We're Getting Nostalgic

March is always a special month at Gingersnap Creations. It's our birthday! 3 years ago we started on this fun journey! Now, as we come to the end of it, we are looking back and celebrating our fabulous community by making Family our theme in March which is International Women's Month and National Craft Month. We'll be focusing on heritage and antiquing techniques all month as look to the past with fondness.
