40 days without sugar begins now.

I’m giving up sugar for Lent.  There. I said it. It’s public and out for all of the internets to see. I’m accountable now.

The poster commented that she will be more focused on working on her shop, be more productive, and hopefully more successful.  I started thinking about what I should give for Lent.

I’m trying to write them all down so that I can work through them one by one.  While holiday cards (Christmas, Valentine’s, etc) are very busy times for me, I also want to create some cards to keep on hand, that you can use for any reason…or for no reason at all! I made a few of...
