Hey everybody, this is Pam at the Paper Outpost.
You want to have some easy fun with good old index cards? If you've got any of these laying around,
let's make some fun things for our junk journals. Super beginner friendly and
three very different ideas with index cards. I've got some big ones,
I've got some small ones, vintage ones, new ones, some from the dollar store, some from the thrift store.
Let's play with these babies. Okay, so let me show you the three prototypes first of all.
So you can get an idea what we're making.
We're gonna be making a little corner tuck out of one.
I believe this is the large one. So let me give you the size on that.
You don't have to have, you can make these any size.
I just happen to use the 4x6 one for this and it has a little...
I'm also gonna show you, this is Butterfly Writings. This is from my
January
2026 DigiKit collection. This is just one of
them and this one has large butterflies with writings and
small butterflies and medium-sized butterflies. So lots of fun things that you can make with this particular
DigiKit. Anyway, I just wanted to show you that one. And this is a
DigiKit with a
index card back and
there's a couple of little rubber stamped images here from
index cards. So these are like little mini
index card journal, journal cards.
So you could write your little favorite, my favorite color is or your favorite
author or whatever you like on here, a favorite date for you. And I made it into a little
tuck pocket in the back here. So I'll show you how to make all that. It's very easy. And the second thing is
this is a belly band that I made from the
Butterfly Writings DigiKit and then I made this envelope out of a music page.
I used a little butterfly to be the tab. This is a whole sticker.
And then I used a butterfly sticker to hold the envelope together.
So very easy construction. And I used the bigger,
let me see if I've got an example, there are some bigger images here for to a page.
So I took two of those and I made a simple greeting card that anybody can use for a thank you or well wishes or
birthday, whatever they like, totally up to them. I'll show you how to make those. Those are pretty easy to make.
Oops, in the back there. All right, close it up and
then tuck this little guy back in.
All right, here we go.
In you go. Okay, and then the third
little thing that I made, which was kind of fun,
this is an index card pocket. Very simple to make, but it has a back and a front.
So it's an individual pocket. You could leave this loose. I chose to glue it in a U-shape.
So there's actually a bigger pocket in the very back and then there is a smaller pocket in the front.
So you could put something large in the background
and then something small in here. And here I did a trifold design.
This is from the mid-sized page of the Digi Kids.
And then I just made it a little booklet where they could put some pictures, some writings, and made it into a vintage
stationery stylized piece. So
very fun, very easy to do. And
there we go. So let's make it.
This is actually an older journal that I made a long time ago and I've kept this one. I'm not going to sell this one,
but I
figured I would use it for
examples of what we're doing. So, okay, let's make this little guy first. And he's really easy and he's really fun.
So I want to show you him first. So basically I took this four by six.
Oh, this little guy came off. Okay, this four by six
index card and I just made a square out of it
by putting one edge up to the other, or the point of one edge up to the edge of the other, and
then folding this over.
Okay, trying to line it up here.
There we go. And the final fold is this and
that makes
this. So then I
just took some ink. This is Gathered Twigs, and
I just inked around it. I did a little bit of gluing. So this little guy here
needs a little bit of glue. You can use a glue stick or
any glue you like here will work just fine.
And if you want to put a little bit of glue on this edge,
then that will glue that down and that will become a little pocket there for tucking purposes. Now you can
ink these up any way you like,
different colors.
They do look very different with different colors.
So, but I figure the brown is great to start with because then you can go anywhere with that.
You can add colors to it, things like that.
I'm gonna leave the back plain because I'm just gonna glue it straight down like that.
And what I did, what I think you, if you saw my video the other day,
or maybe a few of my videos, I've been, where is it now?
Okay, well, maybe we're not going to do that because I can't find it. It probably blew away somewhere.
But I had this old piece of tape and I decided I wanted to put it on here as a
honorary
nod to old stationery. And I had two pieces and you think I could find the last piece? Nope.
Okay, so that means that we're gonna get creative with what we have in front of us and just make things from that.
So how about that?
Now I did put some words on there and I do like to
keep a little box of words. So sometimes you find cute little sayings or
dictionary definitions, which are really cute or
splendid. I don't think that's spelled right. Okay. Well, that's that's the way it goes.
Family, that would be a good one.
Adore.
Smile. Let's go with smile.
This little guy, he looks cute too. Is he a sticker? He might be a sticker.
