Recipe: Stamp Set:  Soft Summer, Itty Bitty Backgrounds Paper:  Pink Pirouette, Whisper White,… Read More »

Listen Honey

I own several of these Emerson Quillin stamps and I call them my ladies.  Whenever I'm feeling sassy, I bring them out.  This one reminds me of one of the first resolutions I broke this year!  I was going to try and exercise every day but it seems things just keep getting in the way.  I'm down to every other day which is probably more reasonable.   I don't have a… Read More »
