Two Takes on CPS 254

Enjoy the Ride/Joy Ride

I'm still here! I realize I have been rather quiet both on the blogging front and the letter-writing front.

I'm currently obsessed with creating cards for spring and masculine birthdays, combining my collection of new and vintage supplies into pleasing designs, and updating my collection of card sketches (done).

My love-hate relationship with my old computer printer came to an end this week when it finally kicked the bucket. My sweet husband now had his answer for what to give me for my birthday! Thank you!

  4. Marguerite! I received your lovely envelope today. Each thing inside excited me more than the next. I'm going to reply immediately but even more urgently I need to tell you that I LOVE John Cusack and have a poster of him from Say Anything in my bedroom. <3
