I’ve had my eye on this Free as a Bird Stamp Set for a few years and was SO GLAD when it carried over again into the new catalog. When we lived in NH my desk was in front of a window overlooking the front yard and a field beyond. The cats and I enjoyed watching the birds – even if for very different reasons. LOL. This pretty stamp set reminds me of brilliant sunrises and cute little birds viewed through that window. This one is just Stamps, Ink & Paper for #simplestamping
