    Those checkbook covers are just lovely! I love anything that brightens up the inside of my purse from being the “black hole” it oft is :)

    nice montage you’ve created here, with the thin slivers of images. Is graphic design a prerequisite for a good blog? Love it!

    Hello. It seems like you had a truly successful event. I’m planning an event to promote last minute sale of Christmas cards and small gifts. I’m partnering with a caterer and I want to do something that’s both fun and profitable. Any ideas?
