Sorry, not in advance, to those who found their way to my blog in the hopes of  maintaining their "29 again" status.  Despite being a self-proclaimed cosmetic junkie, I'm not talking beauty products.  This is a blog for art, not cosmetology.  I'm talking craft products here, most importantly, Distress Inks.
