I don't know anyone who plays Bridge. It seems to be a lost game, hidden beneath piles of old photos and dusty books. But when I search 'how to play Bridge' online, there are so many results that is seems to be alive and well after all.

Two New Journals
I also have to feed both my vintage and modern papercraft needs, so I recently made two (really, three) types of journals.

I am forever sitting on the other side of the green grass, mesmerized by everyone's papercrafting creations.

Using Your Stash to Make Embellishments
Hey out there is scrappy land! It's cold here in Midwest USA. I keep wondering when it will finally warm up: I mean it's only been like 5 months of chilled air...ugh!