Motivation is what gets you started. A habit is what keeps you going. I like that. That's nice.
I'm gonna put you there in the corner. Are you a sticker? Oh, you are a sticker. Look at you.
You're pretty sticky. I don't think we need help, but just in case it never hurts.
All right. I have a love-hate relationship with stickers. Yep. Love them. Love the pictures.
Don't like peeling them apart because I can rarely do it.
But that was a lucky go there. And maybe I could even put that. That's kind of cute there.
Maybe I'll put it up here. I don't know. Maybe over here. Yeah, on an angle right there.
So you can decorate them up any way you like. This one up here had words, a stamp, some raffia, and some
I'm gonna get you down here. Some rubber stamping up in that corner.
But let's see what we can do with this one and what we have since I can't find my.
Yeah, I like that. Yeah, I'm going to follow that line.
And then I'm just going to have fun with a brown Stabilo pencil, water-soluble
pencil. And this one, we usually use a black one, but I do have a brown one. This is
paper, glass, plastic, and metal. Stabilo, aquarellable. That's a number on there. 8045.
8045. So there you go. All right. So I am just going to accent this little piece. I'm going to
zoom in a little bit so you can see a little bit better. Maybe with like denoting the
corners of this little piece. Now, you can wet this and the colors will blend, but I don't know
if I'm going to wet it. I might just use it for its brown. So it just broke. Okay, well, there you
go. How's that? I can still use this. Let me try that. I just hate to lose all that. I don't know
if I can. Too small. Too small with my fingers. So I'm going to use my Derwent favorite pencil
sharpener. These are soft pencils. So I guess the tip there is be mindful with them when you don't
push too hard. Basically, that's the message. Try again. One, two, three. This is the best pencil
sharpener in the world. I'm going to leave it a shorter tip. I'm not going to make it as long.
I'm learning from the woes of my ways here. Okay. All right. Maybe I'm just going to accent these
a little bit. This one's gonna be a little different looking because there's really no
rules when it comes to this stuff. You just sort of play it as you go. And maybe I want a little
color in here. I want a little something. I have this flower I cut out. Well, that would be nice
if I decorated that up a little bit. Maybe gave her a little center and gave her a little accent
here. I was using paper punches with these and just pinched some shapes out so they're ready
to go. And lo and behold, I think it's the right color I'm looking for here. So let's try this.
Make this look like a petunia. Okay, there we go. And or your favorite flower of choice.
There we go. So I might just tuck that in there. I think that's kind of cute.
Okay, let me see if I can find. Oh, I can. If you want. Okay. Okay. I hear you. You want to
see what it looks like when I wet it. All right. I love to use. Don't forget to cover your glue cap.
Cover your glue stick. Okay. Hand cup. Just water. A little q-tip. Damp. And then
just run along the lines and it blurs. It's water soluble color in there.
Do I want to? Let's just do that one. Yeah, I'm not going to do the corners because I like the corners
sharp the way they are. Yeah. Okay, there. I think that's kind of cute. I'm going to wipe
this on my shorts. Those are jean shorts. And that's what you do with jean shorts.
And it was clean water. So it's okay. So now we have this little guy. Now we could amp it up a
little bit. I did do some rubber stamping here. But maybe on this one, I want to do the rubber
stamping in the body. So maybe here's my gather twigs distress ink, little Nora Jane on Etsy
peg stamp. And I'm just going to put some foliage in here to give it a little pizzazz.
And you can, you can bunch up the foliage, layer it in there. You can put a lot, you can put a
little, it doesn't matter. Something like that. So there we go. Now this is something that can
receive a little item. And what I tucked in here was the, what did I? Oh, right. I made this
journal card pocket with two extra journal cards in it. So you can write on here and
you can write on the backs of those. So let's go ahead and make one of those. Super easy,
super fun. All right. And I think I used a regular size index card, three by five,
just confirming. Yep. Three by five. Okay. And I think I used two, one for the leaves and one for
the back of this card. So I used a small, like a midsize picture and I've got some cut out here
already. So I'll just use one of these and I'm just going to trim off the white here.
And you don't, you could actually color that all in with brown. You don't necessarily have to,
with your inker, you could do that. You can come along and do, do, do, do, and just make it like
that. So I'm going to turn this around. And with my amazing glue stick, and this is a jumbo glue
stick made by Scotch 3M. Okay. Okay. I'm going to put that there and try and line it up as best
I can. Okay. And then I am going to come and trim it a little bit because I'm never good at that.
