Wishing you and your families well at this difficult time.
While my in-person events have been put on pause for now,
I am here for any questions, requests and products you need help with.
My online store is still open or you can call or email me with your orders as usual.
In the meantime, the best place to keep up with what's going on at The Stampers' Mess is on Facebook.
