Did you have a nice Valentine’s Day? We certainly hope you enjoyed collecting the kits from our SAS-y blog party. If you haven’t already visited the blog train, be sure to pick up your goodies by the 20^th. After that it’s up to each individual designer to decide how much longer they wish to leave their goodies up.

We have our new mega kit: Oriental Cherry Blossoms ready for you! This is the first time I came up with the mega palette and theme, so I certainly hope you enjoy the change.

On a serious and sad note, some of our designers are working on a collaborative kit to benefit the victims of the wildfires in Australia. As we know more we’ll make that information available to you.