Okay. So now I'm going to fold this up, match it up with the bottom and that magically makes
our little pocket. Let me just turn that a little bit. Okay. That's my mooing chair. Yes. It's a
good luck crafting mooing chair. I don't know. Yep. I haven't gotten the WD-40 out yet. I'm
working on it. Yep. I never think about it whenever I go in the garage. It's like the last thing in my
mind. I only think about it when I sit down and my chair starts mooing. So my apologies for the
mooing chair. I'm just going to ink this up a bit. You know, you just give it a hazy background.
That's an easy way to jazz it up a little bit. Okay. And then maybe I've got a little bit of
glue ooze here, so I'm just going to use that up. Is it still wet? Try. No, that's not bad.
Would have been better about 30 seconds ago, but hey, you know, it's not bad. Okay. There we go.
I'm going to squash that together. And now I have my little pocket and I have my front
and I made a little paper clip just so it was like something to grab when you want to pull it
out of there. It's not really necessary. It's just a little design element, if you will. Now,
all my paper clips have somehow become married to each other. Okay. So I put this little guy
up here and if I have a little, I should have a little extra piece of raffia. Oh, here you go.
Very simple. And you can break raffia apart and turn it into multiple strings
because it often does this. Or if you like the frayed look, just leave it like that.
And I'm just going to do a couple of throws in here. Probably left over, right, right over left
would be ideal to get the knot to lock. But yeah, I forgot this time. Okay, there we go. But it's
going to, it's going to do just fine. Okay. So we have that little guy. Now we're going to make our
very easy little leaves and there's really nothing fancy to these. These are just, you could
do anything. I did these leaves before, but let's see if we can find something. I have this leaf.
Okay. It's a little bigger. Let me see if I can get two out of this. I don't remember how good
this stamp is, but we'll give it a go. We'll try one that way. Oh, that's pretty good. I'm pretty
happy about that one. And that'll give a little variety in this journal. Now two different kinds
of leaves, oak leaves and maple. Oh, that one came out really good. Look at that one. Yeah.
Sometimes you just get lucky with the old stamperoony. You never know. I'm probably the
most unprofessional stamper. Okay. So this is where I break down and actually fussy cut these
out. So I'm just going to cut them apart first of all. I stamped it on the wrong side. Did anybody
catch that? I was going to leave it so you had the writing on the back. Okay. I'm not going to
lose those. I'm just going to do another one quickly here. And with the wisdom of my learning curve,
I am now learned. I need to put the stamp on the back. All right, here we go. Rolling with it.
There we go. Oh, okay. Now it's all juicy. Sometimes you're second. And like after the
first impression, the subsequent ones, I think work better because your stamp is prime. Boy,
I sound like a fancy stamper. Yeah. I really don't know what I'm talking about with that,
but I've heard that somewhere that the second impression usually comes out better. I think it's
because there's already ink on the stamp. It's ready to deliver its payload, you know, that kind
of stuff. All right, here we go. And this is called super fast fussy cutting. You're supposed
to move the paper, not your hands, but you know, it's a kind of a free-for-all with this process
for me. Okay. One. And then, so it doesn't really take all that long. And some people really get
into fussy cutting. Like it makes their day and they could do it for hours. I have like, I can go
for a bit and I need a little break. Then go for a bit and I need a little break. All right. All
right. There we go. Now we have the second little leaf ski. Okay. I'm just going to go around the
there. Okay. And now we have, voila, our little journal cards that are going to get tucked in
here. So using what? One, two, one, two. Well, if you don't count the one bluebird that I did,
a little mistake there. Then we are good. I guess you could do these just a little bit on the
outside. Just kind of gives it that little vintage look. Let's do that. And then I believe
I put a butterfly sticker here, just going with the butterfly theme. And if you don't have
butterflies, you could just cut one of these butterflies out, fussy cut it out. But I have
about a million stickers and maybe this is my year to use up my stickers. So just going over here.
Hang on. I'm going to find the right one. Okay. Hang on. I'm almost there. Oh, here.
Okay. So now this butterfly is probably a little taller than this.
