Denise! You are so good to post this! There are still plenty of stamps left from the batch I posted about in Fiber Focus and I’m working on photos for the next batch. I get a new bag in about 4x a year and it’s just a lot of photographing to get them all up.
It will probably be another week before I start listing them on Etsy and eBay, so if you want the discount, check the website for availability: http://www.rayela.com/ata.htm
