Once upon a time there was craftroom, full of binders of vintage greeting cards and file folders of calendar pages saved for years. Next to that are tablets of scrapbooking paper and gluesticks and all kinds of garnishes.
I went into that room about a month ago, I started cutting and gluing and then all of a sudden, there were stacks of vintage redesigned cards for Christmas. When there was an October Afternoon Warehouse Sale I found all kinds of new papers in adorable prints and embellishments to design with.
I played with paper and I took pictures that I wanted to show you! But my laptop went on the fritz and Mr. Wonderful tried and tried and tried. He put in a new part to connect to the network, he pointed in time (my words), he backed up the files on an external hard drive and then when he went to reload it all, IT DIED. Insert the playing of "Taps". This is not a good time for a computer to die (is it ever?).

Oh, here he is again; he brought the good news that 100 Followers happened and as promised, drawing for the goodies from October Afternoon will be going to:
