Is there anything better than getting a package in the mail? I do more and more of my shopping online these days, and it’s always so much fun to come home to see a brown box on the doorstep. That was the inspiration for this card. I used two stamp sets from Pink Persimmon’s latest release: Parcel Post and Special …
Happy Fall with Pink Persimmon
Today marks the official transition from pumpkins and ghosts and costumes to…pumpkins and turkey and pie.
