sloppy joes a-la nicole

I love when our customers send us photos or stories about gifts they received or memorable experiences they’ve had at catching fireflies.  Here’s one that warmed my heart.

"I just wanted to let you know I really love your store and website!  Everything is so creative and I can always count on a visit bringing a smile to my face.  My husband also loves browsing your store, which is not always the case in stores I like to go to. 

A while ago I purchased an a.i. paper design  recipe stand and lucky me a recipe for Sloppy Joes came with and I just so happened to have some ground beef defrosted and I didn’t know what I was making for dinner.  So I used my new recipe and we loved it!"

A big fan,
