Peaceful Cabin Is Retiring Soon
I'm not sure where the weekend went, but I'm pretty sure it decided to clock out early. We're still awaiting the arrival of a big rain and wind storm.

Angels Of Peace Simply Designed
There's something about the Angels of Peace Stamp Set that keeps me going back for more. The two angels are simple line drawings that work well coloured or just left as they are.

So far I've found that creating projects using the Angels of Peace Stamp Set has been a quick process. This was a an important consideration during my recent World Card Making Day "24 cards in 24 hours" challenge. ... VIEW POST
Happy Chocolate Cupcake Day
How is it Monday again? It feels like there's altogether too many Mondays in a week. Still today is a better Monday than most as it's also Chocolate Cupcake Day. Yep apparently that's a thing, and who am I to argue? Now all I need to do is find a chocolate cupcake. I'm not much of a baker, unlike my daughter and especially my son-in-law, but I can stamp.
