    1. Thanks, Erin! I see so many cute crafts, but I don't think I have the cajones to go in and swipe a whole pile. I'll have to ration out the ones I have left from when we were actually painting our house a few years ago. Speaking of those...where are they, and where is my bunny paper punch? :)

    1. Thanks, Nichole, for reading! Interesting point! I definitely feel like if I take them, there won't be enough for people who really need them for their intended purpose. I have plenty of other materials to keep my hands busy!
