I love new paper, any kind of paper, even spiral bound lined notebooks. New paper holds such promise. There are so many wonderful things that can be created with it. I love shopping for any kind of art material, but there is something about paper...Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494806312648513169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-23402721901968466612007-04-12T08:57:00.000-02:302007-04-12T08:57:00.000-02:30I like this post, its sort of like learning how to...I like this post, its sort of like learning how to eat on your good china every day!Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16556270261087981200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20414780.post-59353228521862453952007-04-11T21:23:00.000-02:302007-04-11T21:23:00.000-02:30You read my mind Vicky.
