting tag #6 (although it has been done for awhile now – CHA got in the way of actually posting it). Like most of my tags, this tag is simple but has a few emotional themes set into the design. [...]
