A fun thing that we'll be sharing are 7 fun facts about ourselves.
Here goes for me, they are in no certain order and not everything is crafty oriented:
2. My go-to kraft paper is from a company named Speckletone.
3. Lately I can't get enough of stitching on my cards...they almost seem unfinished without it...
4. My brown ink of choice: Memento Rich Cocoa.
5. This will not come as a shock to anyone, one of my favorite companies is Cosmo Cricket. Did you gals read Lindsay's post from Friday? Hee-larious!!
6. I'm Canadian. I grew up with both of my older brothers saying that I was adopted since they are Americans...brothers {rolling my eyes}
7. My adhesive of choice....3M Double Stick Tape. Seriously, I use the desk top dispenser and big rolls...I don't fuss with those plastic dispensers.
Okay, there you have it...7 fun facts about me..
Grrr....plastic wrap packaging makes photography very tricky...obviously the packaging won...this time.
Let's see, there is:
1. Rhonna Farrer Paris in Spring Chipboard Ribbon Charms Tags
2. KI Memories Juicy Summer Hip Chip
3. K&Co Urban Rhapsody Grand Adhesions
4. Heidi Swapp Dark Pink Florals
5. Love Elsie Gel Stickers
6. American Crafts Flair
Some of you ladies asked for a pic of my Gift Show table...It was a terrific venue...in a model home..every square inch had a vendor {except the bathrooms!}. There was a great variety and I'm trying to get into some future shows.
Okay....now it is time to hop to:

Love the 'teenage boy' card! The papers work great together!

Thanks for sharing.
Love the boy card. As the mom of a 14yo boy, I bet the boy who got it did appreciate it (he probably just didn't think it was cool to say so at the time). And how awesome to pair that with an iTunes card?
Kathy C.

You made me laugh with your 7 personal facts...
thanks for the laugh, and for the chance to win...
