I’m loving the sets in the New Occasions mini and can’t wait to see more posts for inspiration. I love rubber boots and my mom is an avid gardner – so Scene in a Garden was one of my first purchases.
Mary,
I love your blog! I check it daily and am so inspired by your wonderful color choices and the projects you dislpay! Thanks for all of your hard work! I love the matchbox die and the new stamp set that goes with it! I can’t wait to use it!
I check your blog often and love your inspiration and wonderful creations. I love anything scallop so I guess I love the oval scallop punch, but to pick only “one” favorite out of a new stampin up catalog is just not possible
Hello Mary! I totally enjoy checking out your website every day. My favorite item in the mini catalog is the scallop punch. I have done some wonderful things with that. Keep the ideas coming! You are so talented. Congrats!
I love the scallop punch because of its versatility with the overall stamp sets. Stamp, punch and you’re done; no cutting anything out! I also love the paper set; so springy!
Looking at your blog it is easy to see how you have gotten 1/2 million visits. WOW! and to think I found you by chance on a google search for Best Wishes & More samples.
My favorite item? I would love to have the Great Friend stamp set to go with the walk in the park paper and the rub ons.
Thanks for sharing your creativity.
I love the new Matchbox Die! But the oval all stamp set and it’s punch are adorable!

My favorite item in the mini catalog is the matchbox die.
Mary – you have a gift from God! I love your blog and the inspiration it brings each day! The new mini catalog is too stinkin’ cute! My favorite item is the Forest Friends stamp set! How sweet is that little deer?
Happy Weekend!
Congrats on the half million visits! Good news travels fast!
Your site is terrific – you are tireless and talented!
I would have to say the new Scalloped oval punch. The matchbox die and coordinating stamps is pretty cool as well.
Congratulations on hitting 500,000!
Mary,
Congratulations on a half million visits!! Wooohooo for you! I have to tell you that I visit here everyday and more than not, more than once! I am loving the things in the new Occasions mini catalog. After reading your post today, I love the Forest Friends stamp set. Truly, I love it ALL! What an addiction this is, lol. It could be worse things!
My favorite is the scalloped oval punch. I love your blog.
Congratulations on a huge milestone! I think my favorite has to be the scallop oval punch, but the Walk in the Park designer paper is a close second. Such a fabulous selection! Thanks for such a wonderful opportunity for great blog candy!
Debra
Thanks for all the inspiration! Favorite for me (hard choice) matchbox die for the big shot (but could use a tutorial on the window part).
Your projects are always beautiful! I think my favorite item in the mini is the scallop oval punch.
I love those Summer Love Rub-ons! They are gorgeous and the colors are very Spring and Fresh. They would look great on a scrapbook page, card, tag, box or even a mirror! Congratulations on half-a-mil!!
I love your site and you have so much talent! My fav from the mini has to be the oval punch-so much can be done with it!
It is so hard to choose just one thing to be my favorite as I pretty much love it all. I would have to pick Wagon Full of Fun as my most favorite thing in the new mini catalog.
On my first look through the Occasions Mini, I instantly fell in love with Scene in a Garden. It’s soooo my style! Can’t wait to get my pencils and color! Congrats on your blog success- I stop by regularly for inspiration and the latest SU! news.
I love your Bella Bleu card. The colors are so “snappy”. Great!
I lovethe matchbox die and I can’t wait to get it. I read you everyday on google reader, Thanks for the inspiration!
My favorite thing from the mini catalog is the window sheets, they are finally back!!
I really love the Scene in a Garden, those boots are too stinking cute! I can’t wait til I get my hands on that set and make tons of cards, I’m even considering using the table and adding a wreath on top and use as a Christmas card!!!
Wow I just found your site, and the talent is amazing.
My favorite item in the mini catalog is the new scalloped oval punch, and matching stamp set.
I can see the “just for you stamp” as a nice gift tag while using the new punch, holding back a few scallops to make it a little card.
Congrats on the site!
I love the Golden Oldie set. As we mature, we need more humor to get us through the daily challenges. Your blog really helps. Its the only reason I turn on my computer some days.
I am a punch and saying addict, so love the scalloped punch. I am hoping the large oval will set inside with about an 1/8″ to spare. Would go great with the mower guy.
You are truly a blessing to all of us stampers. Many of your cards are so elegant they bring touch my heart. Your bella blue is such a card.
Mary – I love your site. Your projects are wonderful – thanks for sharing. Wishing you continued success.
Kim Kasanic
Amazing as always! My favorite thing.. so far is the matchbook die! I have had a blast with it! Congrats on the 500,000 that is nice! Thanks for the oppertunity to win goodies!

