I love the "as the deer set", so far I'd say that's my favorite, but it is a very difficult choice! So many wonderful stamp sets

I think it definitely has to be the pop-ups! That bunny is the cutest!

I LOVE the cottages!!

Cathi said...

I can never choose favorites.......thus the reason my stamp collection required the purchase of another home (to hide things in from the hubby!)
But I will pick Barnyard Chubbies..... It seems to be a favorite of many... :)

Unknown said...

I do love all your sets but in particular the girlfriends are just super! I also have to “hide” my items........ Suexx

Unknown said...

I love them all but doggy kisses is my favorite.

Patti said...

I like the Lighthouse Circlet

Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy. What’s app contact : +44 7520 636249‬
