Happy (Belated) World Cardmaking Day!

So, an unfortunate byproduct of not having one of those real-life 9-5 jobs is that I’ve become terrible at deadlines. I don’t know how September ended without my noticing, but on Friday I realized that I’d only posted 1 of my 4 TSB cards for the month.

Aside from the normal cleaning, packing and shopping that accompanies a normal vacation, I’ve got blog posts to schedule, doctors’ appointments to go to, and …