My favorite in the new mini is the “Just Beachy” stamps set – I can’t wait to use those super cute flip flops and the funky fish! I think I’ll layer them on the Matchbox Die boxes (my 2nd favorite!)for fun favors this summer.
I like the stamp set with the mower man on it. We need more stamps with the male theme. I’m going to use that stamp for my dad and brother’s birthday cards.
Hey – where the heck did my post go?
I think my favorite is the Great Friends stamp set.
Congrats to you!

I have SOOO many favs from the occasions mini, but at the top of my list is: Great Friend, the rub-ons, Oval All, Scallop Oval Punch & Lazy Days jumbo roller… but it’s so hard to choose favs from such a line-up!
Thank you!

My favorite stamp set from the mini is Great Friend.
I also love the walk in the park paper!
Congratulations on 500,000 visits! It’s no wonder- your work is so inspiring I love visiting your site as do so many other people!
I am so excited about the new mini catalog! I am in love with Stampin’ Up’s silhouette theme so my favorite from the catalog is the Great Friend stamp set followed by the Walk in the Park designer series paper. I love the silhouettes so much in fact, I am making my own invitations for our wedding this fall using stampin up’s products and focusing on silhouettes!
My 2 year old son loves to “stamp” with me too. I spotted some adorable sets in the catalog- the Choo Choo set and the Just Beachy set are so cute! Thanks for having this drawing- it’s always exciting to enter stuff like this! – Laura
i love the matchbox die and have enjoyed seeing your sneak peeks with that. i also love the great friends stamp set. congratulations on the huge number of hits to your site. i enjoy looking daily and get a lot of inspiration from you…thanks!!

Congratulations!
My absolute favorites are the matchbox die and the coordinating stamps. Must. Have.
Congrats on the 500,000. Love your blog!
Congrats on your milestone! I love coming to your blog and seeing your lovely creations and wonderful tips. My hands-down fav in the mini catalog is the Sense of Time set (LOVE IT) with the match box die a very close second. Any prize would be great but if I had to choose I’d like the oval scallop punch. Thanks again for the wonderful inspiration and the chance to win some nice stuff!
Congrats on the 500k visits to your site! I look forward to it every morning when I get to work and am always delighted by your creativity and details that you put into your artwork. It’s inspiring and motivating for me. There are lots of neat things in the new mini catalog, and having to pick just one is a bit difficult. I will select the new scallop oval punch.
Mary,
Congratulations on your 500,000 visit. I must say that I have your blog on my favorites and check it often. I love the new mini catalog, and find it hard to pick a favorite between the stamps and the new XL die, but I must say that the scallop punch will be the first item I order.
I’m not sure which one I like more – the scalloped oval punch or the matchbox die.
Thanks for sharing all of your creative ideas!
At-a-girl for the 500,000! I know I’ve enjoyed every one of my countless visits. My fave is the Scallop Oval punch.
What a nice giveaway! I just love your style and your blog!
I absolutely adore your site and am not surprised that you have 500,000 visitors!
I love the look of the three frames on the mini matchbox die strip. SU has made a unique product so much more versatile by creating their matching stamp sets. They have to be my favorite Occasions mini new products.
I just love the matchbox messages and the oval scallop punch.
Congratualtions on your success. I look forward to your email each day. You deserve all the recognition and praise you receive each day. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Ellen

Thanks for all the work you put into them and for all the great tutorials. I am loving the new items in the mini catalog. I think my favorite is the scallop punch. That is difficult to say because each new item is great.

