My friend Candice has decided to start her own blog. We use to do this one together but life got hectic for her so she gave it to me. Things have settled down for her and she has decided she would like to post her cards again. We had several long conversations about posting and ideas.

Not sure why, maybe it is because it is a color you see a lot in the Spring. Stamps:…
Happy April Fool’s Day to you! Hopefully our weather will begin to act more like the beautiful Springs we can have here in Southern Maryland.
