I'll have lots more vacation pictures to follow, but the first ones I edited were from our final day in Arizona that I spent with my Gran. She and I had a fun morning checking out several of the local stamping and scrapbooking stores. Our first stop was Scrap Happy Sisters in Glendale. It was … Read more