So what I'm going to do is I'm not going to peel it off the back because I don't want
sticky wings up here. So I'm literally going to break all the rules and just stick this butterfly
down as if it was just one piece of paper. And I think it's going to be just fine.
Excuse me. My, my glue bottle has a little gas. Yeah, it happens. Okay. All right. Here we go.
There we go. And there you go. Okay. And you could put it on an angle. I'll put it on angle.
Okay. And so we have this guy. It was this guy and that. So I did a little extra emphasis on
there. So maybe we'll do that here again, using the same brown aquarellable Stabilo pencil. I'll
try and put a link to that so you guys can find it. And I did put a little rubber stamp of a goose.
Are you the goose? No. Are you the goose? Yes. In the corner, just for a little corner accent.
You know, a random goose could walk by at any moment. It could happen. Okay. All right. So
there we go. Maybe I want to layer this one taller, one shorter. That looks kind of cute.
And then this will go somewhere in this journal or another journal like so. Okay. So let's put
you over there. And then we're going to move on to the second piece, which is this very fun,
very easy to make belly band with accompanying greeting card and envelope. So let me get the,
this was made with the smallest ones. I believe there's 16 to a page in this set. So let me go
ahead and cut these out. I'm going to do my best to cut a straight line. Always questionable. I do
my best. All right. And I'm going to cut off the whites here because I do need this to stay on the
page. And if it, if it breaches the top and the bottom, I can always turn it back or I can allow
it to breach the page, which is actually a desirable artistic look in some circles. Yes,
yes it is. So the idea, okay, this is going to be glued at the top and the bottom, not on this page
per se, but maybe a different page. Maybe over here, here, that would be nice. All right. Let's
just glue it down. What the heck? This is cool paper. I don't even know what I got that from,
but that's really cool paper. That feels like the inside of a, you know, like that of the old books,
they have these cool flyleaf pages. I don't know what they're called, but they're the
first and the last pages of a book that are actually designed to protect your signatures.
And often they're a very cool, different feeling textured paper. At least they were back in the
day and your, your belly band. Okay. This one, I'm going to put more in the middle because
honestly that's where it landed. But the other one was a little bit off to the side.
It's in here somewhere. Okay. You can put it a little bit to the right, a little bit to left.
It's all good. It's all good. That's right. Okay. So there's that. And then I'm going to take one of
the larger images and we're going to make a greeting card out of it. So the easiest thing
for me to do is take two, fold it in half, and then I fix it. And fix it can be anything from
taking it to my guillotine cutter, just making sure all the corners align, or I could take a
pair of fancy cut scissors. And if I do this, they're going to come out the same size, exactly.
So it's going to look like a greeting card. All right. This is just literally some thrift store
fancy designer paper, deckled edge scissors that I picked up along the way somewhere.
And I just, I use the bejeebers out of these guys. I just love, you know,
probably came in a set of 10 different, you know, things, but this little deckled edge one,
I really like, but you might find one you like better and that's okay. So now it's even on both
sides and maybe to enhance, just going to darken up those edges again. Okay. And then the inside
you could leave plain or you could enhance this fold, which I love to do. And you could even come
around and do the inside as well. So this is a nice gift that you can add to any junk journal,
a ready to go greeting card for any occasion. Who doesn't need a ready to go greeting card
for any occasion? I know I do. I'm always scrambling for a greeting card, some sort.
Yeah. Some of us still actually make greeting cards or mail greeting cards.
We're old fashioned that way. We don't just send e-cards. That's right. People send those real ones.
Let me get that music paper. All right. Got it. Okay. So let me back up a little bit so you can
see what I'm doing. Move that over there. So this is going to be very simple. We're going to take
this little end right here and bring it up till we make a square. So many fun things you can do
with a square. You want to make sure it lines up all the way across from the little pointy point
here, all the way flush lined up there. Make your fold. Then you can cut this off. We don't need it.
Always do my best to cut a straight line. It's pretty much a shot in the dark,
but it's really bad. I can go and get my guillotine cutter. Okay. Here's the easiest envelope in the
world. If you put this here and fold that up about about halfway, I'd say here. Now I'd say
when you fold this over, don't make it super flush with this edge or you're never going to get the
card in and out. Just leave leave a little wiggle room there. It's okay that it should be a little
bit bigger, just maybe a quarter of an inch and just make sure your two pieces match there. And
what I did with that was I put a sticker and I found a sticker here. So we're going to use this
one. Yeah, no, I don't want to use that one. You know why? Because this is Mexican limeade and it
really, which is I'm sure a fabulous drink, but it really doesn't go with my theme. And so maybe
I'm just going to bring in this bad boy. That's right. I thought you had no purpose. Well, you
just let you come with me. I'm going to give you purpose. We're going to make you a sticker.
