Happy crazy busy What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday that’s real close to Christmas! As you can see from my desk, today finds me listening to Christmas music on Pandora and filling out Christmas cards. Now, I know that many of you are card makers and…
Last week I picked up a set of kraft Christmas cards at Target, 16 for $1. I mean, you can’t even get 16 envelopes for $1. They were a bit plain, but I knew all they needed was some love. 🙂 Today I’m…
