Fiber Bubble: Jar of Winter Sparkle

Jar of Winter Sparkle

Still enjoying time in my Bubble - still enjoying my Christmas presents - still playing with the jar stamp and die cut. Also - still watching Lord of the Rings. I'm watching the commentaries and appendices...hours and hours of interesting tidbits and trivia! I love watching the extra features of some of my favorite movies. Go Kiwis!
