Good morning!

Hope you are all doing well.  We're gearing up for a fun new stamp release for the summer so make sure to mark you calendars for our release day, June 15th.  We'll start with previews next week so be sure to stop back.

Well I've finally finished it, here is the tutorial for the 2-drawer easel box which I feature Yumi & Fumi.  Mind you it's my first tutorial and I would love some feedback.  It's mostly pictures with lots of subtitles so hopefully it's easy to follow.  Click on the pictures for the details and if you have any questions please leave them in the comments section.  I want to thank Kathy for the inspiration and help with parts of this tutorial!!  Thanks!
