Well, this week at I Heart Faces the theme is: Paper. Wow, that’s some pressure! There’s SO much paper in my home… what do I take a photo of? SooooOOOooo… I went to the baby’s room and stuck my head in a flurry of paper clouds above the baby bed… while wearing my “pretty” paper crown of course. You know… cause I always wear a Paper Lady crown wherever I go! ;D If you want you own paper crown, head on over to my Paper Lady crown shop.
