I’ve been using plain old paper clips to mark my pages in my blog project idea book, and decided that they were way too boring for me. I like sparkly things to get me motivated, so I did some experimenting. This is what I came up with!
Valentine’s Day is only a week away, and it’s such a romantic time for me. That’s the day that the love of my life proposed to me.
