HiYa, Stampers!      Sorry I haven't finished posting my February Stamp Camp projects yet, but I've spent the last two full days working on our super-easy, short forms, taxes!  Just let me say, NOT!  It's taken me twice as long as in the past - so not sure what's supposed to be better about the new forms, etc.  BUT, I digress...      Just wanted to remind you that SAB Part 2 starts Friday.  You can find the brochure on my blog by just clicking above and you can shop from there, as well.  Have fun!