Thanks for the chance to win!!
Mary—
It’s apparent I’m not the only newcomer to card-making that regularly sneaks peaks at your creations with eager excitement every day, for ideas and inspiration. Your talent is obvious, and I marvel at your gift with color and design—truly something to aspire to! You are so dynamic and organized, it doesn’t surprise me to see the success of your blog. Thanks for sharing with us all, as ‘Mary Fish’ is a buzzword among my crafting friends. Oh, I would have to say (due to my addiction to paper), the Walk in the Park DSP makes my heart race…
That is a hard one–they really have some cute stuff this time around. I would have to say–the scalloped oval punch and Just Beachy. I love the car in this set.
Thanks for the chance to win and thanks for your blog. You create beautiful cards!
Lisa
I really like the Soft Summer stamp set, but what a hoot Golden Oldies are!
I enjoy my daily visit to your site.
I would have to pick Forest Friends as my top item in the mini catalog. I really like 4 different stamps and can’t wait to get them. Congrats on 500,000!
I just love your blog and the cards you make are just beautiful!! My favorite item is the scallop oval punch- gotta have it!!
Congratulations Mary! How can I pick just one favorite?!?! I can’t wait to try the new oval scallop punch, but I think my favorite item in the Spring Mini is the Soft Summer stamp set – it is beautiful!
Your cards are so beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for so many wonderful samples.
Mary,
I just LOVE the new rub-ons!!!!! It is nice to see more of them in great colors!!!!! I hope Stampin Up keeps adding more of them. I LOVE your style.
Lisa Bender
Hi Mary. Two of my favorite products are the rub-ons and the Designer Paper. They are beautiful. Congratulations on your blog hits! You’ve created a beautiful blog and I really enjoy looking at it every day.
Kudos to you, Mary! 500,000 is quite a feat! It is difficult to say which item is my favorite in the new mini catalogue, but as a punch addict, I would have to say the one I want the most (or first?) is the Scallop Oval… It would be too much to hope for that I would win it! Regardless, thank you so much for the blog candy give-aways and once again, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!
-Roberta
Congrats on 500,000.. My pesonal favorie from the mini catalog is the Many Mower stamp set. I love the sayings!! I enjoy your work! Thanks
Congrats on your blog, you certainly inspire me with your upscale creations. I love the new oval punch and stamp set that goes with it.
That sure is a heap o’ hits, and I know we all plan to keep them coming! That scalloped oval punch is a thing of beauty, but then again, so much else in this new mini is as well……….
I am fairly new to the stamping world, but have gone completely crazy over it. I check your site daily and am completely inspired by you. Congratulations on your major milestone. Here is to 500,000 more. The beauty in your cards takes my breath away most days. That you can still come up with fresh ideas day after day is something I aspire to. Please keep on stamping so the rest of us have someone to look up to.
My mom introduced me to your site! I adore it! How excited to be on the 500,000 visitors! <3
Mary –
Your blog is beautiful! So inspiring. After seeing your Valentine’s Day cards – I had to get that Love you Much set!
My top fav in the new mini is the Matchbox messages. Speaking of which – do you think the Matchbox Diecut will work on a Cuttlebug?
Congrats on your first 500,000. Totally cool!
Congratulations on 500,000 hits! That is amazing! I love to check out your blog everyday to get some great ideas using SU products. My favorite mini catalog product…the scallop oval punch with coordinating stamp set.
Yay for you, Mary!! I love the Just Beachy stamp set (I can’t wait to go to the beach just so I can get it and use it!!) and I really love the Designer Series Paper, in fact I think my husband is going to order it for me for my birthday (on the 18th!!). There are so many others that I love but those two just really stick out!!
hugs…
I visit your blog every morning; sometimes to look for ideas, sometimes just to admire your creativity and beautiful artwork (yes, as the spouse of an art teacher, I consider card making an art form). I have been absolutely drooling over the scallop punch ever since you first used it in a design, at the very beginning of the Mini “Sneak Peeks”. It will be at the top of my next order form, followed closely by the corresponding stamp set. Thanks for all you do and the inspiration you have upon my card making attempts!
Congratulations, Mary!! I visit your blog almost daily and absolutely love everything you do. I’m inspired each & every time I visit. Hard to pick a favorite from the Occasions Mini….maybe Great Friend…or that new designer hardware?
Congrats on all the hits! I like many things in the mini but have to say my favorite would be the scallop oval punch. Love my punches! Thanks for the chance to win some awesome candy. jmniffer
For me, it would have to be the matchbox die–I love creating small packages and this one looks like it will be a lot of fun! Thank you for all your wonderful ideas–they are a real inspiration!
Wow! That’s a LOT of hits! Congrats! It’s hard to pick a favorite from this mini, but I’d have to say the new dsp. I just love the patterns and the pretty colors.
What beautiful cards and projects! I love the new mini and my favorite set is “Just Beachy.” I love the wagon with the surfboard on top. Just right for my dad for a fun Father’s Day card.
…continued from above – I would love to win the scalloped punch! Thank you Mary – for inspiring me every day.
The scalloped oval punch would be my favorite.
Congratulations Mary – you have the most wonderful site. There is no other place I go on the web for inspiration – only you. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us.
Congratulations! I can see why, your blog is awesome. I have it saved as a favorite and I check it daily. Thanks for everything you do. As far as the mini catalog, it is hard to pick one thing but I really do like the scallop oval punch.
Thanks again.
Cindy
Wow! 500,000 visits!! I know why: you’re so generous with your ideas – and so gifted! It’s a rare day that I don’t check in and get inspired!! I love the “tips” you provide to make it easy to re-create your designs. Thank YOU SO MUCH. OH, my favorite from the mini: The matchbox die…but I’ll have to wait awhile to order that one. Congratulations!!!
Congrats on 500,000 visits! My favorite item out of the mini is the Scallop Oval Punch. It goes so well with so many different stamps.
I’m drawn to Just Beachy–love those fish! Congrats on all those blog hits!
Hmmmm scalloped oval punch? or the coordinating stamp set? oh, maybe the Walk in the Park DP! No no no…the Great Friend stamp set! Oh, heck…I can’t decide! I just want them all!
As you may remember, I wrote to ask about the scalloped oval punch and its size. I absolutely LOVE these two new products! As well as Very Versatile, and Great Friends! Is there anything in the Occasions mini that I don’t like? Not at all! Thanks Mary, you’ve always been a great help to me and my ordering, and and answering my questions! Hugs back atcha’!
I always love visiting your blog! You have been a huge inspiration as I have only recently started stamping! My new favorite item is the oval scallop punch. Thank you for sharing your creativity. ~Marcia
I love so many things in this new little mini! I have to say that first on my list is the new scallop oval punch! And then the stamp set that goes with it!
Scene in a garden and Very Versatile are my two top picks because I know they will be well used. If I want to be non-practical, and just plain fun I want the buttons and the matchbox die. Huge {{{Congrats}}} on 500k! I think it was only last August you hit 100k. You have worked so hard and are a poster girl for success!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woo hoo – hard to imagine having so many hits, how exciting! Congrats Mary. Of all the bloggers, yours is the best and I can’t get enough. Your creativity astounds me.

