Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine Blog Hop

Hello & welcome to the Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking magazine farewell blog hop!  This is a HUGE amazing collaboration between over 200 paper crafters around the globe to celebrate & share memories of one of the biggest crafting publications in the industry.

There are just so many memories & I'm just so thankful for the time we had.  Love you PC&S!!!
