[press sample] Somehow, my timing really worked out. I finished my 6-week Zentangle drawing journey only a few days ago and what should arrive but my latest review package from Beauty BigBang. I was excited to play with all the new shinnies so today we’re looking at a lovely 12-grid Read More
[press sample] I did manage to snag one of Beauty BigBang’s Valentine’s Day stamping plates: BeautyBigBang XL-046. I know, I know. You miss the Christmas/winter made to work designs.
