I have a post coming up on graft gossip about how I hoard stationary. While I was writing it I got up and took some photos of things from my stationary drawer. Which, btw, is only about 1/2 of all my actual stationary. the other half is stored in various boxes up in my craft [...]

Darn it! my most favoritest shoes broke today! I am so sad, also, NOT defeated. I will not be defeated. These shoes will be fixed!
