Welcome to the Paper Secrets Society! I am hoping this works I'm trying something new...

OMG, I lost it at the purse. That was so cool, thank you! And all of the extras were awesome and so thoughtful as well. I'm into Teddy Roosevelt as a theme but def need to brainstorm on that one. I want to make you something worthy of the title!

kiwivandal on Apr 14, 2025:

So glad to see you in my new swap! I'll be posting a few more soon :)
