She wakes to Blog again!


Wake Up!
(Big Yawn)....Well, it looks like my long blog nap is just about over.  I have been inspired to begin posting again by reading some of my friends blogs and seeing all of the cool things they are doing and posting about!  So I thought its time to wake up and share my adventures in paperland with you all.  I am planning to post some of my past artsy projects and some new ones I am working on!  (I really gotta work on taking the time to post things more often).