Your elegance, attention to detail and modern style consistently amaze and inspire me. It is difficult to pick a fave in the mini but I absolutely adore the colors and mood of “walk in the park” DSP. Thank you for a chance to win great goodies and for sharing your talent with all of us everyday. Best to you!

Wow, Congrats…I think my favorite is the baja buttons, I’m REALLY into buttons right now and couldn’t figure out why they didn’t have them in the catty, ah-ha…the mini 🙂 Thanks and congratulations again!!
Congratulations Mary! No surprise at all! Yours is a must view daily experience. Favorite? Hmmmmm….I love the suitcase on the cover but as it’s not on offer in the mini anyway (though Provocraft sells them) I’m truly torn. The punch is wonderful and I love all but two of the stamp sets but since I’m a sucker for satin ribbon and the Big Shot I’ll have to say the new die (especially the tags) and the new white ribbon for non stamps (so hard cause I love the big grommets and the rub ons too) for the stamps that’s really hard. My inner college student teen person loves Great Friend the more adult reader of Real Simple magazine me hankers for Scene in a Garden and my Christian side loves the Very Versatile and the longing for spring loves Soft Summer and…..see what I mean about being a gotta have it all kind of gal! So in the interest of gotta, wanna have it all please please oh random generator catch my vibe and pick me…please pretty please with a wellie boot on top!
Hugs and blessings Mary and thanks for sharing Million dollar candy at the halfway mark! – Jean

