A Paper Enthusiast

What did you say?
A paperless society??
NOOO!!
You can't do away with paper! (Ok, I know they mean as far as office work is concerned, we're leaning more heavily on computers.) So I'm not completely freaking out.

But I love paper....after God, my husband, our children, our grandchildren, our extended family, my friends....

That's why I chose this name for my blog - Papier Aficionada.
Papier is French for paper.
Aficionada is Spanish for enthusiast, ardent fan or devotee.
Ardent might be a little strong, it means fervent, passionate or characterized by intense feeling.
I like paper, but come on....!


I do however, thoroughly enjoy creating cards, scrapbook pages, cards, boxes, cards, purses, cards, just about anything out of paper, did I say cards?

I enjoy making cards so much I think everyone should make them. That's why I'm offering classes on papercrafting. So join me in my passion......here's my Fall /Winter Schedule!
