Teenagers make for one busy life LOL, but so worth the time you pour into them! Will miss your gorgeous creations, but hope you post the odd one here for us to enjoy. I have not stamped for three months as so much going on, Verve closing down, and a decision to get back into shape. Hopefully fall weather will make me want to stay indoors and do a bit of stamping ;) Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00084480597063268569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6298184598323253782.post-43176996874990001442018-08-17T11:30:06.640-04:002018-08-17T11:30:06.640-04:00Nance, this is gorgeous.
