After my husband comment yesterday, I had to laugh out loud at this post by Kawaii Crafter. Midnight tonight is the deadline for the Caardvarks Purple Snurple Micro Challenge. There’s a gift certificate from Itty Bitty Scrap Shack up for grabs, so get out your best purples and let us see what you can do. … Read more
Tonight I learned … never try to make a card while you are watching Dancing with the Stars with your husband. He thought he would channel Len Goodman and provide his own critique of my work.