Congrats, Mary, you’ll be at 1 million in no time with all your followers. Kept checking your blog repeatedly to see what was new. Finally figured out Google Reader so added you there. Now I know I always get your latest creations without missing a beat. Oh, to decide on a favorite is difficult. Love the Matchbox Bigz XL die & message but also love the Walk In The Park DSP. However, because I’m such a practical person, the scallop oval punch would top my list. And then, of course, my wish list would include Oval All to use with the punch. It never ends. My list grows with each of your inspirations. Thanks for the chance to win such wonderful gifts. I’m crossing my fingers that I’m the lucky winner for once. Keep up the awesome blog & love your polka dot banner!
Congratulations, I love your blog. Your creations are fantastic. Thank you for your inspiration! I love punches, I think the Oval Scallop would be my favorite in the mini book. Thank you for the chance to win…
Congratulations!
I love the stamp set with the wagon!
Wow!!! 500,000 visits!! Now that’s a lot of stampers 😉 I love coming her to see the beautiful things you create. You have given me so much inspiration!
As for my favorite….I think it would have to be the matchbox die….even though the oval punch w/ matching stamps is a very close second! 🙂
Yahoo!! Congrats on your milestone! I think I’ve contributed at least 200 to it. 🙂 See you at the MN Regional!
Irene
Your blog is one of my favorites and I visit it daily. Congratulations on your phenomenal success! As far as a favorite item in the mini, I’d have to say that I love “An Egg-celent Easter”. The illustrations remind me of a beloved children’s book. Thanks for your wonderful blog!

I knew I had lots of company visiting here.
I like the scallop oval punch. I am “punch crazy”

The Scallops is definitely my favorite!!!
Congrats on 500,000 hits. I love checking out your blog daily. You have such great ideas. My favorite in the spring mini has got to be the scallop oval punch and a close second would be the “Wagon Full of Fun” stamp set.
Hi Mary, I love coming to your blog to see all the wonderful things you create. Thanks for sharing your talent!! My favorite item in the Occasions Mini is the new DSP. I am such a push over for pretty paper. Blessings!
joyfuljan
Hey, Mary! What a sweet thing for you to do to celebrate your 500,000th visit! You know I love everything you create! You have such a great eye! I love so many things in the Occasions Mini catalog too, but if I had to choose just one, I think it would be the Matchbox Bigz XL die. It has so many possibilities! Thanks for offering these great prizes. Congratulations! Hugs to you!
Congratulations! You do have a fabulous website! I check it out daily. I love Walk in the Park paper series. When I saw the card you made using the paper, I searched for it in the Idea Book. When I couldn’t find it, I was sure I missed out!!…. Now I can’t wait to get the series!
Hi, Mary! You sure know how to celebrate!! I think my favorite new item is the scalloped oval punch simply because punches are so easy to use and they add instant pizazz to almost anything. I like several of the stamp sets and the matchbox die (which I ordered) as well. Thank you for your daily dose of inspiration and beauty!
Wow Mary! Seems like you just hit a milestone not that long ago. Congrats!
I’m with you ~ I LOVE the Scalloped Oval Punch! That’s got to be my favorite! Gee, if I were lucky enough to win one I’d probably pee my pants!!! LOL
Thanks for the fun chance at the blog candy!
Congrats, Mary! 1/2 a million — incredible! You continue to inspire me every day. So funny that you are giving away ALL my favorites from the Occasions Mini! If I HAD to choose, I think it would have to be the Baja Breeze buttons, though the new scallop punch had me salivating, ha! ha! Thanks for all your wonderful ideas and glad to be here with you when you hit the cool million!
Congratulations Mary but I must say I am not in the least little bit surprised. Since I found your blog a few months ago, I can’t go a day without checking to see what wonderful new treat you have to show us. I love your attention to detail and all your special tips that take rubber stamp art to a whole new level. I can’t wait to own the new oval scallop punch from the occasions mini catalog and the matching stamp set…cute stuff! Thanks for the chance to win great blog candy.
Definitely the scallop oval punch! I can hardly wait to get my hands on that.
Congratulations on your fantastic milestone!!! Your blog is awesome, very inspiring love all your color paper combinations – love those cards!!! It’s difficult to pick just one favorite from the Occasions mini, – probably the oval scallop punch that works so well with the stamp set Oval All, also the Walk in the Parks is lovely.
Thanks for all your posts on the blog. Here’s rooting for your next milestone!!!
Yeah, Mary! Congrats on the hits! My absolute favorite item in the Mini is the stamp set, “Great Friend”. I love this set and can’t put it down!
Mary, a scrapper buddy of mine recently forwarded me the link to your blog and I am so glad she did! I worship your creative talent. You inspire me and that is why I now check your site nearly every day. My wish list of SU stamps and accessories grows every time I check your site. I love almost everything in the SU spring mini; however, if I had to pick just one as a ‘must have’ favorite, it would be the oval scallop punch. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your awesome ideas!!
First of all, congrats on your blogaversary or whatever it is called! I certainly have used my quota of visits! I really enjoy your postings. Ah, my favorite – oh such a tough answer. But, I honestly just love the Golden Oldes set – I am thinking of all the Maxine sayings that could be used with those characters. I have seen a couple Walk in the Park papers used on cards and really liked those but that is just paper. Those corduroy buttons look too fun to use. Then those stamps for Oval All are pretty cool with the punch and same for the Great Friend Set. Well, I still gotta go with my first pick – the Golden Oldies Set. Can’t wait to see all the fun projects made up with this set. Thanks so much for all your inspiration and knowledge! Here is to another 500,000 visits!!!
The new punch and coordinating stamp set are a must have! I enjoy all the great SU! only projects you have on your blog, thank you!
Congrats Mary!!! You always have such beautiful cards and you truly inspire me. I’ve signed up for lots of blog candy, but I’ve never won any. Maybe I’ll get lucky this time. I love the die and certainly have favorites lined up after that. I’m sure I would use the scallop punch more. I love all my punches…Cheryl
Congrats! My favorite is the new scallop oval punch. a girl can never have too many punches!
Wow great candy!! Love your blog and all the cards. I love the match box die, talk about making things easy!!!
Congrats on your milestone! It doesn’t seem like a big favorite yet of the comments I’ve seen, but I love the Forest Friends stamp set. Okay I had to check the name a couple times as it has been a long day at work and a glass of wine later =)
My favorite new item is the oval scallop punch! Love those scallops!!

