Aloha, all! Yes, I am finally back from my 3-week long trip to the U.S. east coast. With tax season in high gear as I returned, I am just now getting back into my stamping routine (well, as much of a routine as it can be for me). First of all, a lot has happened… [Read More]
Paper Pumkin Is Having a Great Year!
Aloha, all! As recently as last summer, I was really kind of disappointed in some of the monthly kits that the Paper Pumpkin part of Stampin’ Up! has been sending out. Oh, there were a few that, when I got them, I ordered refills as soon as I could to share with some of my… [Read More]
