I know…Sale-a-bration is gone. But how many of us still await our final order from a week or so ago and just KNOW that there may be a parliament of Adorable Owls in that box? Yes. That’s right. Several owls are not a flock, or a bunch, or a group. They are a parliament. Whooo READ MORE

Dainty Flowers for a Treasured Friend
Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration is going on now – or at least as of the time this post was published. I seldom just love everything in the Sale-a-bration flyer – or even the new mini catalogs. But both of these are exceptions to my usual rule! Don’t get me wrong: I come to love a lot READ MORE
