Thank you for looking, always nice to be back. So much has changed in the paper arts. Paper stores have closed or stopped making papers that have that vintage feel and cost over a dollar per paper sheet, vintage books are hard to find at a cost that will keep my prices down, even supplies like page tabs are scarce or cheep in quality, very odd. But over the last 18 years - yikes! - I've been able to watch the huge boom in scrapbooking and help create the transformation into interactive pages, albums and  journals, now I am using the massive  paper stash that has been accumulating around here and will continue to create whatever comes to mind when I sit down. LOL.
