I'm a busy gal!!!! So now it's October and I am finally getting back to the 2015 tags. I'm Betsy Skagen of Paper Calliope and while playing a little catch-up, I decided to make the August tag with a--gasp--October theme. You better alert Homeland Security since I'm such a rebel. One nice thing about being a non-conformist is that I don't feel I have to adhere to a certain product list.
