I found pattern paper by K&Company that was absolutely beautiful called Brenda Walton Designer Paper (8.5 x 8.5 pad). All the paper in this pad is vintage looking and did I say beautiful??? The stamp is by Impression Obsession and is called… Read More »
Recently my friend Jane went to California. Before she left, I told her to try two things while in California. One was In N Out Burger and the other was See's Candy. I was going to ask her to bring me back a burger from In N Out, but I didn't think it would last (LOL). She brought me back the cutest little box (see above) that was filled with… Read More »