I love it all but I guess my favorite is the scallop oval punch. Keep up the inspiration Mary! You do a great job!

The great friend stamp set. Ever since I saw this on a card last week I’ve been waiting for the mini catalog to start. I really like the card you made with the butterfly rub on too so I’ll be looking to by the rubons as well. Thanks for posting all of your beautiful projects and cards. They are amazing!
I love your stamping room! The organization and overall vibe give me something to aspire to. I love the buttons, such great texture and baja breeze and gray are two of my very favorite colors!
I absolutely love your site…so full of inspiration and perfection. Oh to pick only one favorite from the mini catalog…I love the Great Friend set, love the oval punch but the Just Beachy set speaks to me…..so much fun and I adore the beach! It has so many possiblities! Thanks for keeping us all inspired!!!

I have never used rubons before and I am looking forward to these especially since they are colored.

The mini catalog is so fabulously diverse this time. I don’t know how on earth I’m supposed to pick just *one* favorite. How about a favorite new die (the matchbox!) a favorite new punch (ah, more scallops is such a happy thing!), a favorite new paper (I *heart* coral and I’m so glad to see it show up in the Walk in the Park DSP!) and a favorite new stamp set (Great Friend has that fabulous frame and I love that font!).

Oh, that’s a tough choice. I really like the stamp set Very Versatile, and I love the Walk in the Park designer series paper.
The item I NEED from the new mini is the scallop oval punch. (Don’t forget the coordinating stamp set!) Oh yeah, the DP is swwwweeeeeet too!

Congrats!!! You have a FANTASTIC blog! I visit EVERY DAY. Thank you for your hard work. Also, thanks for being so generous….we should be giving YOU blog candy!!
My favorite is the scallop oval punch!
There are so many products that I like in this mini but my definite favorite is the scalloped oval punch! Love the matching stamp set too! Congrats on all of your blog hits! I visit your blog regularly and love your work… the designs are always so clean and elegant!!
My favourite is Forest Friends! Congrats and thanks for the opportunity at an awesome contest!
It’s really hard to pick one thing in the mini that I love. The scallop oval is SCALLOPED so of course I love it. But then I love any and all things with butterflies so the paper, stamps, and rub-ons are also favorites. Then there’s the new corduroy brads, they’ve made me fall in love with the color gray and use it instead of chocolate chip all the time!
Yes, very difficult indeed to choose, but if I have to choose one, I think it’s the yummy Walk in the Park paper!
I LOVE your blog and visit every day for inspiration and tips. I thank you so much for sharing so much!!
Best wishes for 500,000 more!!
Mary, congratulations on your hits. I have been a “follower” of your blog for some time as you give me great inspiration. My fave in the Mini Occasion catalog is the Oval scallop punch.
