festival fun

I had an amazing day at the show today. So good, in fact, I’m going back for more tomorrow! And to everyone who is visiting my site for the first time after picking up my card at the show: welcome!

planetjune merchandise

I’ve ordered business cards etc from VistaPrint before, so I’m on their mailing list for all their promotions. A couple of weeks ago they had an offer that was too good to pass up, so I thought I’d sample a wider range of their products.
