Paper Goodness is Expanding

After spending some time thinking about the direction I wanted this blog to go, I decided to expand the topics I will cover here.

In addition to the lovely scrapbooking products that have always been the star here, I will also post information about scrapbooking events, inspiration, tips and so forth. In other words, Paper Goodness will now celebrate both the products we love and how we use them! I hope that with this change,  you’ll find this site to be a better resource for scrapbooking and papercrafting.
