Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and Memory Box is one of my favorite stamp and die manufacturers. So you can imagine how excited I was when MLO got their whole Halloween line a couple weeks ago. It’s really too bad people don’t send Halloween cards the way they send Christmas cards, because I would be buying all of …
Hi from South Dakota! We left the house at 3:30 am yesterday (I had finished packing at 1:30) and landed in Sioux Falls at a little after noon. Then it was just a 2 hour drive to Springfield.
