She is enjoying ... http://paperpersuasions.com/blog/2010/09/03/2010-wedding-season-to-be-our-last/ Well, here it is nearly June 1st and we have yet to post the recap from the first week of May.

She and Chris explored just about every facet of Paper Persuasions.

It appears we were correct. If I had to guess, I would say that 15- 20% of all invitation orders we have placed or handmade so far this season contain a shade of purple either in ... http://paperpersuasions.com/blog/2010/03/25/weekly-recap-march-13th-20th/ So I knew it would be impossible for me to stick with the weekly recaps on...well...a weekly basis.
