Wow! Congratulations on hitting these big milestones and for inspiring as all along the way! :D I started stamping and cardmaking back in 2002 or so and although I’m not quite as productive as I was back in the day I still aim to make a card project a week and still love to shop! ;) You could say shopping for supplies is my superpower and many a purchase has been made over the years from most of your generous sponsors! :D Thanks for the chance to enter your giveaway!