That's right. This is the guy that I put on the wrong side of the index card. But then as we
learn in crafting, there really is no wrong. There's just, we'll find another use for you
another day. And today is your day. That's right. Okay. And we ink, which makes it look so grand.
All right. And that is going to be glued here and that's going to hold everything together.
So we really only have to glue one little thing down in that whole menagerie, which is kind of
fun. All right. So let's get this all gluey. There we go. Put that down, put this low. Don't
stick it onto your card. That's the only thing you need to be aware of. Okay. You got that. And
then we can do this from the top down. If I can cover that, which apparently I can,
maybe I can do the same thing with this guy since I have to, I'm just going to cut another one.
All right. Using what we got. Everything's craft supply until proven. Otherwise,
even our little blue birds, my mama called them. There's no mistakes. They're just bluebirds. And
you just, you know, look at them with fresh eyes. She was so right. Thank you, mama.
All right. Now this one, I'm just going to glue below here.
And actually I could probably glue it a little bit up on the sides. Let me get the other glue
because I can put it more precisely. All right, here we go. This is the Fabri-Fix.
It's getting a little thick on me. I'm gonna have to add some acetone right now. Put you there.
I could put a little bit there and a little bit there, but not there because that needs to come
out. So don't glue that. All right. Glue any over, remove any over glue. So this works as a,
a tuck for that top flop. And then we can put this in. Could actually do that. That's kind of cool.
Look at that. Yeah, I like that. Okay. That just came from nowhere and that's number two.
And then we're going to go to number three. Okay. Bear with me. Okay. Here we are. Number three,
very easy to do. This is actually a double pocket. There's one pocket here, one pocket here,
and then a trifle. Very easy. So let's go ahead and make one of these.
All right. So you can use any size index card, as long as it fits on your page, you're good.
These are probably ones from the Dollar Tree. And I'm just going to take one of them and use a paper
punch. That's grab my little brown dauber with my gathered twigs brown going around the mountain
here. Okay. So if you have index cards, you have possibilities. That's my message. I'm only going
to do that because that's all that shows. Then I'm just going to glue you to, to, to, to, to
got to get my acetone. It's in the bathroom. Yep. Okay. Here we go.
This is a condiment bottle squeeze top with a little twist top. I find it handy. It's maybe
not as fine of a stream of glue as I would like, but I can, I can control it a little bit with the
squeeze strength. It's not bad, honestly, not bad at all. I'm pretty happy with it. All right,
there we go. Those babies together. And now we have our little pockets and I did come and I did
that little corner emphasis, making it look like it has little metallic corners or, you know,
like a photograph corners. And then I did some stamping and I'm, I'm just, I'm going to use this
because that seems to be the theme of that one. Okay. So I think I'm going to have them cross.
Okay. There's one. That was a good one. It has a good stamp. Yeah. I'm going to get their little
tails to touch. We'll try. If it doesn't, it's all right. Yeah. It's okay. Okay. Yeah. Now we're
good. Okay. So now it was from whence it came. And then for the little trifold, I use the medium
ones again, a very simple concept. So this would be like a brochure as opposed to a bifold, like
a greeting card. I try to give you different sizes of these things. Now you could use a picture
from a book or a magazine. It doesn't have to be a digi kit. So don't feel like if you don't have
digi because you can't play, you can absolutely play. You can draw your own art on, on any piece
of cardstock or paper. And it doesn't even have to be cardstock. It could be regular copy paper,
which would be just fine. Okay. So put you in the middle, put you over a little more
to their fold. Yep. Bone folders are very handy here because they just give you a nice sharp crease
and then you just bring that in and there you go. All right. And then you could do whatever
you like in the middle. Maybe I'll just ink this again. Just give it some cohesiveness with
theme and maybe on those two interfold spines, just so they pop a little bit more. Why not turn
everything into something? Right, right. I know. Okay. So this one had lines and two blank spaces.
