I can’t believe where I must have been, because I’ve certainly missed out on a lot. I love your flowers. I bet that flower press works much better than my book I press mine in. Of course, I need a few flowers, too (grin). Maybe we could trade.
Seriously, I love that iron works stamp. It is awesome and the way you carried it across both pages is super. Also love the angel.
