ReplyDeletethank you robin!
DeleteLove your washi tape! I'm making some myself but I like yours better! :) I also didn't know just exactly what a smash book was but now I do, thanks! Yours is turning out really well and that is just brilliant to re-use and re-cycle an older book, still in good shape but info no longer needed/wanted. Also completely agree about that napkin from your sons b-day party...I mean wow and its just a napkin?!
ReplyDeleteTake care dear, you are *all* better this week, right? Hope so! :)