So maybe with this one, I'm going to have, let's see, what's, what are you, do you write?
You know, a little thick. Oh, that's okay. We can do work with that. This is a favorite Castile
pit artist pen, black one 99 B. I think that means bold or big brush or something like that.
I'm not sure. Some wavy lines. They don't always have to be straight. No, no, no. Yes. Somebody
could still write on this. It's possible. Okay. And maybe I'll do some over here too.
Maybe I was, I was doing this while I was on a rocking boat and that's why the lines go like
that. I don't know. I'm making that up. I'm not on a rocking boat. Okay. Here we go. There we are.
And then maybe I want to do some, I'll use the button one this time, the button peg stamp in
black, but pig stamp, but pig stamp. All right. I'll put you there. I'll put you there and there.
There we go. All right. So there we are. I think I'm meant to go like that. We are done and you
could put a paper clip on that or not. Does anybody else's paper clips do this? Mine do.
I don't know what happens. We can't leave them alone in the box. You never know what's going on
in there. You know what I mean? All right. That in there. And then I can, I can glue in the back
like a U. There's a big pocket and then there's a little pocket. So there you go. And now I could
mass make a bunch of these and toss them aside and then just put them in my journals as I make
them. So a nice way to mass make these. So, oh, if I didn't tell you, I have a special for bundles,
which are collections of old and interesting paper, antique ledger, checks, receipts, postcard,
black and white photos, music paper, plethora of other kinds of papers. Really cool. Interesting
old, um, uh, advertisements, um, uh, music paper, dictionary paper, you name it. A hundred plus
pieces and free priority mail shipping right now in January of 2026. If you order a bundle,
you will automatically get without a code or coupon a triple bonus. I know what three is.
It is a handmade item, hand signed, hand dated from me, a skeleton key and a surprise item. So
you get three items in addition to, so if you're interested in that, um, that's going on right now
in my Etsy shop. So let me see if I can find out by Mr. Snuffles. Are you here? Nope. I got to go
get them. Hold on. All right, here we have Mr. Snuffleupagus. Hello everybody. It's sunshine.
Okay. We'll light a little bit. Okay. We'll put it. That's right. There you go. Hello everybody.
Sunshine. I'm junior cub pup reporter reporting to you from the paper outpost and okay. So this
is the way it went today. Okay. So mom said sunshine had bad breath. So mom climbed into
his mouth, looked all around and said, Hmm, Sonny, it looks like your teeth might be a little dirty.
We need to give you some, um, something to chew on that like takes the tartar off your teeth.
Uh, cause sunshine just went to the dentist not that long ago and had his teeth all cleaned and
everything. So we're trying not to go too soon. You know what I mean? It could be too soon. So
we're going to, okay. Okay. If we have to go, we're going to go, we're going to pop up. You know
what I mean? And waddle in there and get her done. But right now we think it could be fixed with
apples. That's right. So, um, mom, uh, in her great wisdom got me these little dental chewy
things. Okay. So they're green and Sonny chews on them, but then Sonny's little tum-tum didn't
like it. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. So we had to go to plan B and plan B was apples. That's right.
Um, carrots work too. Uh, although sunshine is more of a fan of apples than carrots. So mom makes
these little apple sticks and Sonny gets a little apple to chew on. You say it keeps the doctor away
and we like that idea. Yeah. We want to be healthy pup, healthy pup with fresh breath. And let me tell
you, mom took a big old sniff-a-roo and Oh, she went deep. She went way in there and take a look
way back there and all fresh. That's right. Everything's good. So no more stinky breath
from sunshine. Um, so that's, we're going to be very careful. We're not going to over snack
because, um, it could have been caused by the over snacking of the sunshine. It could be.
So either way, it's all fresh now. Can you smell me? No, I don't think they can smell you
through the, through the TV. Well, thank goodness for that. You're lucky. You're lucky. Okay.
All right. Anything else? No, that about wraps it up. That's all that went on. Okay. Well,
happy crafting sunshine. Okay. Thanks mom. Um, am I crafting? Oh, oh, I can craft too.
Okay. I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to stick my paws in some paint and dance across
some paper and make some poppers. I think that's what I'm going to do. Okay. Well,
we'll see about that. Happy crafting everybody. Okay. Thank you. All right. You go back in your
little place. All right. So if you don't know, I have a free monthly email newsletter.
