texture/embossing plates-

Corner Border Punch

V.S. {craft knife}

What do Stephanie Plum novels, sweet and sour chicken, and the fingertip craft knife have in common?
Answer: They are all things I decided I don’t like based on appearances, and that I’ve tried in the last week and discovered that I LOVE!!!
It’s simple enough, I decide I won’t like things before I try them. It’s […]
