Amazing news to share

I don't know if any of you knew I attempted to sell scraps under the name of Southern Whispers Designs. It's been pointed out to me that I should stick with the name everyone is already familiar with. I took that good advice to heart and dumped the Southern Whispers name and am now creating under the name of HorsePlay's Pasture Designs. The new name feels right and so fitting for my obsession and love for the horse♥ ♥

I do hope you'll drop by and pay me a visit and quite often! You'll find all the latest awesome deals and sales that are going on in the 2 stores I now sell at - Lollipops n Gumdrops and TKO Scraps.

Hugs,
Bev
