Pretty Paper Things

After I published my <a href="http://nestl-pure-life-purified-water.linqiad.com/click/YHVXaGU1d3Jk">post yesterday</a>, I couldn't believe I forgot to add the funniest thing about my wonderful and loving Grandma -- She is crazy for those 50 Shades of Gray books! She's been on me to read them for months, but I still haven't gotten around to it.  I know lots of people are fans- I just didn't know my Grandma was one of them!<br /><br /><br /><br />I've been busy doing other things, like going crazy buying washi tape and starting a blog calendar.  These are the things that make my inner 12-year-old girl all giddy.  Brightly colored markers . . .<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
