As some of you may know, we launched Finders Keepers at a local craft fair (the Village Venture in Claremont, CA) in October. We crafted our little fingers off getting ready for the launch and one of the items we are most proud of are our Artisan Spiral Journals. We started with a strong chipboard…

Everything’s Coming Up Rosettes
