Comment: Thank you so much for the awesome envelope of goodies! I love the variety of items - the transparent stickers were beautiful and I've been searching for small flower stencils so that rose one was just perfect! Also, you envelope collage was amazing! I was so glad you put it in a protective sleeve because it happened to arrive on a wet, rainy day. Thank you so much for this happy mail! :)

Welcome to the Paper Secrets Society! I am hoping this works I'm trying something new...

OMG, I lost it at the purse. That was so cool, thank you! And all of the extras were awesome and so thoughtful as well. I'm into Teddy Roosevelt as a theme but def need to brainstorm on that one. I want to make you something worthy of the title!

kiwivandal on Apr 14, 2025:

So glad to see you in my new swap! I'll be posting a few more soon :)
